Watchshop carried out a survey on 2000 UK sci-fi fans. They wanted to know what their thoughts were around time travel in series/films, here are some of the results…
- The nation’s favourite time travel related series/film is ‘Back to the future’ with 22.25% of the vote, closely followed by ‘Dr Who’ (20.4%)
- With 33.65% of the vote, The Tardis form Dr Who is the UK’s favourite form of time travel. Second favourite was Delorian from Back to the future (29.2%) followed by the Time Turner used in the third Harry Potter film (10.5%)
- The majority (28.9%) of respondents thought that Dr Who would make the best time travel companion. Hermione Granger was the next most popular (12.5%) closely followed by Star Trek’s Spock (12.2%)
- 44.15% of Sci-Fi fans believe that Time Travel is not possible and won’t be in the future
- When asked ‘If time travel was possible, which period of your life would you most likely travel too?’ the majority (39.3%) of people answered with ‘Teenage Years’
- Unlike popular cult movies, Star Wars has never featured time travel. Our results show that 47.45% of Sci-Fi fans do not think that it should be added into the storyline of the upcoming Star Wars 7 film. 32.1% said that they ‘don’t know’ and 20.45% thought that it should be added into the storyline
