A detailed look at the British world of science fiction in the 1950s. John Wade grew up in the 1950s, a decade that has since been dubbed the ';golden age of science fiction.' It was a wonderful decade for the genre, but not so great for young fans. With early television broadcasts being advertised for the first time as ';unsuitable for children' and the inescapable barrier of the ';X' certificate in the cinema barring anyone under the age of sixteen, the author had only the radio to fall back onand that turned out to be more fertile for the budding SF fan than might otherwise have been thought. Which is probably why, as he grew older, rediscovering those old TV broadcasts and films that had been out of bounds when he was a kid took on a lure that soon became an obsession. For him, the super-accuracy and amazing technical quality of today's science fiction films pale into insignificance beside the radio, early TV and B-picture films about people who built rockets in their back gardens and flew them to lost planets, or tales of aliens who wanted to take over, if not our entire world, then at least our bodies. This book is a personal account of John Wade's fascination with the genre across all the entertainment media in which it appearedthe sort of stuff he reveled in as a young boyand still enjoys today. ';Not only a wellresearched book grounded in hundreds of sources, but also an unmistakable labor of love.' New York Journal of Books
