There was a television programme I used to enjoy greatly some years ago – let’s call it sci-fi/ thriller/adventure for want of avoiding the title. I wouldn’t want to upset loyal fans as it’s still being aired. Its main device was the idea of time-and-space travel to alien planets, with lots of action, guns, teleporter rings and zappers of various kinds, peppered with tongue-in-cheek repartee from Lead Character A who openly preferred action over lengthy planning huddles.
