Wiki.
Out of This World is a British science fiction anthology television series made by the ITV franchise ABC Weekend TV for ITV. It was broadcast on ITV in 1962. A spin-off from the Armchair Theatre anthology series, each episode was introduced by the actor Boris Karloff. Many of the episodes were adaptations of stories by science fiction writers including Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick and Clifford D. Simak. The series is described by the British Film Institute as a precursor to the BBC science fiction anthology series Out of the Unknown, which was created and produced by Out of This World creator Irene Shubik after she left ABC.
Only one episode, "Little Lost Robot", exists today and is available on DVD. Two of the missing episodes, "Cold Equations" and "Impostor", have surviving audio soundtracks, which are also available on DVD. The "Cold Equations" soundtrack is complete, but the "Impostor" soundtrack is incomplete and runs at approximately 44 minutes.
