Out of the Unknown

Jun 30, 1971
Out of the Unknown est une série télévisée britannique d'anthologie de science-fiction, produite par la BBC et diffusée sur BBC2 en quatre séries entre 1965 et 1971. Chaque épisode est une dramatisation d'une nouvelle de science-fiction. Certaines ont été écrites directement pour la série, mais la plupart étaient des adaptations d'histoires déjà publiées. Les trois premières années étaient exclusivement consacrées à la science-fiction, mais ce genre a été abandonné la dernière année au profit d'histoires d'horreur/fantaisie. Un certain nombre d'épisodes ont été effacés au début des années 1970, comme c'était la procédure habituelle à l'époque. Un grand nombre d'épisodes sont toujours manquants, mais certains réapparaissent de temps en temps ; par exemple, le niveau sept de la série deux, diffusé à l'origine le 27 octobre 1966, a été rendu à la BBC à partir des archives d'un diffuseur européen en janvier 2006.

De retour à Londres, il a imaginé une série entière consacrée exclusivement aux œuvres dramatiques de Shakespeare. Après avoir rencontré de nombreux problèmes pour produire la série, Messina a finalement présenté l'idée aux responsables de la BBC et la série a été approuvée. Dans l'ensemble, la série a reçu des critiques généralement négatives de la part des critiques.
