My God, It’s Full Of Stars: A Journey To The Edge Of Science Fiction – “the story of one of the liveliest and most stimulating genres in popular culture” – will be told through its impact on cinema, television and literature, from HG Wells’s War Of The Worlds to The Terminator, from Doctor Who to Star Wars.

The four-part co-production with BBC America and BBC Arts will be made with the help of the genre’s greatest pioneers: the filmmakers, writers, actors, and graphic artists whose obsession and imagination has taken them into the unknown.

Each episode will explore one of the enduring themes of science fiction: time travel; the exploration of space; robots and artificial intelligence; and aliens.

Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC Two, commented: “…we’ll be setting a channel first as we take an in-depth look at the cult of science fiction.”
