Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

AgentSauvage This story of a time traveller who tries to find his great-great-grandfather in 1980 is superb. The story was so well written it is still enjoyable and eminently watchable nearly 40 years after its production. The casting is fantastic - Patrick Magee plays his very best character as Caleb, repeated in the 1982 sequel "Another flip for Dominick" in what was to be one of his last ever television appearances. These two stories are as near perfect as the BBC has ever managed - Peter Firth, Caroline Langrishe and Pippa Guard deserved award after award for their representations of the main characters. There are some quite lovely moments - the scene in the Magistrates Court in the sequel is without parallel in any other production. Michael Gough is a tour-de-force as the Home Office scientist in the sequel and there are so many soon-to-be famous faces in almost every crowd scene. These two fantastic productions deserve greater recognition and should be repeated at least once every year. I have not smiled so much in years revisiting these timeless classics. Enjoy, then return some months later and enjoy once again.

lesleymwilliams This (These) were brill. I remember taping (steampower) the second one before we went to my mother-in-laws!!!!!! Re-watching Spooks (another good series)reminded me of this/these.'are there somewhere islands....' Really ought to be repeated. They were a bit more than Sci Fi.I am going to try to track these down. One day I will go back to HEARNE Bay. Anyhow.....take my advice BOTH are well worth watching. Its even spookier now Hydes older!!!!! Again...not going to spoil the plot....but well worth watching. I also LOVED the song introducing the first one.

ColinBaker This was a delightful time travel play from 1980, beautifully played by the main actors, and including clever references, and even a sly note about attitudes to homosexuality.One person mentioned about making this a film with Jim Carrey. I think that would be a dreadful mistake. For one thing, Peter Firth's Dominick is a bit odd in 1980, rather than the madcap zany character in many of Carrey's roles. Secondly, the whole production is understated, the only music being Beatles music played by a futuristic hologrammatic trio, and an undistinguished theme song.Appropriately, this, together with its less successful follow up, Another Flip for Dominick, is definitely "of its time", and should be left alone, but the BBC should repeat both, and on a mainstream channel rather than BBC4, on which they were recently shown.

geoff b Quite agree with the comments posted, a very entertaining concept. Not so sure it would be dated now. Managed to record both episodes on the re-run but sadly misplaced the tape some years ago. Still makes me smile when someone bumps into live musicians in the pub - still waiting for holographic performers to be available!
