PLOT SUMMARY

British science fiction has a long and distinguished history. This series plots the history of the genre, examining the way the tropes, ideas and themes have been treated by British writers, artists and film-makers.

An excellent and long overdue look at the history of British science fiction in print, comics, film and television. Naturally, it was buried away in a graveyard slot when it deserved a much wider audience.
