The anthology brings together international scholars from a range of
disciplines, these essays examine the uniquely British contribution to
science fiction film and television. Viewing British SF as a cultural
phenomenon that challenges straightforward definitions of genre,
nationhood, authorship and media, the editors provide a conceptual
introduction placing the essays within their critical context. Essay
topics include Hammer science fiction films, the various incarnations of
Doctor Who, Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, and such 21st-century
productions as 28 Days Later and Torchwood.
