- ITV was continuing to produce science fiction in this era. Keen to catch some of the young audience who followed Doctor Who, some of the ITV companies sought to create their own youth-oriented genre programmes, such as the 1970's cult classic sci-fi drama series, Timeslip (1970), and the original The Tomorrow People (1973–79).

- Blake’s 7 (1978 – 1981) Stream on: ITVX (UK); BritBox (UK & US) Probably the first 70s British sci-fi show you think of that doesn’t feature a TARDIS, although it and Doctor Who have always shared some DNA – the show’s creator was Terry Nation, also the creator of the Daleks.
- Space: 1999 (1975 – 1977) Stream on: BritBox (UK); Peacock & Fubo (US) Another series that at first glance ticks all your 70s sci-fi stereotype boxes, with the added hilarity of it now being set a quarter of a century in the past (sorry to everyone who just realised 1999 was a quarter of a century ago).
