Science fiction on television

Science fiction is one of the most eclectic and varied of all the genres of fiction. Such is its appeal that it has been a popular element of television drama since its very beginnings. Science fiction programmes can go anywhere, do anything, and show and tell stories that could not be done in other, more conventional productions.

Other countries television science fiction

Although the US and the UK have produced the bulk of the world's most famous television science-fiction shows, the popularity of the genre insures that just about every country which produced television drama has produced some sci-fi at some point. The Australian / American production Farscape has been a popular hit in recent years, as have other Australian science-fiction productions such as the 1990s' children's serial The Girl from Tomorrow. The quirky sci-fi show Lexx garnered a huge cult following in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and was a German / Canadian co-production. The memorable Raumpatrouille was a German series first broadcast in 1966. Also well remembered in Germany are the movies by Rainer Erler, including the miniseries "Das Blaue Palais".
