Pretty good HG Wells biog, but it doesn't really deal with his science-fiction, only his political views.

A tribute to H G Wells. Never seen it, but it has Jonathan Ross and Roy Hattersley on it, so make up your own mind on that one.

Tuesday 14 November
7.10pm Adam Adamant Lives! - A Vintage Year for Scoundrels
The first episode, in which Edwardian adventurer Adam Adamant gets frozen in a block of ice and re-awakens in 1960s London. Quite good, but they're all the same after that. Available on DVD.

8.30pm The Cult of… Adam Adamant Lives! (repeated 12.25am, 3.25am and Thursday at 10pm)
The first in a series looking at classic “cult” TV programmes starts with Adam Adamant Lives! Despite the title, it doesn't look like it's going to be focusing on fans, but will instead talk to the show's makers. Contributions from Gerald Harper, Juliet Harmer, writer Brian Clemens, director Moira Armstrong and producer Verity Lambert. One to tune in for.

Excellent documentary on the late Nigel Kneale, creator of Bernard Quatermass and many other seminal works. Worth watching if you have any interest in TV history. Available on DVD.

Tuesday 21st November
7.10pm Doomwatch - Tomorrow, the Rat
One of the best 70s sci-fi shows, Doomwatch concerned a watchdog group that monitors scientific and technological developments. The colour schemes will probably burn your retinas out though, and this isn't the best episode at all, but the concepts are pretty frightening. Tune in to get a slight idea what it was about. Available on DVD.

8.30pm The Cult Of… Doomwatch (repeated 1.35am and 3.35am)
Second in the series of shows looking at the making of classic sci-fi dramas. Contributions from Robert Powell, Simon Oates, Jean Trend, writer Martin Worth and directors Pennant Roberts and Jonathan Alwyn. Woo hoo!

9pm Mark Lawson Talks to Terry Pratchett (repeated 2.35am)
Mark Lawson interviews the famous fantasy author. I actually met a bloke on Monday who had interviewed Pratchett at his home. Pratchett was asleep when he called round, so came to the door in his dressing gown. And his hat. Never takes that hat off ever.

10pm The Crow Road (parts 3 & 4)
The rest of The Crow Road from last week.

And that's where the listings run out, I'm afraid. The Martians and Us is a three-parter so I'm guessing that's going to conclude on Monday 27th; The Cult Of… is supposed to run to six episodes, presumably every Tuesday; The Day of the Triffids is a six-part adaptation, so will probably continue to run on Mondays; Random Quest, a new adaptation of a John Wyndham short story is going to be on Monday 27th; Doctor Who's cracking Tom Baker story, The Ark in Space, is going to start on Monday 27th as well, although that's to be confirmed; and How To Be Sci-Fi, featuring Nigel Planer as Nicholas Craig, will give tips on acting in science fiction television. I'll update you next week when I have some more info.
