{"product_id":"time-lords-and-star-cops-philip-braithwaite-9781526187291","title":"Time Lords and Star Cops: British Science Fiction Television in the 1970s-80s","description":"British science fiction television of the 1970s and 1980s is full of Machiavellian protagonists and fatalistic endings. It presents a complex world of moral and ethical dilemmas, appropriate to the emerging political landscape of Thatcherite Britain. This book analyses the science fiction series of the period - including Blake's 7, Doctor Who and Sapphire \u0026amp; Steel - alongside Britain's transition from social-democracy to neoliberal economics and the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. It examines the abrupt shifts in themes and tone that these series often exhibit compared to their predecessors, highlighting comparisons to the similarly abrupt change in Britain's political landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Braithwaite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526187299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526187291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Philip Braithwaite","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459308728575,"sku":"9781526187291","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efbcb565-afbf-467e-9660-58d498213e5e.jpg?v=1777409014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/time-lords-and-star-cops-philip-braithwaite-9781526187291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
