A for Andromeda (1961) was the
BBC's first major adult
science fiction
production since the
three Quatermass
serials of
the 1950s. But unlike its
predecessors, it used the
then new
sciences of computing and
genetics, rather than the
established disciplines
of chemistry and archaeology,
to tell its story of an
alien threat to humanity.
this series starred the, then
unknown, British actress
Julie Christie
the sequel, and every bit as
good as, to A for Andromeda
however the part of Andromeda
is played by the British actress
Susan Hampshire, as the BBC
would not pay the required fee
to retain Julie Christie in the role
a personal journey by
Malcolm Baird. The son of the
inventor of television now has a
website including a few rare
pictures and
a number historical
articles relating to the early
days of British television
these are most definitely not
for children.
