Details

The Netherlands in the year 2000-that much. The Gamma Crew, led by Joost Ros, was trained as a third team to make this journey as part of an expedition to the rings of Saturn. When the first and second teams die, they are the only ones left to make this journey. Under mysterious circumstances they embark on their journey and the team is faced with all kinds of issues such as intrigue, jealousy, mutual suspicions and sabotage. Earth is being notified from the rings of Saturn that the sun will turn nova in 7 months, and there is nothing left for the team to do but to convince the Galactic Council of the incorporation of the Earthlings into their federation. Will Joost and his followers succeed in saving the world from certain doom? Test Crew is a 29-part radio play based on the book by Carl Lans from 1961/1962, directed by Léon Povel. “As for me, I think" Test Crew "is great; I have been fascinated by it from the moment I saw the first part of it. The subject has gripped me and the ingenious way in which it has been elaborated; I licked my fingers for the task of coming up with 180 brand new sounds (I didn't do that alone, by the way; the sounds in 'Test Crew' are the work of a triumvirate: sound engineer André du Bois, sound engineer Ad van de Ven and me) and what I was particularly impressed by the way in which Lans made people perform in his game. I missed that at "Jump Into the Universe"; the figures did not have a face of their own. However, "Test crew" has many psychological sides; it contains human conflicts and that is why the persons are real, more human. I expect "Test Crew" to be as successful or perhaps even greater than the "Leap" - which I would really like for Carl Lans, who has come as a complete surprise to us as a science fiction writer. We did not even know that there were authors in the Netherlands who occupied themselves with these kinds of future fantasies. ” Léon Povel, radio play director since 1948.
