▶ "One Step Beyond": Eye Witness. (rare episode)

[@brucebird133]

Shame they cant make simple shows like this anymore without all the Hollywood... Such simple scripts, would be cheap as chips to make which you would think they would love But these are so entertaining! It appears this series ended 6yrs before my time, but I love em.. shame there arent 500 more episodes.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

I agree that the scripts could probably be written . . . but I doubt they'd be able to actually produce the corresponding episodes. The kind of people necessary to do so don't exist any more . . .

About 15 years ago I was in my kitchen cleaning up around noon time and everything was fine, just a regular day. As I turned to go by the sink I was abruptly and for no reason looking at Times Square in New York City. I was like What?? It was completely destroyed. It had been annihilated. All the buildings lay in ruins. It was like being in a really bad nightmare but I knew I was awake as I looked at it. I noticed there was no sound, not even wind or birds. The silence made me start to panic because I knew I was looking into the future. When? I had no idea and still don't know. I don't ever want to know. It scared me so bad I tried to leave so I shut my eyes and focused on my kitchen. But when I opened my eyes I was still there which terrorized me so with everything about me that ever was I fought my way back and it worked. It left me physically weak for the rest of the day. I hope to God it never happens but it's like I already know.

She was also a fan of The Twilight Zone, and of course I became a fan of The Outer Limits and Star Trek. But One Step Beyond was different, as all of the episodes were based on actual accounts. OSB was the first, along with The Inner Sanctum, which I do not really remember for some reason. Oh yeah, let's not forget The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, another great hour of TV!

This was a true story, the night news editor was Ed Sampson, an alcoholic, who in his drunkness had a dream, about the Krakatoa eruption. This episode omitted a more dramatic detail. Sampson wrote that the island name was Pralape, and when everyone discovered that no volcano or place had this name, later it was revealed that many years ago, Krakatoa was named, precisely, Pralape. Sampson died in poverty, never had recognition because he was fired immediately soon after his report could be proved accuratley.

The dream of explosions and the raining death went on into his waking state. He wrote down his dream with no intention of having it published. Somes turned the paper over on his desk at the Boston Globe and wrote exclusive and left his office. While he was gone, the editor and chief looked at the paper and had it printed. Byron Somes called the volcanic island Pralape. As it turned out, there was nothing of the sort going on in the world and the Boston Globe had to print an apology to all the newspapers to thier embarrassment. Somes was fired and never seen again by the Globe. 8 months later, reports were coming in from Indoniesia that the island of Krakatoa had erupted and exploded. The editor decided to do some research about the Island and to his astonishment, the native people called the island of Krakatoa, Pralape.

Everyone on the elevator looked at her like she was crazy but she wasn't. It's all I could do was to crouch down and hold her while trying in vain to reassure her everything was OK. Among the things she saw were people in a stairwell desperately trying to escape and then killed by the building falling.

I love this show. I thought I had seen every episode, but you keep proving me wrong! Is there any way you can record with more volume?

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

Sorry, it's too late to do anything about it now. I think people find the volume too low only if they watch these episodes on a mobile device or with a built in speaker on a laptop. I watched with separate external speakers when I was cleaning up these videos . . . and the sound could easily be turned up to adequate levels.

[@melmazing3993]

I watched with headphones, and although the sound is a little on the quiet side, the headphones block out external noise and so it balances out. Quite watchable. Thankyou for sharing these. They are from before my time, and I am enjoying them a great deal.

A very young John Mellion, an Aussie actor playing the leading part.

[@gsau3000]

I was thinking the same thing. However I think his voice was dubbed because it does not sound like him.

[@geraldinekearney542]

GSAU I’ve seen him in the other shows when he was young, and this is his definitely his voice

[@victorcelna3028]

marktegan The actor's surname is correctly pronounced Mellion but is spelt Meillon. Odd, but true. He knew, but has taken the one step beyond. Oh, and I concur. It is his voice.

John Meillon aka Walter from Crocodile Dundee. So young!

Maybe JFK liked this show so much was because it is based upon REAL stories.

As well as Australian actor John Mellion, there is English actor Anton Rogers, who was in a lot of notable UK shows in the 60s, including The Prisoner.

Love watching these old reruns because I used to watch every episode of One Step Beyond when I was growing up. I had to laugh at the closing credits of this show, "Dramatized by Derry Quinn." Now I gotta pay more attention to the other episodes and see if "Dairy Queen" is there - just kidding.

Believe it or not, I have experienced teleportation a few times in my life, it's seriously unexplainable.

If anyone could revive a show like this it'd be Stephen Volk.
