British Sci-Fi/Fantasy Shows

[Randy Giles]

I'm trying to get together a list of current and upcoming British series that are mainly sci-fi/fantasy/horror (so I can watch em all) but there's no place really where I can go to find lists, like you can with The Futon Critic. Here are the ones I know of:

Doctor Who
Torchwood
Jekyll
Primeval (It looks horrible though.)

And actually that's all. I'd also would like shows similar to "Robin Hood" or maybe "Skins".

Does anyone know of some upcoming genre shows from the UK, or add to this small list?

I really wish the UK would churn out some cool horror-themed shows, I think a lot could be done since UK dramas don't keep their characters as safe as we do over here. (But alas, it seems like horror-themed television will never be regularly produced, in any country. Too bad.)

I think Afterlife is supernatural. I could only get a chunk of one though, so I can't say for sure.

I know you don't like old stuff, but you should try Sapphire and Steele. I think it might be your kind of thing. It's spooky.

If you don't mind mini-series there's The Hogfather, and think maybe The Ruby in the Smoke is kind of genre-ish.

I just thought of two I've been wanting to see...Strange and Sea of Souls.

I cannot find either ANYWHERE in English! ANYWHERE! If anyone has *any* clue as to where I can get them (in English) please inform me.

I forgot Afterlife, it's basically Medium, except darker. It's good. I'm trying to get The Hogfather right now.

Thanks. 🙂
