"The Invaders speak with a cockney accent!"

For lovers of science fiction: "The Martians and Us", a torrent from the wonderful website, Grey Lodge. It's a three part BBC documentary about the history and evolution of Britain's relationship with the sci-fi genre. I'm about midway through part one, and it's a great balance of high production value and high information content.

It's like a more pleasant Mordor. That's right. I see mountains when I look outside. Neat.
