OK, as promised, here it is. Bear with me, as this took a hell of a lot
longer than I thought, and to date it's only up to next Wednesday. Also,
the style changes as it goes on, i.e. there's a lot of detail early on
which fades out to one-liners later on.
I'll try to sort out the format over the next few weeks, but hopefully
this will help for now.
Anything marked with ***** is my personal choice for excellent TV,
anything marked with 4SF means that this programme is part of the
Channel 4 Sci-Fi weekend, and as this is covered in depth in another
post here gives no further info.
I haven't included any of the pay channels; if anyone wants me to
I'll think about it.
