Three programmes on the history and development of Science Fiction, compiled and presented by Bryan Silcock
1: New Hells on Earth
' Contemporary Science Fiction takes a whole lot of things that we know and imagines them for us. And the function of keeping the imagination alive has far more virtue than predicting clones or the space race. The imagination most readily feeds on the hopes and terrors of the present day and Science Fiction can show us what will happen if that sort of situation develops and gets out of hand.'
(Brian Aldiss)
In this first programme Bryan Silcock talks to a number of Science Fiction writers and examines the art of writing alternative history and how SF can comment on contemporary problems.
