Bonus Episode - Object Z (1965) – A Forgotten British Science Fiction Adventure

A Special Talking Pictures TV Podcast Bonus Episode

This week, we're offering something a little different on the Talking Pictures TV Podcast, as we venture into the fascinating world of vintage British science fiction.

Regular listeners will know that our very own Gareth is also the man behind Very British Futures, a wonderful podcast dedicated to exploring the rich, occasionally eccentric and often overlooked history of British science fiction television.

Earlier this year, Mel, Daniel and Scott joined Gareth for a thoroughly enjoyable discussion about the television phenomenon that was Thunderbirds. Now it's Sarah's turn to step into the world of Very British Futures, joining Gareth to revisit a largely forgotten curiosity from the 1960s: Object Z.

Once part of Britain's thriving television science fiction landscape, Object Z is one of those intriguing productions that has slipped quietly from public memory. But thanks to Talking Pictures TV, audiences now have an opportunity to discover, or perhaps rediscover, this fascinating piece of television history.

With Object Z returning to our screens as part of the channel's much-loved Saturday Morning Pictures strand, we're delighted to share Gareth and Sarah's conversation as a special bonus episode.

Together, they explore the programme, its place in the history of British television and what makes these vintage science fiction adventures so appealing to audiences more than sixty years later.

Whether you're a lifelong enthusiast of classic British science fiction or simply curious about a programme you may never have encountered before, this is a lovely opportunity to travel back to a time when television imagination could stretch far beyond the limitations of its budget.
