This book explores science fiction television in the 1970s and 80s, analysing the changes under neoliberalism and the rise of Thatcherism. -- .
British science fiction television of the 1970s and 1980s is full of Machiavellian protagonists and fatalistic endings. It presents a complex world of moral and ethical dilemmas, appropriate to the emerging political landscape of Thatcherite Britain. This book analyses the science fiction series of the period including Blakes 7, Doctor Who and Sapphire & Steel alongside Britains transition from social-democracy to neoliberal economics and the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. It examines the abrupt shifts in themes and tone that these series often exhibit compared to their predecessors, highlighting comparisons to the similarly abrupt change in Britains political landscape.
