“Born of the world’s foremost science fiction imaginations...each week, a specially written hour long play of Tomorrow. Always different. Always compelling.” Out of this World was British TV’s first adult science fiction anthology. Each week, Boris Karloff would introduce a story which brought the works of writers like Issac Asimov and Clifford Simak. Broadcast on ITV and story edited by the legendary Irene Shubik. It only lasted thirteen weeks, but it’s influence would spread across the decade. Sadly only one episode – Little Lost Robot – is known to exist, plus sound recordings of two more episodes. Nevertheless, Gareth Preston, Dylan Rees and Peter Grehen are here to investigate a series which also featured early work by Terry Nation, creator of the Daleks and Blake’s 7. Very British Futures is produced by Gareth Preston and is a Phantom Frame production.
