Visions of the future are obviously the hottest new trend in television drama. There's been Lost, FlashForward and now the BBC's upcoming new sci-fi thriller Paradox.

Produced by Clerkenwell Films for BBC Northern Ireland, the series - to run as five one-hour episodes - stars Tamzin Outhwaite (The Fixer, Hotel Babylon) as Detective Inspector Rebecca Flint, who teams up with scientist Dr Christian King (Emun Elliott) when a series of images are transmitted from space into his laboratory.

Christian, Rebecca and her team, DS Ben Holt (Mark Bonnar) and DC Callum Gada (Chiké Okonkwo), face a race against time as they only have 18 hours to put together the clues and try to prevent tragedy.

BBC looks into future with new Paradox sci-fi series

13 July 2009 4:03 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

If You could see the future, would you change it?

That's the dilemma facing Detective Inspector Rebecca Flint (Tamzin Outhwaite) and astrophysicist Dr Christian King (Emun Elliott).

They team up in the new BBC series Paradox when a series of rogue images are transmitted into King's laboratory from space.

The fragmented images appear to be of a major incident, but suggest it has yet to happen: it's in the future.

Christian, Rebecca and her team, Detective Sergeant Ben Holt (Mark Bonnar) and Detective Constable Callum Gada (Chiké Okonkwo), have just 18 hours to work out the clues and prevent a tragedy.

Paradox, a series of five episodes by Lizzie Mickery, is billed as "an intriguing, high-concept, high-octane, investigative drama, in which the team must not only prevent complex crimes and incidents, but wrestle with the moral and emotional implications of changing the future."

The series is coming this autumn. A transmission »
