Golden Age Telefantasy Guide To The Sf Fantasy & Horror 40 S & 50 S

"In the early 1950s, television was in its infancy. In the U.S., outer space adventure series such as Captain Video and His Video Rangers, Space Patrol, and Tom Corbett Space Cadet entertained young baby boomers, while adults enjoyed series such as Tales of Tomorrow and Lights Out. In the United Kingdom, The Quatermass Experiment set the standard for television science fiction for decades to come. Many of these programmes have been lost to the ages never to be seen again, while others such as Adventures of Superman and Science Fiction Theatre can easily be found on DVD. Here, in one volume, are all the available details on these and other science fiction, fantasy and horror series and serials from the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. A total of 48 programmes are covered with a series overview, cast, and episode details with a synopsis, guest cast, date of broadcast, and writer and director credits. Illustrated with over 300 photographs, many that have not been seen in print for more than 60 years."
