Parallel Worlds: A User's Guide

Taken from the BBC Four Timeshift documentary series and narrated by Richard Ayoade with contributions from, the perhaps inevitable, Stuart Maconie, author Kim Newman, critic Roz Kaveney and various others this is a playful look at the phenomenon of the parallel world.  

 

Originally screened in 2007 it is somewhat dated by many of it's reference points with the likes of 'Sliders'  - which even at that point was 7 years forgotten by most folks - getting far more mentions than necesssary, as well as 'Buffy', 'Red Dwarf' and 'Futurama'.  It's essentialy a piece of fluff but some interesting points are made and in our current MCU dominated world it's interesting to see how many of the identified tropes have proven to be so resilient.
