Science fiction

Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series that depicts the adventures of an extra-terrestrial and Time lord called the Doctor who travels in a time travelling spaceship called the TARDIS. While travelling, he works to save lives and liberate oppressed peoples by combating foes, often with companions.

During the 1960s, the Doctor was played by William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton. The transition between actors uses the plot device of regeneration into a new incarnation. In 1970, when the show was first made in colour, Jon Pertwee was in the title role. In 1974, he handed over to Tom Baker who, in turn was succeeded by Peter Davison (1981-84), Colin Baker (1984-86), and Sylvester McCoy (1987-89).

The show was cancelled in 1989 but was followed by a TV movie in 1996, and a revised series from 2005.

Joe 90 is a British science fiction television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and filmed by their production company, Century 21, for ITC Entertainment. It follows the exploits of nine-year-old schoolboy Joe McClaine, who becomes a spy after his adoptive father invents a device capable of recording expert knowledge and experience and transferring it to another human brain. Armed with the skills of the world's top academic and military minds, Joe is recruited by the World Intelligence Network (WIN) as its "Most Special Agent".

This was the final Anderson production to be made primarily using Supermarionation, a form of electronic marionette puppetry.

UFO is a British science fiction television series about the covert efforts of an international defence organisation (under the auspices of the United Nations) to prevent an alien invasion of Earth. It was created by Gerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson with Reg Hill, and produced by the Andersons and Lew Grade's Century 21 for Grade's ITC Entertainment company. It was Anderson's first entirely live-action TV series.

A large ensemble cast headed by Ed Bishop as Colonel Straker, the commander-in-chief of SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation), included Michael Billington, Gabrielle Drake, George Sewell, and Wanda Ventham.

Following syndication in the US and initial favourable ratings, a possible second series was planned; initially entitled UFO 1999, this eventually became Space: 1999, but with a different cast from UFO.
