The forgotten science fiction selection series that adapted the best stories of Isaac Asimov

Irene -BBC horror anthology, “unknown”, is no less than the pioneer. The series, which lasted from 1965 to 1971, celebrates science fiction as a kind during the embrace of humanity in the stories that arouse awe or terrorism on a large scale. The creator of the chain Shubic understood that a few species can provide a comment on topical issues such as science fiction, so that the most exotic conspiracies can serve as symbolic for something more urgent and immediate. Moreover, our relationship with technology is always on the threshold of change – a “unknown” topic that picks up through the alternate between tight drama and fun sarcasm, which was brought with stories written by some of the best literary authors from the twentieth century.

Everyone from Ray Bradbury to Em Forster contributed to the BBC series, with the highlights of the different science fiction angles that help us to better understand human impulses than ever. The list of literary talents also includes the such as John Wendham and Ji J. Palar, but this type does not include its lack of completion without Isaac Asimov, which takes Oeuvre A historical approach to science fiction (while mixing it with the elements of ambiguity and imagination). Some of the best ASIMOV stories are included in “Out of the Unknown”, where the series benefits from ASIMOV for the decline in complex flowers and presented in clear and direct prose. There is a feeling of ease in translation from text to screen, as the world of Asimov rarely indulge in unknown abstracts, even when they move towards fictional developments from a global building perspective.

As it may be already familiar, the most influential Asimov works are the “basic” novel, which has been incorrectly adapted, including The latest Apple TV+ series (which is worthy of praise to capture its wide range and nuances). Although the BBC program does not derive from “Foundation”, it highlights a large number of titles that have been ignored of the type that deserves to be verified. Let’s take a closer look at these episodes that focus on ASIMOV.

Some episodes in the series have adapted entire novels, such as the movie “The Dleed Sun”, which is the WHODUNIT, which merges science fiction at the most technical level to explore the complex social customs of the hostile planet, Solaria. The killing investigator Elijah Billy (Paul Maxwell) directs events after having passed with a human robot R. Daniel Olivo (David Kulings), and the second legitimizes a tense adventure to protect the Earth from threats between galaxies. Unfortunately, this particular episode is now lost, due to the usual practice (at that time) from the BBC wiping their tapes after broadcasting. However, you can Still Watch some of them, thanks to the re -built DVD version, combines the remaining shots with CGI to re -create this precious artistic piece lost until time.

The fact that most of the unknown “Out of the” episodes have suffered from a similar fate, which is a trauma, as its legacy can only be corrected with the help of the shots outside the context and media criticism that managed to survive. Even these incomplete excerpts are a testimony on the ambitious nature of the exhibition, and highlights the enthusiasm of Shopik to put tales of the basic type on the small screen. For example, ASIMOV’s short story adaptations have survived in parts – for example, The story of the Busturia robot “liar!” And like the human robot “guaranteed satisfaction” Only in artistic elements and audio extracts.

This is also the case with Noblela Asimov “SUCKER Bait”, which explores the risks of specialized scientific knowledge that can lead to positions full of two -boundary ethics. Some topics in early 1954, the novel shook the official ASIMOV ethics, encouraging his tendency to write science fiction stories that were within the reach of the prevailing direction. This does not mean that his stories are free of complexity. On the contrary, ASIMOV is kept in this tall for its ability to simplify complex concepts, allowing anyone who has an interest in this type to develop an estimate of the worlds far from ourselves (while also drawing similarities at a metaphor).

Not every story (ASIMOV or other) in “Out of the Unknown” is unusual, but all that can be obtained from the tablets that were rebuilt is the installation, because these broken stories have a way to attract curiosity to the unknown. Even if you are not able to get these episodes, I encourage you to search for more Asimov’s short stories (especially “The Dead Past”, his only semi -biographical story) if you want to try a wide range of the topics of type that science fiction can accommodate.
