Eeesh! Why do sci-fi and fantasy always get lumped together?!

I LOVE good Sci-fi (think John Wyndham, H G Wells etc) but I HATE fantasy (sorry all you Pratchetterians and Tolkienians).

I like things that are grounded in truth and actual possibility. I like things that are about human beings, not elves and orcs and hobbits. I like things that are based on Earth, rather than in imaginary worlds, which just leave me cold.

My favourite books include 'The Midwich Cuckoos' and 'The Secret People' both by Wyndham (although the latter written under a nome du plume). I loved the film 'Contact' which reminded me of a good sci-fi novel and on the TV I love Red Dwarf, Dr Who (only the new stuff though) and Torchwood.
