Out of the Unknown
Out of the Unknown is a British television science fiction anthology drama series, broadcast on BBC2 and produced by the BBC. Each episode was a dramatisation of a science fiction story. Many were adaptations of stories, although some were written directly for the chain.
The first few years were science fiction, but that genre had been left handed at the last year in favour of horror/fantasy stories. A number of episodes were wiped during early 1970s, as was normal procedure in the time. Some do turn up every so often although A large number of episodes are still missing. For instance, Level Six from series two, originally broadcast on 27 October 1966 was returned to the BBC from the archives of a broadcaster at January 2006.
