Welcome to 'The Science Fiction and Telefantasy Databanks' at CliveBanks.co.uk!
My aim is to make this a comprehensive guide to the best cult science fiction and fantasy programmes broadcast on television. Each series I cover features a time-line, episode guide, story synopses, cast lists, notes, and much more!
Please bear in mind that this site is a work in progress; feedback is greatly appreciated, so tell me what you think of the site and what you'd like to see here. If there are any inaccuracies, omissions, or other errors, I will gladly accept comments and amendments. I am also interested in any submissions for inclusion on the site, so feel free to email me.
The site is constantly updated, and I'm adding more info and guides all the time, so please add it to your favorites and come back again soon!

Important notice:
Due to the increasing popularity of my website – which is now getting between 55,000 - 64,000 visits a month, and achieving a whopping hit rate of over 1,000,000 hits! – my bandwidth has now gone through the roof! In order to pay for the maintenance costs, which come out of my own pocket, I’ve decided to become an associate of Amazon; this means that if you click on the Amazon banner at the bottom of this and many other pages on the site, and then decide to buy some goodies from them, the small referral fee that I’ll get will go towards the costs of running my site. Not only will this help to keep the website going, but it’ll also provide a handy way to help all those visitors who ask me where they can buy their favourite shows to watch! So go on, get buying – it all helps! Cheers! - Clive
