Book excerpt: Written by international experts from a range of disciplines, these essays examine the uniquely British contribution to science fiction film and television.

Essay topics include Hammer science fiction films, the various incarnations of Doctor Who, Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, and such 21st-century productions as 28 Days Later and Torchwood.
