Raktažodžiai:
This book explores science fiction television in the 1970s and 80s, analysing the changes under neoliberalism and the rise of Thatcherism.

British science fiction television of the 1970s and 1980s is full of Machiavellian protagonists and fatalistic endings. It presents a complex world of moral and ethical dilemmas, appropriate to the emerging political landscape of Thatcherite Britain. This book analyses the science fiction series of the period – including Blake’s 7, Doctor Who and Sapphire & Steel – alongside Britain’s transition from social-democracy to neoliberal economics and the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. It examines the abrupt shifts in themes and tone that these series often exhibit compared to their predecessors, highlighting comparisons to the similarly abrupt change in Britain’s political landscape.

Recenzijos

Braithwaite's groundbreaking analysis shows how television science-fiction series of the 1970s and 80s, far from being straightforward celebrations of antiauthoritarianism & personal freedom, were shaped by the tone of Thatcher and the New Right. Jonathan W. Marshall, associate professor and arts critic, Edith Cowan University

A meticulous and rewarding analysis of British television science fiction which traces the collapse of the post-war consensus and the emergence of the neo-liberal regime. Una McCormack, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

Braithwaites brilliant study is highly recommended reading for all cult TV fans and scholars: you may never view late Thatcher-era Doctor Who in quite the same way again! Matt Hills, author of Triumph of a Time Lord and co-editor of Adventures Across Space and Time: A Doctor Who Reader -- .
