Was it a technician's strike, or a technicians' strike? -- Oliver P. 03:34 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Probbly technicians', plural. *sigh* Lee M 01:42, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Am I sad or what? I just ordered this on DVD, after noticing this page said it was available. Mintguy (T) 12:47, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Nope not sad at all- I remember Timeslip from the first time around (in fact was very struck by it at 9 or 10 years old), and borrowed a friends video collection of it a few years back and was impressed at how well it held up- I was struck that for a 'childrens' drama it actualy stood up very well (unlike, say, the Tomorrow People, which upon revisting, was actually pretty naff), in fact more mature than what passes for present day 'adult' dramas. Uncannily prescient as well, with it's themes of cloning, global warming, military secrecy, etc. I might even invest in the DVD's myself! quercus robur 02:18, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

And don't get me started on that doom-laden theme tune! quercus robur 02:22, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] '3 points'

Moved here by quercus robur from main article;

• Three points. Simon and Liz seem to be able to travel the maybe a hundred miles between the middle of the jungle and Whitehall unbelievably quick. How? 2957 originally used a hovercraft?
• Originally, instead of 1500 million gallons of water a day being pumped away from the melted ice caps, only 1200 million gallons is being pumped away. All mentions after that has it the other way round which makes more sense.
• Episodes 1-7 were written by Bruce Stewart, episode 8 by Victor Pemberton.

UPDATE: Found it on eBay for $6, free shipping. Complete series on dvd. http://cgi.ebay.com/TIMESLIP-THE-COMPLETE-SERIES-DVD-SET-FACTORY-SEALED_W0QQitemZ320091954293QQcategoryZ617QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[edit] Rewrite?

This article isn't really much more than a poor plot summary. I've got a few useful articles about the show lying around the place; I think I'll crop the plot summaries and add some info about production critical reception etc. over the next few weeks. Joe King 18:03, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
