Mitchell and Leslie Nielsen) plus modern stories ("The Monsters From

  Hosted by Truman Bradley, produced by Ivan Tors for two seasons,1956-57. Bradley opened each show by demonstrating an invention or scientific principle upon which the show was to be based. Tried very
  hard to present all its bizarre melodramas in a matter-of-fact, credible way - almost journalistic in its approach - and always
  avoided any kind of trick ending. At its best was very good, at its
  worst, flat out boring. I enjoyed some of them as a child.
  I'm also interested in finding out if the old British TV series,
  "Out Of The Unknown" is available, plots usually involved earthlings
  making contact with both friendly and unfriendly extraterrestials.
  Not shown in USA. - AH

Are any of them out on tape? This was the kind of program, I would have done anything to watch when I was a kid.
Missed most of them because either my dad had a cowboy show on or else I had to be in bed. Most of my sci fi came from reading in those days.
What were the good radio shows? "Lights Out" was one, I think.
