Britain doesn't just do costume dramas and kitchen sink realism β we've been quietly producing some of the weirdest, boldest sci-fi telly on the planet. Time to settle it: which show genuinely rewired your brain?
Put the items in your preferred order.

Doctor Who
From Tom Baker's scarf to Ncuti Gatwick's swagger, six decades of regeneration have divided fans as much as united them. Love it or loathe it, it's the backbone of British sci-fi.

Black Mirror
Every episode makes you side-eye your phone for a week. Whether it peaked with the Channel 4 episodes or got even sharper on Netflix is a debate that ends friendships.

Red Dwarf
A slob, a hologram, a cat-man and a neurotic droid drifting through space. Somehow the cheap sets and dodgy CGI only made it more lovable.

Utopia
Bright yellow, brutally violent and terrifyingly prescient about pandemics. Cancelled far too soon and still whispered about by people who know.

Misfits
Nathan's monologues, orange jumpsuits, and community service gone cosmic. Grimy, filthy, and more honest about being young in Britain than any Marvel film managed.
