Time travelling back to 1938 with my #BFISciFiblog on SF telly. From early productions of R.U.R to the debut of The Prisoner and the inspiring work of Nigel Kneale, Sydney Newman and Irene Shubik.
Frank Collins looks back to the origins of British Science Fiction television to mark the BFI's major celebration of the genre. Two BBC adaptations of Karel Čapek's 1921 stage play R.U.R were the earliest examples of British Science Fiction television, and bookended the Second World War.
