Synopsis

On a remote Scottish island, Doctors Curtis Lark and John Cornelius are convinced that the violent death of their friend Dr Hugh Dexter was no accident... Dexter's research notes reveal that he was investigating an island sickness affecting many of the inhabitants, turning them into zombies blindly obeying orders from an unknown source. The key to the mystery seems to be an apparently telepathic, but simple-minded, local girl, Flora. Lark and Cornelius want to take her to London to find out more - but is she the only telepath to have left the island? And who is controlling them? Film horror legends Peter Cushing and Vincent Price play Lark and Cornelius in this six-part series, which also features Richard Hurndall (Blake's 7 and Doctor Who) among the cast. Written by Rene Basilico, it is based on a story by 1970s Doctor Who script editor Robert Holmes.

Goodreads review by Coyle on July 08, 2012

I was surprisingly disappointed with this radio drama, given that it co-starred Vincent Price and Peter Cushing. I mean really, how can you go wrong with that combination? I think the issue was that it was a radio drama. Had it just been read as an audio book without the full cast and sound effects,......more

Goodreads review by Simon on August 21, 2018

This story was adapted from an unmade Dr Who script by the best Who writer/editor ever, Bob Holmes and it was adapted by Rene Basilico who did an awesome job of adapting John Le Carre novels for the radio and it stars Peter Cushing & Vincent Price. It has all the elements to be a cracker, but it fal......more

Goodreads review by Kelvin on January 21, 2016

"Aliens in the Mind" is a 1976 radio sci-fi story (BBC, 2006) about human mutants with telepathic and mind control abilities. It’s hammy and slightly outdated, but because it stars two of the best hammy actors in the business—Vincent Price and Peter Cushing—it’s still enjoyable. Recommended.......more

Quotes

Cushing is the perfect gentleman investigator, while Price could be reading a tax return and it would still be gripping. It might be old but this screams quality, just as loudly as that howling wind. Radio Times
