    Abstract:
    This essay aims to look at how invasion narratives, stories concerned with the invasion of Britain from outside, shaped three British science fiction series, and how those series interrogated the narratives. The series will primarily be examined through aesthetic and social approaches. Particular areas to be explored include the embracing and subverting of common assumptions about Britain’s attitude to invasion, and the differing attitudes to the military displayed.
    Notes:
    My extended essay from my film course in 2009, with which I am quite pleased.
