Abstract

Nigel Kneale was the most influential science-fiction writer in British television of the twentieth century, as my account seeks to establish. Although his oeuvre has been summarised in biographical encyclopaedias before, this is the first essay to be authored by a Kneale specialist, drawing on a thorough knowledge of his work and contemporaneous science fiction.
