Julian Sparrow: Sci-Fi At Christmas (1982-88)

Ben Baker's Christmas Box

Welcome to an out of this world window into seasonally-sprinkled TV past. Broadcaster and all round enthusiast Julian Sparrow talks about the excitement of getting to see sci-fi blockbusters at Christmastime with a runthrough all the biggest ones to appear on the 25th itself including Disney's much maligned "The Black Hole", "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Back To The Future". Plus the joys of living on a small island, inappropriate youth reading and Duran Duran's place in the wider Star Wars canon.
