# Rob John The Spaceman

1 episodes.

Set in 1961, Maggie and Michael are anxiously awaiting the results of the 11+ exam. After learning of Yuri Gagarin's heroic feat, they embark on an adventure which involves inviting him to English to meet with them. Their summer turns into one of lost innocence and fading childhood dreams as Maggie and Michael plan to go their separate ways. A 'coming of age' play that asks questions about social engineering, loyalty, ambition and the importance of having a dream, 'The Spaceman' contains plenty of humour as it recalls the universal experience of growing up. Afternoon Play: The Spaceman First Broadcast: 31 January 2003 BBC Radio 4

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
