BBC4 TV: HG Wells and Me
BBC4 TV: Tuesday 15 March 9.30pm (repeated 0:50am and 3.20am)
Could be interesting and China Miأ©ville might well be worth listening to.
That little piffler, Jonathan Ross, is involved, but no mention of Michael Moorcock, who might just have had something interesting to say on the subject. Are Patrick Moore and 'Lord' Hattersley really counted as part of a "new generation of writers"?
Good Grief! :roll:
Once again I'll have to wait until it's repeated at some sort of ridiculous time on BBC2.

BBC Four pays tribute to the godfather of science fiction.
Years after his death, HG Wells is still as popular as ever; his novels are being republished and Stephen Spielberg is currently making a film version of his most famous novel, The War of the Worlds (set in America, but never mind).
In a BBC Four documentary next week, a new generation of writers, scientists and film-makers, including Jonathan Ross, Lord Hattersley, Patrick Moore and China Miأ©ville, pay tribute to the godfather of science fiction.
