Today, we delve into the curious happenings on Horsell Common, where the unexpected arrival of an otherworldly object brings an eclectic mix of locals to wonder and conjecture. We tread the fine line between the ordinary and the extraordinary, witnessing the town's initial reactions to what will become a monumental event in human history. We'll explore Wells' masterful handling of suspense and the shared human response to the unknown, set against the backdrop of England at the turn of the 20th century—a world both fascinated and fearful of the rapidly changing tides of science and technology. The characters you'll meet—gardeners, butchers, loafers, and astronomers—collectively embody the spectrum of societal roles and interests, all converging on a common patch of land that, unbeknownst to them, is ground zero for an event of cosmic proportions.

The War of the Worlds, by H  G  Wells chapter 13 "How I Fell in with The Curate", narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Martians flee after the folly from their human foes, but following this small victory for man, a cylinder falls every 24 hours, bolstering the invading army. The Martians seem to spend the next few days transferring materials from other cylinders to the first one that fell on Horsell Common, and slowly, a green cloud of smoke rose from their workplace.Our protagonist slowly clampers into a boat floating on the stream, and drifts lazily down the river towards Haliford. Haliford was quite on fire, creating a tranquil scene, where the houses were burning, but there were no spectators watching in awe or screaming. Near Walton bridge, our protagonist falls onto the bank, sickly walks for a mile, and then stops most likely sleeping. When he awoke, he noticed another man near him. The Curate, asks some philosophical questions, asking why these things happened to them; what sins had they committed? Our protagonist tries to calm the curate down by asking some mundane questions, but the man ignores him, and goes on in his speculations of the end. The curate asks how man can win against these creatures, and the protagonist proceeds to inform him, that one was taken out near Weybridge.Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today⁠VPN: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠Antivirus: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:⁠Incogni: https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreadsSupport the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

Forming in 2002, Anberlin released their sophomore record Never Take Friendship Personal in 2005, garnering praise for its ample hooks, sweeping melodies and accessible sheen. Eventually the band would go on to be signed by major label Universal Republic, experiencing significantly improved record sales, radio play and bigger touring opportunities, but it is Never Take Friendship Personal that represents Anberlin's time in the scene the best. Horsell Common were a 3-piece rock band from Melbourne, Victoria releasing their one and only full length record The Rescue in 2007, before calling it a day in 2010. The Rescue features high octane tracks like Good From Afar, delicate duets like Annie, If You're Listening and a guest feature by Anberlin's Stephen Christian on I'm Dead. The Rescue remains a criminally underrated release, by a criminally underrated band - owing in part to their untimely demise.

@TinDogPodcast reviews @BigFinish Classics - The Martian Invasion Of Earth and its Simply fantastic. A practically perfect adaptation. This title was released in February 2018. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until March 31st 2018, and on general sale after this date. 'No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s…' A curiosity falls to Earth on Horsell Common, and a nightmare begins. England is laid waste by huge fighting machines, armed with devastating heat rays. Humanity brings its own weapons to bear upon the invaders, but can they be any match?   Trapped in a war of two worlds, one couple battles to survive. Herbert and Amy bear witness to… The Martian Invasion of Earth.   Producer David Richardson Script Editor Matt Fitton Executive Producers Jason Haigh-Ellery and Nicholas Briggs Written By: HG Wells, dramatised by Nicholas Briggs Directed By: Nicholas Briggs Cast Richard Armitage (Herbert), Lucy Briggs-Owen (Amy), Hywel Morgan (Curate), Ewan Bailey (Daniel), Richard Derrington (Ogilvy), Helen Goldwyn (Agatha), Christopher Weeks (Edward), Benedict Briggs (Boy), Nicholas Briggs (Martians / First Officer). Other parts played by members of the cast.  

Francis Spufford begins his journey following H.G. Wells' Martian invaders at the Basingstoke Canal that runs through Woking. Here Wells canoed with his lover amidst the wild vegetation and dreamed about Mars, at the time widely believed to be criss-crossed by vast canals created by an ancient and dying race. Wells wrote his book at the height of Martian Fever when the work of astronomers Schiaparelli and Percival Lowell had created intense speculation about life on Mars. But Wells' Martians are evolution's nightmare. We end on Horsell Common, sight of the first crashed Martian cylinder. Joining Francis Spufford are the science writer Oliver Morton (Mapping Mars) and the Historical Geographer Maria Lane (Geographies of Mars). Producer: Mark Burman.

We’re back! Having come to the end of ‘The Riddle of the Sands’, we find another book that is ‘curiously specific about dates and locations’. A day-trip to Woking, Weybridge and Shepperton allows us to map out the action of the opening chapters of H. G. Wells’s ’The War of the Worlds’. Lloyd explains how Woking, since Victorian times, has been a town marked by death, and goes in search of the first working mosque in Western Europe outside of Moorish Spain. Tim addresses the basic questions of exactly when the Martians might have landed in Woking, how long it would have taken them to fly from Mars to Earth, and how big a Martian tripod is (not the size of the model one in Woking shopping centre btw). First up, we explain how and why our attempt at crowdfunding at Unbound has come to an end, and how our supporters can get their money back (00:25). We affirm our intention to keep noodling around with old books, and focus on ‘The War of the Worlds’ (02:57). Our first impressions of Woking (04:17); the story of how a pub in Woking got to be named after Ogilvy the astronomer (05:41); Woking as a town of death (07:07); a tip of the hat to Woking boy, Paul Weller (08:54); a visit to Horsell Common, where the Martians landed (10:32). Tim’s thoughts about when the Martians might have landed (12:00), including information about the Opposition of Mars (13:21), a proposed launch date from Mars of 12th February 1901 (14:54), a discussion about how fast objects fly through space (17:28), a proposed landing date of 7th or 14th June 1901 (21:56). Lloyd reveals the history of the Woking mosque (22:20), and the town’s long association with Islamism (24:36); the extraordinary life of Gottleib Leitner and the creation of the Oriental College (27:23). Having razed Woking, we move on to the destruction of Weybridge and Shepperton, and try to work out how big a Martian tripod actually is (30:51); a few interesting and mainly useless facts about Shepperton (33:15); estimating a tripod’s stride and height (36:05); tall buildings of Britain that a tripod might tower over, including the tallest building in the UK in 1895 (38:02). No Club Business - but many many thanks to everyone who has written to us, and to all who have supported us over the last 18 months.
