CURRENTLY NEW ON UK TV
For rants and raves and random thoughts on the worlds of screen sci-fi try the Sci Fi Freak Blog. YOU JUST MISSED 
Welcome to the Sci Fi Freak Site, a site run by fans of science fiction on television and at the movies for fans of science fiction tv and films. There aren't any lists of facts and stats and names here (there are professional sites that can do all that so much better). No, here there are simply our opinions of what we have seen - the good, the bad and downright reprehensible. Over one hundred TV productions and a similar number of films are given honest reviews as and when they appear in the UK and we can get to see them. What we do promise is that every review is what we really think and that we watch every single episode of every single show that we review. And our respect for anyone who gets a sci fi project off the ground is undimmed by the quality of the final product. If you enjoy the site then please sign please sign our |
It's taken More 4 a very long time to bring SAVING GRACE to the UK, but Holly Hunter is back as the most self-destructive cop ever in the hands of her most unconventional guardian angel. 
If God were to send his angels down to Earth then the three best disguises he could pick would be investment bankers, politicians and lawyers. ETERNAL LAW takes the last of these options and tells the story of two angels who fight the good fight in the law courts of York. Flight of fancy or destined to fall? ITV 1 is the place to find the answer. 
LOST GIRL returns to Syfy for a second season of supernaturally powered mysteries and smackdowns. PERSONS UNKNOWN
A group of people wake up to find themselves in a town that isn't real and that they can't escape from. They are under constant surveillance and subjected to tests. Where are they? Who are they? They are PERSONS UNKNOWN. THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES
There's one last chance to say goodbye to Sarah Jane Smith and actress Elisabeth Sladen as CBBC transmits the three stories from season 5 that were completed before her death earlier this year. It is to be hoped that they give her a good send off. TERRA NOVA
The Earth is dying. The atmosphere is nearly unbreathable. Families are restricted to two children to prevent overcrowding. The discovery of a rift in time allows a hardy bunch of time travellers to go back and build a new future in a world populated by dinosaurs. This Steven Spielberg-fronted show comes on a wave of hope and hype. And it has dinosaurs in it. Seriously. What's not to like? MERLIN
The adventures of the youthful wizard in his quest to keep Prince Arthur safe from harm have been getting progressively darker from series to series. The fourth is upon us and we can hope for more of the same. THE SECRET CIRCLE
Following the death of her mother, Cassie Blake learns that she is a witch and that there is a coven that is waiting for her to join THE SECRET CIRCLE. This new teen drama is from the writer of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. 
The shiny new season of FRINGE has arrived on British shores 'only days after the US' and the burning question is how long will it take the team to realise that one of the major cast members has disappeared from time itself? No doubt there'll be plenty of icky stuff before and after that happens. THE FADES
BBC3 brought us the immensely popular (and immensely good) BEING HUMAN, so can lightning strike twice with this latest foray into the supernatural. It involves ghosts, murder, visions and school so it's quite possible. THE SCI FI FREAK SITE PROUDLY LAUNCHES
