Frankenstein's Monster is such a success worldwide because of the British people who had input into the mythos.

This week the presenters check out an Indian superhero - Shaktimaan! The red and gold-clad hero is made of 5 elements [earth, air, fire, water, space] and uses his powers to take on terrorists and drug dealers. The plots seem about as interesting as those on Lois & Clark , but unfortunately the SPFX are of the Bollywood level.
One might be tempted to sneer at the low production values, but when was the last time we saw a BRITISH superhero? What the hell ever happened to British Science Fiction?

This is the first episode of a series that explores the British roots of modern Science Fiction. This week it is the works of HG Wells.
To discuss War of the Worlds the presenters visit the site where in the book the Martians attacked and destroyed Woking in Surrey. Wells was an atheist, and his portrayal of priests was very negative. The Hollywood version took the opposite approach. This book was the first use of the blaster-gun!
The Time Machine was the first real story about time travel. Wells was a Socialist, and his creation of the Morlocks and the Eloi was his visualisation of the eventual result of the Class system. He hated the complacency of the suburbs, and wreaked havok on it whenever possible.
The Invisible Man was Well's take on the concept of the mad scientist.

This is a documentary that covers both the history and the planned future of the exploration of Mars. The history covered reaches from the Mariner probe in the 1960s and the Viking probes of the 1970s to the probes sent in the 1990s. The future covered is an experiment in survival equipment that is being held on Devon Island, Canada, within the arctic circle.
Arthur C. Clarke appears in an interview, and shows that although he lives in Sri Lanka he has retained his Bristol accent.
Disappointments include the fact that no mention is made of the Cydonian Face or of the Martian moon that is apparently hollow. Ah well, maybe in episode two ...
