From "Emergency Ward 10" to "ER" and "Quatermass" to the "X Files", cult television programmes have held viewers in their thrall for 40 years. In the '90s, satellite broadcasters have fuelled viewers' hunger for cult shows, while the terrestrial stations have muscled in with timewarp re-runs and new classics. Shows that a few years ago could only be played in the memory are back to entertain new audiences as well as those who remember their first time on air. This guide provides comprehensive information on favourite cult shows, covering 325 TV programmes. The authors outline each show from conception to execution, with cast lists plus little-known facts and anecdotes. Video availabilty is noted, the book is comprehensively indexed and cross-referenced, and over 75 stills help bring memories to life.
