Think science fiction and the cliches immediately spring to mind. Geeks boldly going to all-night Star Trek marathon quoting stellar lines such as ‘Beam me up Scotty’. Or perhaps the first thought is something a bit more cerebral – the director’s cut of Blade Runner – widely regarded as the best Sci Fi movie ever.

You may love or loathe the genre, and the stereotypes can be hard to shake, but there is no shortage of die-hard aficionados who will be lapping up every minute of Sci-Fi London4, the 4th London International Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film. And it’s all happening right now, through to the weekend.

About the Author

Judi Jagger is a freelance writer who lives on 15 acres of rural isolation overlooking an island. She loves how the Internet can bring the world to her. When she does venture out, it is to the theatre and cinema and to visit galleries and bookshops. In a previous life she has been a teacher, a librarian, a cleaner (very, very briefly) and a hospital admissions clerk. The nicest thing anyone has told her was that she was “educated, not domesticated”. It was meant disparagingly. She will get round to putting it on a T-shirt one day.
