Angel is a 274-year-old vampire who has been cursed with a conscience. The brooding one left the small town of Sunnydale, and the only women he ever truly loved, to take up residence in Los Angeles, coincidentally, the City of Angels. L.A. has proven to be the perfect address for a fallen vampire, looking to save lost souls and in turn, perhaps redeem his own. The centuries-old vampire teams up with other misfit types that combined, make up the well-oiled machine they call 'Angel Investigations'.
Angel is a spin-off series of the immensely popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Babylon 5, the acclaimed, award-winning series about the space station that's the tumultuous center of the 23rd-century's bid for peace among humans and aliens. Babylon 5 was the first-ever television series to use extensive computer-generated imagery and to shoot and air in a widescreen format. The series rewarded fan loyalty and broke new ground by maintaining narrative consistency through a five-year story arc, and the show was singled out by NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and other noted institutions for its science-based treatment of futuristic space themes/technology. Babylon 5 won two Emmys (for Groundbreaking Visual Effects and Makeup) and earned the Saturn Award for Best Genre Cable/Syndicated Series (1999) from the Academy of Science-Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.
'Crusade' picks up the torch from Babylon 5, beginning in the late 23rd century, as humanity defeats the evil Shadow race. But its allies remain - and they swear revenge. A 13 episode series.

For a thousand years, the twelve worlds that are the colonies of humanity have been at war with the empire of the Cylons, whose brutal machine centurions are sworn to slaughter every last human being until none remain. However, a change is in the air, or so it is said. Through the efforts of the human emissary Baltar (John Colicos, best remembered by genre fans as the original Klingon commander from “Star Trek”, Kor), a peace has been brokered, and the human space fleet, centered around its twelve mighty Battlestars, is on its way to the Cylon homeworld to escort the human leadership for the finalization of the armistice. All are rejoicing, save for Adama (Lorne Greene, best remembered previously from “Bonanza”), commander of the Battlestar Galactica, who refuses to believe that the Cylons truly want peace, and who suspects a trap. His suspicions are proven right when a massive Cyclon attack force ambushes the fleet, destroying every large ship save for the Galactica. Worse, with the fleet away, the Cylons are able to attack the twelve human colonies unopposed, nearly wiping out the entire civilian population save for a few thousand refugee souls. Knowing that humanity cannot stay where it is and hope to survive, Adama organizes the surviving humans into a convoy around the Galactica, which will lead them on a quest to find a new home; specifically, a home on the nearly mythical lost thirteenth colony of humanity, a world known as Earth…

Blake learns that he was once a major resistance leader, but the Federation have wiped his memory. They try him for crimes he did not commit and he is sentenced to exile...
There begins the tale of a dark future where humankind is ruled by the domineering Federation. Created by the man who brought us the Daleks (Terry Nation), Blake's 7 ran for a total of of four, 13 episode seasons. Blake himself (played by Gareth Thomas) left at the end of the second season and it was left to Avon (Paul Darrow) to the lead the rebels in their fight against the relentless Federation.
The show relied more on excellent writing then it did on big budget special effects and remains one of the best written science fiction shows ever.

The year is 1987, and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes. In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and it's pilot, Captain William 'Buck' Rogers (Gil Gerard), are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life support systems and returns Buck Rogers to earth 500 years later.
Buck's piloting skills make him an ideal starfighter recruit for the Earth Defense Directorate, where his closest colleagues are Dr. Huer (Tim O'Connor), squadron leader Col. Wilma Deering (former model Erin Gray, looking totally foxy in figure-hugging spandex), the wisecracking robot Twiki (voiced by cartoon legend Mel Blanc), and a portable computer-brain named Dr. Theopolis.

