British Science Fiction
Hollywood is not the only place where science
fiction has been nurtured. Indeed, many believe the true center of sci-fi
is located several time zones east of North America, across the Atlantic - Great
Britain. Like the music
invasion that brought the Beatles to American audiences, media companies like
ITC introduced Americans and the world to fantastic visions of life in space and destinies for
Earth that we might wish to avoid.
American authors ignored by Hollywood have provided excellent
material for British Sci-Fi. Perspectives from the UK positively
influenced American productions.
Even today, the media studios are
manned by fans who admire and love the history of British science fiction.
The worlds of creators like Gerry Anderson inspired the people who developed the
worlds of Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens, and dozens of other popular American
series.
For fans, British Sci-Fi fills a void
that can never be filled by any other source. |
