Science Fiction

One of the earliest science fiction movies - Fritz Lang's 1927 masterpiece Metropolis - was made without CGI or the other tricks of modern cinema. Yet it still has the power to astonish.

Since then we have experienced ever more convincing representations of the impossible. Forbidden Planet, Solaris, 2001, Star Wars and Blade Runner - the appetite for fantasy seems endless, and filmmakers have responded with some of the most thrilling and immersive experiences in cinema.

In this episode Mark will explore these brave new worlds and examine the technical tricks and storytelling devices at the heart of the best examples of the genre. And he'll show how, throughout its history, science fiction cinema has tapped deeply into our emotions and abiding preoccupations.

Surrounded by the North Pacific, Port Protection is a remote community tucked into the northwest corner of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. The approximately 100 residents who call the rugged, unforgiving land home push the limits of survival, living an isolated and risky existence of self-reliance with no roads, government or law enforcement.

Yellowjackets
Running

Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

Have I Got News for You
Running

Have I Got News for You

Based on the week's news, Have I Got News for You is fronted by guest hosts and features two regular team captains, Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Each week the show invites two guests to cast a jaundiced eye over the week's news, resulting in a fast flow of anarchic, spontaneous and hugely entertaining wit and humour. Guests typically represent the world of politics, comedy, show-business and journalism, and are often themselves particularly newsworthy participants. The final touches of Have I Got News for You are put together only hours before recording, allowing guests to comment on the late-breaking news stories of the day.
