Sci-fi fans, make sure you’re sitting down while reading this. (Which is most likely, unless you have one of those standing desks… I babble when I’m giddy. Bear with me.)
BBC America will premiere a documentary series called The Real History of Science Fiction next month. It’ll be in four parts and will cover the development of science fiction, its many fantastic stories, and the genius creators who will forever live on in our hearts. Check out the synopsis here:
“The Real History of Science Fiction delves into the real history of science fiction with filmmakers, writers, actors, and graphic artists looking back on their experiences and on how their obsession and imagination has taken them into the unknown.
“From Star Wars to 2001: A Space Odyssey, and from Jurassic Park to Doctor Who, each program is packed with contributors behind these creations and traces the developments of Robots, Space, Invasion and Time. Narrated by Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who writer, actor and co-creator of the BBC’s Sherlock, the series determines why science fiction is not merely a genre… for its audience it’s a portal to a multi-verse – one that is all too easy to get lost in.”
Seeing the people involved in this project is enough to make any sci-fi fan hyperventilate.
