Considering what we know about some of the higher ups at the Beeb at the time, it doesn't surprise me they thought a sci-fi show with 'Soup' in the title was a brilliant idea. No wonder they needed Syd to give them a kick up the backside. |

No wonder they needed Syd to give them a kick up the backside. Emerald Soup was a ITV show While some of the higher ups at the Beeb had already proven to be smart enough to greenlight and produce landmark sci-fi like the Quatermass serials and A For Andromeda well before Doctor Who was dreamt up. So they certainly didn't all need a kick up the whatsit anway.  There would be more examples if not for the wipings. The Big Pull in 1962 was by all accounts very accomplished sci-fi but none of it survives, to name one. If we had some of the live teleplays recovered, I think a lot of thinking of 50s TV would be revised. |

Although, in fairness, the BBC did Soup and sci-fi with The Clangers.
