Sometimes a film isn’t interesting because it predicts the future. Sometimes it’s interesting because it accidentally tells the truth about the present. That’s where I ended up with Equilibrium. New essay. Tonight. 19:00 (UK).

I’ve been away from YouTube since May, but The Decline and Fall of British Sci-Fi is finally returning. Coming soon: Equilibrium — a film built like an early-2000s video game, where emotion is outlawed and violence becomes choreography. Naturally, I have thoughts.

I snagged myself a viper!!!

Slight detour over on The Venuzian Jungles soon. I’ve been staring at The Amazing Digital Circus until it started looking psychologically suspicious. My read: it isn’t just about being trapped online. It’s about being flattened into a version of yourself the machine can process. Coming soon.

Went to Comic Con. Met a Dalek. Somehow remained unexterminated. Good day, really. #MCMComicCon #MCMComicConLondon #LondonComicCon #DoctorWho #Daleks #BritishSciFi

Coming soon: Aliens isn’t really about war. It’s about failed authority, a broken home-space, and going back into the dark to bring something vulnerable out alive. That’s the next video.

New video coming soon: FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956). It looks like a fun space adventure… but it’s basically a warning label for civilisation. Soon. 🛸 #ClassicSciFi #BritishSciFi

The channel’s 3 years old today. Still going strong. Still a small channel, still obsessed with old sci-fi, still not normal. Still the same old insane cockney hooligan with the hardest-working gob in the galaxy. Favourite video so far? #ClassicSciFi #BritishSciFi

Ghostbusters II was never about the slime. It was about belief, burnout, and the moment the 1980s finally gave up the ghost. My Halloween special premieres at 5PM (UK) — a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood sequels ever made. Come for the ghosts. Stay for the existential crisis.

🚀 Thunderbirds are 60. Tomorrow at 18:15 we’re taking Zero X off the runway. Puppets. Rockets. Explosions. And maybe… one of the most underrated British sci-fi films of the 60s. 👀 You might be surprised how good this one really is. #Thunderbirds #Thunderbirds60 #BritishScifi

Let’s not forget the Merkur XR4Ti cameo. For years I thought that was a Sierra Cosworth.

Recording tonight: my RoboCop deep dive. It’s about PTSD, trauma, and what it really means to piece yourself back together after being shattered. #RoboCop #SciFi #FilmAnalysis

🟥 TOTAL RECALL drops Thursday. Not what you think. Or maybe it is. That’s the test. Bold take. Big brain. One confused cockney hooligan. #TotalRecall #PaulVerhoeven #SciFiAnalysis #YouTube

Short one this week. But sometimes, the shorter it is, the sharper the blade. This isn’t just about monsters in domes or soldiers with blank stares—this is about what we let happen in the name of necessity. Quatermass II is hard to interpret. That’s the point. New video out Thursday 1900uk

A 1980 kids’ show on ITV. A father builds a fortress. A biker feeds the hungry. The system breaks. Noah’s Castle is a civilisation collapsing in slow motion. Video drops Thursday, 19:00 BST. @Britishscifi #NoahsCastle #BritishTV #SciFiHistory #UKDystopia

The Toxic Avenger is almost here to wreck your timeline! This ain’t your mum’s superhero flick — it’s 80s splatterpunk at its finest. Full deep dive coming soon on The Decline and Fall of British Sci-Fi! Stay toxic, rebels. #ToxicAvenger #MutantMayhem #CultSciFi #SciFiRebels

My only issue with NAD is its clinical sound compared to my need for something a bit punchy up in the mid to high range. Am seriously considering one of these pared with a pair of ditton 44’s.
