Once Upon A Time In Space: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
The gripping story of how mankind reached space, and where we're going next
Year: 2025
Certificate: 12
From the makers of Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland and the BAFTA-winning Once Upon A Time In Iraq, this four-part series tells the human stories behind our quest to explore space. Like the two earlier series, it makes a big story deeply personal, revealing how individuals played their part in the space race and how it shaped their lives and those of their families.
It also places the key events firmly within their social history, exploring attitudes towards the female and African-American astronauts who were part of NASA's shuttle programme (in episode one), the deep bond formed between American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts (episode two) and the establishment of the International Space Station that followed (episode three), as well as the souring of that collaboration after the invasion of Ukraine (episode four).
It's a fascinating, multi-faceted look at mankind's final frontier as space exploration approaches a new age and more and more civilians (aka space tourists) make their way into orbit. (Four episodes)