The adventures of the timelord who spanned decades of British television. From his beginnings in the early sixties many have been cast as the Doctor - it is generally believed your favourite is likely to be the one you grew up with.
Almost as popular as the Doctor himself have been the legions of Doctor's assistants - who can ever forget the sexy Jo Grant (Katy Manning), Sarah Jane Smith (Elizabeth Sladen) and Leela (Louise Jameson) who helped countless teenage boys claw their way through puberty.
The show also became renowned for its vast array of legendary monsters such as the Daleks, Cybermen, Ice Warriors, Silurians and Zygons; not forgetting the Doctor's arch-nemesis The Master...

An ambitious coproduction of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Australia's Channel 9 and Hallmark Entertainment, Farscape launched itself with a refreshing mix of CGI, prosthetics and state-of-the-art puppetry to take a visual leap beyond other genre shows. The witty scripts, too, peppered with double-entendres and pop-culture references, are light years away from the staid style of Star Trek. Although critics do say this is just Buck Rogers re-visited or even a US version of Blake's 7 as the parallels from those two series are too obvious to ignore. The concept and presentation of the show more than makes up for this however (and imitation of good products surely cannot be a bad thing) making Farscape a show to stand the test of time.

From the genius of Douglas Adams came what was undoubtably his best and most famous works. Hitchhikers came at us in many incarnations - each a different telling of the same story.
The DVD covers the adventures of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian and Marvin the paranoid android essentially across the first two books - The hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy and The restaurant at the end of the universe. The original radio series from the seventies is available on CD (primary and secondary phases) where the story departs somewhat from the book into uncharted realms but is still a fantastic piece of writing supported by an excellent cast.
Today, post Adams' sad and untimely death, the BBC has reunited the cast to produce a dramatisation of the third book - Life, the universe and everything, as the tertiary phase. The fourth and fifth books (So long and thanks for all the fish and Mostly harmless) are in for the same treatment - can't wait!

"In a time before history, in a place named Middle-earth, a dark and powerful lord has brought together the forces of evil to destroy its cultures and enslave all life caught in his path. Sauron's time has come and he needs only one small object, a Ring that has been lost for centuries, to snuff out the light of civilization and cover the world in darkness. Though he has put all of his power into the search for it, fate has put it in the hands of a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins, who inherits the Ring and steps into legend."
So begins the epic 3 volume tale that makes Lord of the Rings - written by Professor Tolkien and first published between 1954 and 1956: The Fellowship of the Ring; The Two Towers; The Return of the King - described as the book of the century. The saga did not make it to the big screen until the turn of the century - maybe that was just as well as only modern cinematic techniques and special effects could do the story justice.

Lost in Space began life in 1965 as a science-fiction take on The Swiss Family Robinson. Produced by Irwin Allen, then in the midst of his run of spectacular-but-childish TV SF. The show featured a family of all-American space colonists cast away on a mysterious planet. Gradually the whole thing devolved into a silly (but fun) exercise in childish camp.
The show's undoubted star was Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris) the unwitting ship's stowaway who constantly tries to rid himself of the crew (although this is done in a comic rather than mean manner). He is always foiled of course by a combination of events and the intervention of the boy Will Robinson (Billy Mumy) and the utterly wonderful robot. The interaction between Smith and the robot gives rise to the best dialogue in the whole show especially given the imaginative and colourful stream of insults that Smith is always able to conjure.
Episodes were typically written and directed by a wide variety of people, so there was not always a feeling of "continuity" from episode to episode. However, each always ended in some type of "cliffhanger", with the message, "Tune in next week, same time, same station." Great stuff.

One of the oddest shows ever mounted for mainstream UK television, Sapphire & Steel was one of ITV's many short-lived attempts at grabbing the sci-fi cult status of the BBC's Doctor Who. Ex-Man From U.N.C.L.E. David McCallum and ex-Avenger Joanna Lumley play human-looking incarnations of the eponymous substances, mysterious investigators working at the behest of an apparent God of Order and zipping about TARDIS-like to cope with anomalies in the time-stream that manifest as apparent supernatural forces in remote English locales.
