Intro
Why were the (typically 1970s style) series so successful? Although
produced as low-budget programmes, the credibility relied up the viewer
having the imagination to believe that such things were entirely
plausible, if only in the future. The characters and storylines were
carefully developed over the weeks to build the anticipation, hope, and
fear which could not otherwise have been created in a single episode.
Terry Nation was the creative writer responsible for many of
the cult Sci-Fi series of the 1970s...
The Daleks in Doctor Who, Survivors, and Blakes 7.
