Today BBC America announced its co-production of a documentary about the impact of sci-fi on “cinema” (because they’re British), TV and literature. The announcement promises four episodes, each with a different theme: time travel, space exploration, robots and AI, and aliens. Through those episodes “this series will guide viewers through a rich, thought-provoking and endlessly exciting genre.”
Aren’t the norms adorable? I’m really looking forward to seeing what they do; BBC America productions rarely disappoint.
By the way, you’ll see that the title includes a “(W/T)” at the end; it stands for “working title”. Although the quote they incorporate (from 2001: A Space Odyssey) is terrific, it does make for a very long title, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes.
