A Stumble in the Dark: Contextualizing Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Space: 1999
Originalveröffentlichung in: Geppert, Alexander C. T. (Hrsg.): Imagining outer space : European astroculture in the twentieth century. Basingstoke 2012, S. 189-207 10 A Stumble in the Dark: Contextualizing Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Space: 1999 Henry Keazor 'Space: 1999 occupies a unique and not altogether happy position in the Valhalla of televised space adventures. It is the program that Star Trek fans love to hate, even 20 years after its debut. When it is not being ridiculed or attacked, 1999 is often forgotten or overlooked by science fiction historians and television critics, probably because it was a British-made product that never aired on the major American television networks. Perhaps Space: 1999's biggest problem is simply that it appeared at the wrong time. It stands sandwiched between Star Trek (1966-69) and Star Wars (1977), two milestones of the genre,' John Kenneth Muir writes in the introduction to his book Exploring 'Space: 1999,' published in 1997.1 Indeed, Space: 1999 does occupy a 'not altogether happy position' between other TV science fiction series. Although the show earned a certain amount of praise, is still acknowledged by some critics, and continues to enjoy an ever-increasing international fan cult status due to the fact that it was sold to more than 100 coun tries, the series, originally conceived and produced by Gerry (1929) and Sylvia Anderson (193 7), mostly faced severe criticism.2 This was partly directed against the atmosphere of the series, which was accused of being somber, dull and obscure, and partly because of the way the stories were told. -

Peri and the Piscon Paradox Ebook Free Download
PERI AND THE PISCON PARADOX PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Nev Fountain | none | 31 Jan 2011 | Big Finish Productions Ltd | 9781844355051 | English | Maidenhead, United Kingdom Peri and the Piscon Paradox PDF Book I had reasonably high hopes after reading the very connubial mutual interview between author Nev Fountain and star Nicola Bryant in the last Doctor Who Magazine, and even more so after reading Andrew Hickey's very positive and detailed review, and I was not disappointed. We therefore feel that this adventure is best placed after the audio drama Her Final Flight, which saw him encounter a fake Peri. Both of them fare very well and there is the classic mix of humor and action famous in doctor who. Other adventures. Peri and the Fifth Doctor arrive in present day Los Angeles on the trail of a malevolent fish-alien. He can see out of the mouth and his eyes are mostly obscured by cheese wire! The ending twists so many of the jokes throughout the play right around and suddenly stops you laughing and starts you feeling quite down. As the production hurls itself over its emotional crescendo, the many myriad fates of Peri are revealed and reconciled. Soon, it's Peri who spins a tale, an, um, fish tale, to tell Peri and the younger Doctor - because the Sixth Doctor accidentally causes the death of the Piscon Zarl before his younger self can defeat him. While the first half offsets the comedy with some pathos, in Peri's despair at what kind of person she will eventually become, the second half not only adds further humour, but provides a real kicker as the truth of the intervening years is finally revealed.
