The Wrong End of Time - Pt 1

The year is 1970. A young girl called Sarah is walking along the boundary of a disused naval base in St. Oswald beyond a sign which clearly says "Ministry of Defence. Keep Out" She stops as she hears a strange electronic noise. She wanders closer to the base and is seen by Tom Ferris, a farm labourer. Ferris calls out to her but she is mesmerised by the strange sound. She feels out to an invisible barrier that appears to be set between a series of redundant concrete fence posts... and suddenly vanishes into it! The labourer stumbles disbelievingly to the remains of the fence but finds nothing to credit what he has just witnessed save a discarded handkerchief.

The Wrong End of Time - Pt 2

Jean is having a nightmare about Simon and Liz. Her nightmare appears to be connected to events in 1940. Liz cannot accept that the young naval rating could be her father and that the place they are in is the derelict naval station at St. Oswald's, but in 1940 when it was a research centre under the command of Mr Traynor. She questions young Frank further and offers some facts about where and when he was born. To Frank's astonishment, she is right! At the Bull Inn, Skinner is wandering about. He chances upon Traynor in the lounge.

The Wrong End of Time - Pt 3

An angry Gottfried takes Simon and Liz back to the Operations room. On the floor is the unconscious Frank. Traynor and Skinner are still arguing outside the naval station. Gottfried asks Liz what is wrong with Frank. He checks the supply room for an explanation but finds none. He tells Liz to look after Frank in the Common room. Simon is fiddling with the radar equipment when Gottfried sees him and tells him to stop, believing that Commander Traynor has told him to sabotage it. He orders Liz to fix them all some food whilst Simon tells him all he knows about the equipment. Graz and Fritz take the unconscious Frank into the Common room where Commander Traynor is also imprisoned.

The Wrong End of Time - Pt 4

With Gottfried occupied with trying to find whatever it was that Sarah said she saw being buried and Simon helping him, Liz forces Sarah through the time barrier. When she tries to follow, she gets her sleeve caught on the fence and struggles to free herself. Suddenly, she is spotted by Fritz who raises his gun to strike her but Gottfried intervenes giving Liz the chance to escape through the hole in the fence. Gottfried calls for her to come back but she is gone.

The Wrong End of Time - Pt 5

Liz is struggling to find the time barrier. Gottfried has opened up the skirting board and is struggling to find out what is behind it. Liz becomes panicky has she realises that the time barrier has vanished. Gottfried replaces the skirting board.

The Wrong End of Time - Pt 6

Jean is watching horrified as the events in 1940 unfold in her mind's eye. Simon is tormented by Graz and a struggle ensues. Frank grapples with Graz as Liz and Simon head for the window to escape. Graz fires at Frank then turns to Liz and shoots her at point blank range in the stomach. Gottfried enters and Simon tells a shocked Gottfried that Graz has killed her. Jean faints.

The Time of the Ice Box - Pt 1

Liz and Simon emerge from the time barrier not in 1970, as they expect, but in an icy landscape. In the biting cold, they both collapse. Back in 1970 Jean is sharing the experience and is shivering. Frank notices this but Traynor comments that she isn't actually cold. Franks wonders what has happened to Liz and Simon and says that in order to return to the present they only had to crawl through the hole in the fence. Traynor states that they're still learning about the time barrier. A red-suited figure crosses the icy landscape and makes an examination of two large ice blocks, which have gauges on the side. The figure notices the two unconscious figures and lifts Liz, carrying her back across the wasteland to a sliding door that lets into a futuristic-looking installation. A woman meets the figure and he explains that there is 'another one outside.'
