BBC Worldwide say:
BBC AMERICA
and BBC Two announced today a new four-part docu-series co-production My
God, It’s Full of Stars: A Journey to the Edge of Science Fiction (W/T).
The series heads to the very frontiers of space and science to produce the
definitive television history of science fiction. The story of one of the
liveliest and most stimulating genres in popular culture will be told through
its impact on cinema, television and literature.
Each episode will explore one of the enduring themes of
science fiction: time travel; the exploration of space; robots and artificial
intelligence; and aliens. It will be made with the help of the genre’s greatest
pioneers: the filmmakers, writers, actors, and graphic artists whose obsession
and imagination has taken them into the unknown. Having explored the future,
the past, parallel universes and galaxies far, far away, they are now ready to
report back on their experiences.
This is the story of science fiction told by the men and
women who fell to earth… From HG Wells's War Of The Worlds to The
Terminator, from Doctor Who to Star Wars this series will
guide viewers through a rich, thought-provoking and endlessly exciting genre.
The executive producer for the BBC is Michael Poole and
overseeing production for BBC AMERICA
are Richard De Croce and Rachel Smith.
