Mmm. Not sure about their overall choice of talking heads. On the one hand,
Jayne Dearsley from SFX countering the image that all sf fans are speccy
twats; on the other, M.J. Simpson, who said some interesting and intelligent
stuff, but was swamped by his delivery. Sigh. Mind you, I've come to the
conclusion that Kim Newman should be in print or on radio, but never on tv
until he gets to a %$£& barber's.
I was disappointed by the lack of "here's what didn't make it into the
top ten" segments that they sometimes include, too.
Anyone got the actual list, for discussion purposes? As I recall:
Space: 1999
The Tomorrow People
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Sapphire and Steel
Blake's 7
Thunderbirds
Red Dwarf
Doctor Who
Star Trek
Um, and one more. Which wasn't the Clangers. Bastards.
