British science fiction television of the 1970s and 1980s is full
of Machiavellian protagonists and fatalistic endings. It presents a
complex world of moral and ethical dilemmas, appropriate to the
emerging political landscape of Thatcherite Britain. This book
analyses the science fiction series of the period - including
Blake's 7, Doctor Who and Sapphire & Steel - alongside
Britain's transition from social-democracy to neoliberal economics
and the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. It examines the abrupt
shifts in themes and tone that these series often exhibit compared
to their predecessors, highlighting comparisons to the similarly
abrupt change in Britain's political landscape. -- .
