Hi – I work for Tiger Aspect Productions, a major UK based TV Production Company. I’m currently developing a new series which examines the personal impact that sci-fi has had on inspired fans. We will aim to examine the science, design and whole philosophy behind 6 shows or movies, as a background to how these have changed the lives of individuals. If you, or somebody you know or have heard of, were inspired to become a scientist because of a particular show or invent a piece of technology inspired by something seen in any movie or show, from Stargate, Thunderbirds and Dr Who right through to James Bond or the Matrix Trilogy, then I’d love to hear from you.
