SF memories
As a question to those following: What's your earliest sci fi memory -
book or TV - and what (if anything) can you remember of Doctor Who ?
That's a bit poor, really.
Agreed.she steered me in the direction of John Wyndham.
I've recently been lucking enough to get my hands on an admittedly poorquality copy of the BBC production of Day of the Triffids. Excelent stuff
On TV, the first Who I remember would have been John Pertwee:
something about a machine they were in designed for entertainment.
The Carnival of Monsters from the 72/3 seasonsomething about a machine they were in designed for entertainment.
The first series I remember clearly was something about maggots at the
bottom of a Cornish mine,
Welsh. The Green Death from the same season. The maggots is an oftbottom of a Cornish mine,
quoted who memory.
and the first transformation I saw was at the end of a series full
of giant spiders and blue crystals on Metabelis 3 (?).
Spot on. Pertwee rejeneration from Planet of Spiders in 1974of giant spiders and blue crystals on Metabelis 3 (?).
I also remember a film about Daleks in the Earth's future trying to
destroy the Earth's core.Dalek Invasion of Earth 2164. And probably the showing I recalled
earlier.
The first really *scary* one I remember was something with the Brigadier
in it,with people whose fingers turned into guns. That was definitely a
"behindthe sofa" job. No doubt our resident Who archivists can date these
prehistoricmemories. :-)
Interestingly this predates all the others to 1970 and I think you musthave seen the original screening as it wasn't repeated till relatively
recently.
(all of which I have on tape if you want a loan)
