From virulent plastic-eating viruses to computer data collection/profiling nightmares, and from Intelligent, human flesh-eating rats to American age-discrimination business management practices, come join the fun and watch as Doomwatch watches the world unravel.

Doomwatch was a British science fiction TV series (1970–1972) about a secretive government team that investigated the unintended and often terrifying consequences of advanced science and technology on the environment and society. The stories focused on (then) contemporary issues such as pollution, genetic engineering, and industrial malpractice. While often very dated in its societal attitudes, time has shown to to be often almost prescient in its warnings for the future.

Although many episodes of Doomwatch were destroyed by the great BBC videotape purge of the 1970s, from 2011 to 2020, Fusion Patrol reviewed all extant episodes and movies.

While the audio wasn’t always the best on our original episodes, they’re been restored to bring out the best quality we can from the limited-quality masters, and now have their own podcast feed. You can check out the episodes directly on our Doomwatch Page or you can subscribe in Apple Podcasts right here: Doomwatch – Fusion Patrol Reviews.

In the latest Fusion Patrol we’re back to looking at 90s techno-thriller Bugs, kicking off season 3 (and its radical changes) with “Blaze of Glory”. We discuss what kind of government department builds a ridiculous deadly weapons store under London, whether secret agents ever genuinely expect that “when they’re out, they’re out,” and fictional spies becoming legends in their own fictional universe.

Time for a final chat about 90s timey-crimey series “Crime Traveller”. Eugene & I discuss why you can’t go back in time to before you went back in time, and the hidden messages which prove the whole thing takes place in an alternate reality. #FusionPatrol #CrimeTraveller #TheBrokenCrystal

On our latest Fusion Patrol discussion of 90s police sci-fi mashup Crime Traveller, Eugene and I discuss whether time is a sentient trickster, the ramifications of time travel for gambling laws, and we reminisce about the era of fax machines (when mobile phones were as common as jacuzzis) #CrimeTraveller #TheLotteryExperiment #FusionPatrol https://fusionpatrol.com/2023/06/03/633-crime-traveller-the-lottery-experiment/

Starting this week and for the next 6 weeks we're dipping WAY BACK into our #FusionPatrol back catalog with a re-release of our coverage of the classic sci-fi series Sapphire & Steel.

Originally released in 2010, at the beginning of our podcast, before we knew how to get the technical stuff "right,” - these re-releases have been digitally restored and augmented so that they don't sound quite so "2010 Sykpe.”

First up, Adventure 1, AKA Escape Through a Crack in Time.

‘Simon and Eugene discuss the “Big Lie” in fiction, the Oscar-winning music of Anne Dudley, the difference in train length between the UK and the US, and how foreknowledge might affect your behavior in a time paradox.’

The last Doctor Who 'The Collection' release (season 2) included a reconstructed version of the season's one missing story 'The Crusade'. We've discussed all the animations and recons on Fusion Patrol - so of course we had to chat about this!

New episode of the Fusion Patrol podcast just out - our discussion of the 2-part finalé of series 2 of the fondly-forgotten 90s techno-thriller “Bugs”!

While that’s our last “Bugs” for a while we’ll be adding another show to our rotation in the interim - so get ready for some policing and paradoxes… And we’ll be back to looking at “Bugs” with series 3 later in 2023.

Somehow I’d previously missed seeing H.G. Wells’ Things to Come (1936) but rectified that this week, and had an enjoyable talk about it with @johnkit last night for an upcoming episode of the #FusionPatrol #Podcast.

That film is both a classic and curio of an age gone by. #SciFi #SciFiClassic

Beautiful #Criterion #BluRay release, too.
