Are you sci-fi savvey ?

I guessed 7 out of 15 right.

Star Wars is about it for me when it comes to sci-fi.

The quiz happens to be a lot easier if you watched last night's documentary

9/15.

A lot seemed to be about the folk who wrote the books, or made the films, rather than the Science Fiction though.

11/15. I was surprised because I'm not a huge SF fan. I think I knew half and made that up with lucky guesses.

In 30 years you'll come back here and laugh!

Ground hog day is magic, not science fiction. They don't suggest anywhere that what's happening is the result of science, and the fact it keeps repeating until he becomes a better human being suggests a fairy godmother, or sinister Rod-Serling type.

The short film it was based on is a science fiction. And a horror story.

15/15, even though sf literature is really my thing, and I know very little and science fiction TV and fandom and only a bit about film.

As for Groundhog Day, it's a (rather dark) romantic comedy which draws on sf amongst other genres. It's no way as bleak or terrifying as 12:01 PM or Frederik Pohl's much earlier sf short story, 'The Tunnel Under the World', which starts off with a similar premise (man wakes up at exactly the same time on exactly the same day again and again...) but it develops very differently if you haven't read it, you really should, so I won't spoil it for you.

10/15 but strangely no questions about the 'Boys from the Dwarf ' disappointed.
