It's all gone quiet...
So lets start some discussons!
What ever happened to British made SF? All I see is American stuff - which
is heavily doctriced for the American viewers.

Can I mention Iain Banks? Or even, if I must, Terry Pratchett? Or aren't
you talking about books at all?
On the television front, it has been rather quiet, except for Dr Who.
The good Doctor kissing a human? Now that really *was* controversial!
Shame on them!

I've gotta admit - they were the only two I could think of (still producing).
I'm not convinced I care.
I could go through my books, picking out British authors, but I'm not really
bothered who writes the things, just if they're any good.
You want British SF - you write it.
Dominic.
Oh - Storm Constantine? David Gemmel?
These British?
Whatever happened to British Sci-Fi

I'm surprised it took him so long, what with Nyssa and Peri and Ace etc...
What was a shame was that the Master turned into the T-1000 from T2.
But there again the doctor smashing down Metal doors and stealing Motor
Bikes was very much Arnie's Terminator. Maybe it should have been called
T3 instead of Dr Who.
What about NeverWhere ?, That Sci-Fi documentry thing with Gillian Anderson
?
So it's not all bad.
Oh and repeats of UFO.
Or maybe it is...
