scifi on the BBC? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

davehorne7114 · 11th February 2004, 10:40 AM

I came across a mention in a magazine re a scifi program on British TV (i assume the BBC). This is a relatively new program and deals with traveling to parallel universes. I live in the Netherlands and came across that program by accident.

I have forgotten the name of that program. Is it still being shown? I would appreciate any info ... just the name of that program or a link to another site would be great.

Feel free to contact me privately ... thanks!

I can give a bit more info to help narrow down the show - I read that when the character 'returned' to a parallel universe, the red light in at traffic light meant GO and the green light meant STOP.

This should strike a bell ... thanks,

Possibly Sliders? That used to be shown on BBC2.

Thanks!!! I knew the name of that show was one word and that was it ... Sliders.

Thank you. I'll now take a look at the BBC schedule and see if it it's still on the air.

Thank you, Dave Horne

That was Sliders and the first few Seasons were shown twice on BBC2. It hasn't been shown for a year or so.

I can't remember the American TV studio which originally made it, but they cancelled it at which point the SciFi channel took it up and made a final season. That last season has only been shown on BBC2 once and I missed some of it. It wasn't quite the same anyway, the cast having completely changing by that time.
