Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, read by Edward deSouza
Oneword Radio played this fantasy tale. It is a Christian metaphor [like the Narnia tales or Faerie Queene ], from an era when a religious pilgrimage was a once-in-lifetime holiday for land-bound persons.
In this episode, the pilgrims are captured by the giant named Dispair.

The Cadets finally return to Earth, in more ways than one.
Perhaps the reason the show never picked up the cult following of Big Bro, despite all the advance publicity, is time. It usually took a month for word-of-mouth to get about, and ratings to buildup. Pity - it was a nice idea.
