This pioneering book argues that British science fiction television
-
all too often
derided for the quality of its special effects
-
deserves to be taken seriously. From
Doctor Who to Red Dwarf, Thunderbirds to The Hitchhiker s Guide to the Galaxy;
The Prisoner, Blake s
7
and Ouatermass, the science fiction genre has produced
some of the most memorable and cherished of all British television shows.
Exported internationally, they have fascinated and delighted audiences with their
peculiarly British visions of the future. Many of them
-
if not most
-
have taken on
iconic status.
Written by leading academics in TV history and science fiction studies, British
Science Fiction Television also features an exclusive interview with Thunderbirds
creator and producer Gerry Anderson, and a contribution from an acclaimed
biographer of the late Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker s Guide to the
Galaxy. The first detailed national survey of this most well-loved of TV genres, the
book looks in-depth at all of the most famous shows, as well as revisiting such
gems as Joe
90,
UFO, The Tomorrow People, Survivors, Threads, Sapphire and
Steel, Invasion: Earth and The Last Train. For those interested in science fiction
and in the way television illuminates wider aspects of social and cultural history,
for students and for fans, this is essential reading.
John R, Cook is Senior Lecturer in Mass Media at Glasgow Caledonian University
and the author of Dennis Potter: A Life on Screen. Peter Wright is Senior
Lecturer in Literature and Film Studies at Edge Hill College of Higher Education
and the author of Attending Daedalus: Gene Wolfe, Artifice and the Reader.
