From killer plants to perhaps the most underrated series in sci-fi history… Like the Triffids in Wyndhams book, these arent deadly monsters.
Wells Martians than most other attempts.
Play for Tomorrow (1982)
We love an anthology series.
Its an area dominated by the big names The Twilight Zone,The Outer Limits,Inside No.
But where its predecessor focused on contemporary social realism,Play for Tomorrowtold stories of the future.
We say the future most of its future is already in our past.
One of the more future-set episodes is called Easter 2016.
But one of his less-remembered shows wasKinvig, Kneales only venture into the sitcom genre.
Canned laughter lands at random moments.
That awkward brand of specifically-British-sitcom misogyny peeks out at every turn.
Still, it is worth watching just as an artefact of TV history.
The costumes, however well, theres that British-sitcom,Carry Onmovie sexism again.
They were bound to get it right eventually.
A presence, watching you.
You likedThe Expansebecause of its realism?
Compared toStar Cops,The Expanseis fricking Star Wars.
