Timeslip - The Complete Collection Box Set (4 Discs)

Timeslip is a good solid example of children's television drama from the early seventies. It represents an early example of the way ITV was forging new ways of presenting drama for young viewers with an inteligent and original script that doesn't for one moment talk down to its audience. Indeed, the series presents scientific concepts that would have been well beyond the comprehension of its original target audience like cloning, global warming and a somewhat more intellectual concept of time travel than simply using an advance machine like Doctor Who et al.

Despite its somewhat cheap production values, Timeslip's ideas and engaging characters shine through and its historical value is huge making it not just a nostalgia purchase but also of interest to media students and the scientific community as it gives a curious example of how things we take for granted today were seen (or even foretold) over thiry years ago.
