TV documentary - any scientists inspired by sci-fi?

[Guest tigertim]

Hi – I work for Tiger Aspect Productions, a major UK based TV Production Company. I’m currently developing a new series which examines the personal impact that sci-fi has had on inspired fans. We will aim to examine the science, design and whole philosophy behind 6 shows or movies, as a background to how these have changed the lives of individuals. If you, or somebody you know or have heard of, were inspired to become a scientist because of a particular show or invent a piece of technology inspired by something seen in any movie or show, from Stargate, Thunderbirds and Dr Who right through to James Bond or the Matrix Trilogy, then I’d love to hear from you. You can email me at timsnell@tigeraspect.co.uk or call 020 7434 6830, and feel free to pass the word along anywhere you like!

i think that normally its more than just a movie which makes you decide what you want to be when you are older.

 

it might start out as it'd be cool to be invisible kinda thing - but at the end of the day you need to be good at in and enjoy it to take science through university and beyond.
