Season 1, Episode 2 - “Aliens”
Dominic takes a look at Science Fiction’s fascination with aliens. David Tennant, Steven Moffat, Richard Dreyfuss and Roland Emmerich are among the contributors.

Season 1, Episode 3 - “Robots”
Dominic Sandbrook continues his exploration of the genre by looking at its obsession with robots. The idea of playing God and creating artificial life has fascinated writers since the earliest days of sci-fi. Among the creations he examines are Frankenstein’s monster, Doctor Who’s Cybermen and the time-travelling cyborg of The Terminator, as well as considering the worlds of Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica and The Matrix. Featuring contributions by actors Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner), Peter Weller (RoboCop), Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica) and Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker (C3PO and R2D2 from Star Wars), as well as producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator) and cyberpunk novelist William Gibson

Season 1, Episode 4 - “Time”
Time travel is perhaps one of the most alluring of all science fiction themes. Dominic explores how writers and film-makers have used this theme to embrace the thrill and dangers of meddling with the past and future.
