Telly Visions (episode 29 of the podcast)

In our last episode, we started discussing our favourite bits of science fiction TV - but feeling pushed for time, we only got halfway through our respective top tens. So this time, we continue the discussion. Will Phil's top ten go beyond the 1970s? What will be Colin's favourite SF TV show of all time? Join us and find out!

Also in this episode, we have a diabolical, science fictional food quiz send in by one of our listeners.

And, of course, we have our traditional run through of past, present and future science fiction.

Among the items mentioned in this episode:

• Babylon 5 - animated movie
• Elizabeth Bear on influences on/within the science fiction genre
• 1982: The Greatest Geek Year Ever - documentary
• Omni magazine' s SF table of elements from May 1981 (reproduced below)
• Arguably the earliest fungus in the history of science fiction
• Introducing the virtual tour of the Starship(s) Enterprise
• Pittsburgh's Carnegie Science Center and its inspiring Mars exhibit
