America and Hollywood might feel like the natural home of sci-fi, but Britain has quite the science fiction pedigree of its own.Doctor Who is obviously our great nation's most famous sci-fi export, standing tall amongst the other giants of the genre, but it's far from our only contribution. From television to literature, there is a history of some truly great and groundbreaking science fiction coming from this loose collection of islands.So, make yourself a nice cup of tea and have a seat while we break down the UK’s 10 best science fiction shows of all time (in no particular order).1. Doctor Who
(Image credit: BBC)Release date: November 23, 1963 | Seasons: 41 | Cast: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whittaker, Ncuti Gatwa (& many more)Doctor Who might not be the juggernaut that it once was, but it is one of the longest-running science fiction shows in the world. It's been going (on and off) since 1963, and it has always had something important to teach its audience.From the off, it was a show championing scientific curiosity, kindness, and openness, though the stern tones and prickly demeanour of William Hartnell have since given way to a minimum of 14 different actors playing the same role.While there’s certainly a difference between the original run of television serials and the typically self-contained format of the modern incarnation, the sheer wealth of different stories available means you can find something for everyone.2.
