before returning home to London where she joined ABC Television as a story editor
on the anthology series Armchair Theatre under producer Sydney Newman
in 1960. A science fiction fan since college, Shubik approached Newman during the summer of 1961 with the notion of making a science fiction version of Armchair Theatre, similar to the Armchair Mystery Theatre spin-off that specialised in crime and mystery stories. Shubik had already commissioned several science fiction tinged scripts for Armchair Theatre such as “The Omega Mystery” and “The Ship That Couldn't Stop”. However, the production that acted as a template for what would become Out of This World was “Murder Club”, an adaptation of Robert Sheckley
’s short story The Seventh Victim, starring Richard Briers
, that aired under the Armchair Theatre banner on 3 December 1961. Also around this time the BBC had scored a notable hit with the science fiction thriller A for Andromeda
.
, was assigned to produce. Leonard found Out of This World a welcome antidote to The Avengers, which had proved a difficult production; he recalled, “It was a great pleasure to make, getting away from today and exploring the unrealities (or so we thought) of tomorrow. An opportunity for the suspension of disbelief even in the here and now ambiance of television”. The budget for each episode averaged £5,000.
Shubik soon ran into difficulties finding material suitable for adaptation, a problem that had plagued earlier aborted attempts to get a similar series off the ground. A useful contact Shubik made was with John Carnell
, a key figure in British science fiction, founder of the magazine New Worlds
and agent for many British science fiction writers. Carnell assisted Shubik in selecting material and put her in contact with writers and publishers. Carnell also promoted the series heavily in New Worlds, giving it the cover of the July 1962 edition. When a strike
by actor's union Equity
hit production of Armchair Theatre, it bought Shubik the extra time she needed to find sufficient scripts. All but two episodes were adaptations of short stories and novels. Shubik took the name Out of This World from a series of anthology collections edited by Amabel Williams-Ellis.
The actor Boris Karloff, well known for his association with the horror film
genre, was chosen as host for the new series. This was an idea taken from such U.S. anthology series as The Twilight Zone
, Alfred Hitchcock Presents
and Thriller
(which Karloff himself had hosted) and was in line with what had been done for Armchair Mystery Theatre, which was introduced by Donald Pleasence
.
Three scripts for Out of This World, adaptations of Philip K. Dick's "Impostor
" and Clifford D. Simak's "Immigrant" as well as an original story called "Botany Bay", were supplied by Terry Nation
. These scripts were Nation's first professional foray into the genre for which he would become best known; he would later go on to create the popular Dalek
monsters for the science fiction series Doctor Who
as well as his own science fiction television series Survivors
and Blake's 7
.
’s short story Dumb Martian was originally intended to launch the series. However, Sydney Newman elected to broadcast the story as part of Armchair Theatre the week before Out of This World made its debut. The play ended with an epilogue by Boris Karloff introducing and previewing the new spin-off series.
The first episode, “The Yellow Pill”, attracted 11 million viewers, placing Out of This World eleventh in the television ratings for that week and beating the popular police drama series Z-Cars
.
Critical reaction to Out of This World was, on the whole, positive: Kinematograph Weekly commented that the series was “the most intelligent and best written of its genre since Quatermass
” while The Times
said, “in general the level of writing and direction has been encouragingly high [...] Out of This World may well help to banish forever the view of the summer as a time when just anything will do”. H. F. Hall, writing in the Yorkshire Evening Post
, described Out of This World as “the most accomplished thing of its kind that TV has yet produced... well schemed scripting and disciplined production”. One viewer who enjoyed the series was Goon Michael Bentine
who sent a telegram to Leonard White conveying “joyous congratulations for wonderful entertainment”.
