BBC AMERICA PREMIERES NEW ORIGINAL DOCU-SERIES THE REAL HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION ON APRIL 19

As told by the genre’s greatest pioneers, the four-part docu-series explores recurring science fiction themes: Robots, Space, Invasion and Time

 

New York –, 2014 – BBC AMERICA delves into the real history of science fiction with filmmakers, writers, actors and graphic artists looking back on their experiences and on how their obsession and imagination has taken them into the unknown. The new original documentary series is a BBC AMERICA and BBC Two co-production. The Real History of Science Fiction premieres Saturday, April 19, 10:00pm ET.

From Star Wars to 2001: A Space Odyssey, and from Jurassic Park to Doctor Who, each program is packed with contributors behind these creations and traces the developments of Robots, Space, Invasion and Time. Narrated by Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who writer, actor and co-creator of the BBC’s Sherlock, the series determines why science fiction is not merely a genre... for its audience it’s a portal to a multi-verse – one that is all too easy to get lost in.

At least with me gone they could learn to remember the old me, the person I was fleetingly when I knew how to be happy and how to live. Depriving them of my physical presence just by being alive, they’d learn to remember me the way I wanted to remember myself.

Eleven authors with different styles and different imaginations have come together to help out a great cause.  That cause is to fight against bullying and help Emily Foster raise money for her charity that helps to bring awareness against bullying.  This UK Group goes around to schools and does lectures to help get the message out. So all that they do costs money and this book was made to help raise funds for Brave The Bullies Together and to help Emily get her message out.
