>How is it that I have never heard of this before?!?!?

I was wondering that very thing about, oh, 17 hours ago. There's an offhanded reference to it in an episode of James May's 20th Century (he uses "the cover of Jeff Wayne's excellent Musical Version of The War of the Worlds" as an example of an electrical insulator), and I was a bit baffled by the concept - The War of the Worlds as a rock opera?! - but hey, Captain Slow said it was good, so I tracked it down.

Within not a very long time at all, I knew how Kate spent part of the missing S3-S4 period. (How she ended up associated with the BBC Etereophonic Orchestra in the first place has, as these things happen, nothing to do with Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, but... )
