Three programmes on the history and development of Science Fiction, compiled and presented by Bryan Silcock
2: Here Be Aliens
'Classical SF starts with Frankenstein or the novels of Jules Verne and runs from the 19th century up to 1927 and Gernsback's founding of the American SF magazine Amazing. At that point there was a change. SF became commercial and if you wanted to publish SF as a writer, you had to publish within commercial magazines. There was no alternative.'
(J. G. BALLARD )
In this second programme BRYAN SILCOCK discusses hard-core Science Fiction - Aliens, Time Travel, Interplanetary Invasions, Robots - with several leading Science Fiction writers, and examines the cult of SF Fandom.
Extracts performed by PHILIP FOX , ROGER HAMMOND GORDON REID and JENNY TWIGGE
