British television has a distinct flavour when it comes to science fiction. Informed amongst other influences by the industrial revolution, the space race between the USA and Russia, the Sixties social revolution, the Seventies occult revival, the economic crisis of the Eighties, the growth of the World Wide Web in the Nineties and the futureshock of the 21st century.

Join us on an enthusiastic, critical look back at some British television's most interesting science fiction series. From cult favourites like The Tripods to obscurities such as The Uninvited. Each episode, host Gareth Preston is joined by special guests to discuss a show, celebrating its achievements and appraising the mistakes.
