Great program 😊

Today

As they do that tomorrow,I did something yesterday,

What I did , I've done today so IAM steps ahead, before the tomorrow people,

IAM a yesterday people, not a tomorrow people, as said, I'll think about that today, not tomorrow.

This appeared on my recommended videos nearly (by one day) after Phil's passing 20 years ago. I had worked with Phil Gilbert and his life partner at their theatre in Farnborough, 'The Prince Regent'. My friend and I took him to the Big Finish studios when they bought back the audio plays. The Big Finish studios 20 years ago were definitely smaller on the inside! I also went to Phil's funeral, where Nick Young took the Eulogy. Phil would have loved that review. Thank you. Also he would have been bemused over the fact that his character influenced technology! (Tim being the first talking computer, which the concept was taken by Blakes 7, Babylon 5 and Star Trek - and Amazon developers wanted one, and created Alexa!) Thanks again for the review for an old friend! It was pleasure to watch.

Ok long post but here goes Under certain circumstances the colour can be recovered, if it was copied as as telerecording (kinescope in North America) by simply pointing a synchronization film camera at a TV monitor then occasionally the techniciana may have left the colour signal active, as the telerecordings were always black and white they should have turned off the colour signal because that caused a small interference pattern caused by the chromodots in signal intended for the colour dots on the colour TV screen, often they didn't turn that signal off and the chomodots remain visible and since all TVs had the same colour dots on the same place on their screen, it is possible to work out the colour of each dot and recover the colour signal, this has been done with Dr Who episodes, Dads Army and Morecambe and Wise shows

I watched this a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I listen to the podcast series British Invaders which discusses British sci-fi TV series which featured the show. Highly recommend the podcast.

I watched the series a couple of years ago on DVD. I did find it a little difficult to follow and confusing with the interweaving of the Welsh legends. I think it would be helpful if you’re familiar with the legends prior to watching the show or to at least have read the book on which it is based.

I seem to recall watching this later than '87 on Channel 4. Maybe they repeated it again?

I remember this well. I'd read the book, but like many in my part of Wales knew the story of Blodeuwedd from the Mabinogion on which this is based. I was too young to completely take in some of the story, but remember enjoying it. I suppose if they made it today it would be aimed at the 'Young Adult' market and be heavy on the FX. Incidentally it was filmed around Llanymawddwy in Gwynedd.

I remember The Owl Service, I was around 10 at the time. It totally perplexed and creeped me out. But, I had watched a lot of Doctor Who by then so I had gumption and did my best to stick with it. It did give me a few nightmares though.

The book was probably the point where Alan Garner, whose earlier children's books were pretty conventional, started on a path of more demanding and enigmatic books like The Owl Service and Red Shift. You almost had to have a degree in medieval Celtic literature to catch all the references to the Mabinogion. It is admirable that the adaptation is close to the book both in story and its sense of mystery, and Plummer chose to film it in the real-life locations described in the book, when possible. Alan Garner said of the production, "I found the experience hard to bear, because characters -who had lived in my head for so many years- were now really in the valley and really speaking the words that I had written. What had been a thought was now happening in front of me."

Has anyone suggested _The Changes_ (1975) as the subject of a future episode?

Hi Steve. This is one of my two favourite 80's films featuring the wolves of London zoo 😁. It's really interesting to hear about those motorways scenes. I agree the film probably would have been tighter without them. It is great to see scenes where the actors corpse but it stays in the film. btw your pronouncing of Withnail is unusual 😆.

I remember we did the book in school in Year 8 (in 1990 when I was 13). Would be good to see this version.

Made at a time when TV producers credited children as having intelligence and imagination.

I loved this series, I was 9 going on 10 when I saw this, being born at the end of July in 1960, this started my fascination with unusual things, "Ace of Wands" was another favourite, it's a pity that only part of that series still exists.

I remember it... But in black and white. Funny thing memory.

Can anyone here remember another TV show of the same genre that was broadcast around that time (1970 to 1972) where there were these children in a house similar to this one on The Owl Service that could walk through its walls? I also seem to remember them walking through a garage door in it and as they walked through the walls, they left behind this residue that looked like sparks flying outward. I even remember seeing it shown on the TV in my primary school back then but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was called or what it was actually about. Does any of that ring a bell with anyone here?

I saw it in 78, and it made me read the book because I was totally confused, and the book didn't help. Then years later I reread the book, and got a lot more disturbed

Great ❤

Really enjoying your content. Thanks for posting.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a sequel series with a new cast of characters interacting with the old as they go off on their own time travel adventures

I LOVED IT

Were these shows syndicated? If so they would probably have been sent out on 16mm film and just maybe may exist somewhere.

Why is a TV series now called a season?? There are four seasons and none of them have anything to do with television. Anyway, good video. Back when children's TV was very good. I remember it well.

Remember this well as ac 10 year old back in 1970, i remember going into our back garden and hoping to find a Timeslip.

I enjoyed your presentation. Thanks. I remembered time slip but not the full,details.

Olaf Stapledon coined the term Homo superior for his novel Odd John. I believe Bryan Talbot came up with Homo novus in his graphic novel series Luther Arkwright. Advances in human genetics and psychic abilities were a big thing in the Sixties and Seventies, kids. Every SF franchise, every SF author, wrote about psionics, and the themes turned up in Star Trek, Doctor Who, Ace of Wands, you name it. All the way up to 1977, and those space monks with their fluorescent light swords.

Timeslip was one of my all time favourite shows on TV. Cheryl Burfield. Ooh... time for a cold shower!

I loved this serial. I think the music makes it creepier. They don't make children's TV like this anymore. I couldn't believe the price of the DVD and I won't be selling mine.

I loved Timeslip. I did buy the DVD and I still have it. Timeslip was one of those programs that stayed in my memory from my childhood.

I remember being enthralled by this at the time and this is a good overview - but a shame that two of our greatest character actors - Freddie Jones and Iain Cuthbertson - aren't mentioned by name!

This began my fantasy writing career. Sigh...

A great blast from the 1970's, transported to Australia and remained iconic - along with Doctor Who, The Goodies, Fawlty Towers and scores of other British made shows. Had the DVD boxsets for quite awhile, until the need to travel meant I couldn't take them with me! BTW does anyone currently have the original PAL DVD boxsets? I'm trying to complete my digital backup copy which got corrupted! (very annoying!)

Nice I have this on DVD.

Mr Stabbs, had a spin-off story -"Dutch Schultz's Shoes."

I used to walk to school with Spencer Banks.

I remember that when it first came out. I was very young but I still was able to follow the plot and themes. I remember thinking that the girl was a bit of a ninny.

I still remember the bit about a Naval Station and not being able to die before you were born.

Thank you so much for this, I remember it well. Love the colour strike info 😊. 'Gnomes of Dulwich' is a forgotten series I'd love to glimpse again, Terry Scott and Hugh Lloyd.

I love this Series. I was 7 years old when the programme came out in 1970, and still watch it on KZbin from time to time.

I remember really enjoying Timeslip when it originally aired. I must have been 8. But it made an impression.

Watched Yimeslip,the tyrant king,tightrope and the jensen code on NZ tv during the early to mid 70s, wonderful shows great memories 💎 Auckland New Zealand 2024
