As featured on London Live.
The ultimate guide to the fantastical genre … they show how seemingly divergent work – from the first Doctor Who to the DeLorean of Back to the Future and Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator – can be considered part of the same storytelling tradition. SUNDAY POST
Taking in Doctor Who, Star Trek, the Back to the Future trilogy, and the seasonal treat that is A Christmas Carol, among others, each subject area is presented in bite-sized sections that will keep you occupied for ages, but we’ve all got plenty of time, haven’t we? BEST OF BRITISH
