Editing Journey into Space (section)

==In translation==
A [[Dutch-language]] version of the first three series of ''Journey into Space'' was broadcast in the [[Netherlands]] by the {{lang|nl|[[Katholieke Radio Omroep]]}} (KRO) in 1955–1958 under the title {{langnf|nl|Sprong in het heelal|Leap Into the Universe}}, directed by Léon Povel. Translation was by Eddy Franquinet and the main character roles were played by John de Freese (Jeff Morgan {{sic}}), Adolf Bouwmeester / Louis de Bree (Doc Matthews), Jan van Ees (Mitch Mitchell), and [[Jan Borkus]] (Jimmy Barnett).

Director Léon Povel died just a few days after Charles Chilton, on 8 January 2013, at the age of 101 years. After his death, his youngest son Winfried Povel started recording the fourth series {{langnf|nl|De terugkeer van Mars|Return from Mars|links=no}} with professional actors and as a special guest the Dutch astronaut [[André Kuipers]]. The recording was much longer than the BBC version, at 2 hours 11 minutes, so the play was edited into four episodes (30–36 minutes each) and broadcast as a mini-series. It was broadcast in January 2014 by the [[KRO-NCRV]] as well on [[NPO Radio 5]] and repeated the same night on [[NPO Radio 1]].<ref>Dutch version of ''Journey into Space'': [[:nl:Sprong in het heelal]]</ref>{{Circular reference|date=April 2017}}
