- Synopsis:
Designed as an offshoot of the legendary 'Armchair Theatre', 'Out of This World' was devised by television colossus Sydney Newman (Doctor Who, The Avengers) and Irene Shubik (Out of the Unknown) in 1962. Hosted by veteran actor Boris Karloff, the series presented science fiction at its intelligent best, dramatising stories from the cream of contemporary writers including Isaac Asimov and Philip K Dick. This long-awaited release presents the only surviving episode, an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Little Lost Robot, starring Maxine Audley as the formidable 'robo-psychologist' Susan Calvin. Also included are a newly recorded audio commentary with producer Leonard White, an alternative presentation of Little Lost Robot which has undergone the VidFIRE process to recover the 'studio' look of the original broadcast version, audio recordings of two otherwise lost episodes and a downloadable PDF of the lost episode 'Dumb Martian'. - Actors:
