Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) . In my mind, philip k dick was 1 of the best sci-fi writers of all time. many films and tv plays have been adapted/inspired by his works : Blade Runner, Total recall, Minority Report, a scanner darkly, The Man in the High Castle, The Adjustment Bureau, pus many others
Now channel 4 have created a series of 10 episodes inspired by the short stories of philip k dick.
"Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams is a sci-fi anthology series of ten epic, ambitious and moving standalone episodes, each set in a different and unique world – some which lie in the far reaches of the universe and time and others which are much, much closer to home. While the stories may be worlds apart, central to each is the poignant and warm exploration of the importance and significance of humanity.
Each episode is inspired by one of Philip K. Dick’s renowned shorts stories and has been adapted by an exciting list of leading British and American writers and directors. The series also features an all-star roster of cast who head up this thrilling, audacious and emotional journey into the far reaches of imagination."

Me and the missis are quite looking forward to this, seems our current bunch of TV series have come to an end recently, so this comes in the nick of time!
