The Infinite Worlds of H.G. Wells
Overview
The Infinite Worlds of H. G. Wells is a six-part 2001 television miniseries conceived by Nick Willing and broadcast on the Hallmark Channel. Each episode adapts — and sometimes quite radically alters — a short story written by Wells: The New Accelerator, The Queer Story of Brownlow's Newspaper, The Crystal Egg, The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes, The Truth About Pyecraft and The Stolen Bacillus. Each is presented as if it were a 'real' incident that Wells had investigated with his girlfriend, Jane Robbins, and as if it had served as an inspiration for a short story. The flashbacks are to 1893 within the 1946 frame story, near the end of Wells's life, when he is interviewed by a secret military research institute interested in his past exploits.
This production, originally released in 2001, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Miniseries series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Mystery, Drama genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 7.0 across its 1 season.
