I have a vague memory about a TV series I saw as a kid (mid-late 1990's). It was about a male teenager, traveling alone, who had time travel adventures. I loved it to bits, but I haven't seen or heard of it since. It would have been in English.  Anyone know what I'm talking about? I don't remember any further details, but I'm hoping someone remembers it. I'm a big fan of time travel, so hate to miss out on decent time travel stuff.

In the 1980/90s there was a TV show airing in the Eastern USA about two partners who had this pocket watch that was actually a time machine.  I distinctly remember an episode where the two time traveled to Thomas Edison's time and met him. Mr. Edison pick pocketed the watch and completely disassembled it to see how it worked. Panic ensued till he was able to reassemble it. Apparently in the the process it taught Mr. Edison how a light filament works and was the catalyst for him inventing the light bulb.  Anyone know what this series was called?

This was a TV show aired in the UK probably sometime between 1990 and 1993, if memory serves it was only a one-off. The plot starts with the protagonist waking up in bed and being disappointed. He eventually goes outside and everyone is dead, whatever they were doing at the time they died doing it (driving, working, etc.) The protagonist is in a state of panic running around town (I seem to remember it being set in the UK) and he discovers that he's is 'alive' because he'd attempted suicide and died at the exact moment this mysterious event happened. I think he encounters others that 'died' at the time of the event and that's when he realises. I think the protagonist was a bald, white man, probably mid-thirties. Sorry for any vagaries, I was VERY young when it was on. Until recently I assumed it was The Quiet Earth but I've checked and it definitely isn't. It was in colour and was contemporary at the time so it would have been made around 1990.

I am attempting to find the title of a live action (not animated) movie I once watched on a VHS tape years ago, sometime around 2000-ish, although I believe that the movie had existed long before I watched it. I believe that it was in color (it was not black and white); however, I am not 100% sure this is true. The main plot followed a young boy in America who was transported years into the future by a friendly alien spaceship. I can remember that this boy doesn't remember that he traveled through time, and he attempts to go back home, where he finds that his house has a different family living in it (because he was in the future). The boy eventually finds his family, but they are years older and have been looking for the him since the night he was taken through time.  I can also remember that the U.S. government eventually got involved and kept the boy in confinement to try and discover why he didn't age, but that's about all I can remember. In the end, the boy does end up getting transported back to his own time; however, I do not recall how this happened.  I hope that this is not too vague - if anyone has any ideas as to what this film is called I would be very appreciative to hear them.

I remember a series that I liked in the 80's. It was about a group of children that may have lived on a farm.  They found pieces of machinery in the local countryside which they found fitted together.  It definitely had a sci-fi type feel to it and was a live action show.  I think the series was probably on after Newsround for 20-30mins. It may have been an import.  I never saw all the episodes, sorry for being vague.  Also I never saw an ending if there was one.  EDIT  There was maybe a swamp where they found a ring of the device Also there was a girl and boy and possibly another character other than family members (mum, dad etc)

This is a tough one, it has eluded me for years!  It is a TV show which opens with two brothers, maybe in 17th or 18th century London. One is around 16, the other is 11 or so and he idolises his older brother. There is a fire, the older brother died but seems to return or summon the younger one to a magical land called something like "yanki-hola". They were transported to a village in, I think, medieval times. I think there were some adventures there against a local bad baron or duke.  I really just remember that it was sad and unsettling when the older brother died. Has anyone ever seen anything similar to this? I have tried for years to find an answer.

I watched it maybe more than 8 to 12 years ago, but as far as I remember there was this place where androids (or maybe they were cyborgs) lived. (I think it was more like a hidden town). This guy finds them by accident (or at least I remember it that way) and tries to help them. I don't remember seeing any aliens or spaceships or anything like that. It was live-action, and I think US-based.  So, what I remember:   The bad guy is a human who has one red flashy robotic eye (not like terminators, it looks like a square eye patch above one of his eyes that functions like a second eye), he is collecting eyes from these androids/cyborgs. He also kills some of these androids/cyborgs but not all of them, some of them he just collects their eyes and doesn't kill (or get to kill). There was this woman who was a sexbot or something, she tried to give pleasure to the bad guy at some point, yet the bad guy added one of her eyes to his collection instead, but didn't/wasn't able to kill her. Towards the end she says something like "I used to give pleasure, now I only want to give pain" The human guy who found them tried to help them defend themselves from the bad guys, but they were in bad shape, many of them needed repair. To repair some of them, they needed spare parts they didn't seem to have, but one of the android/cyborg dudes said something like "we don't really bury our dead" and he brought a box of spare parts (or maybe android/cyborg body parts), they used these parts to repair some of the androids/cyborgs. There was this android/cyborg guy who was an assassin or something, but lost his fingers or hands, they couldn't find any hands compatible to his, but he said something like "I can still feel my trigger finger, just attach the weapons to my hands".   I remember it as a great movie/tv show, but I can't find anything about it. Can someone help me?  Please and thank you in advance...

I've often wondered, how does the Doctor know how old he is? He not only travels through time, but also through space, and visits planets where days can be shorter or longer than 24 hours. How does he 'keep score'?  Also, does he count his age in Earth years or Gallifrey years? They might be completely different in length.

I have been trying to find the title of this kid's movie involving these 2 scenes and the best description from what I can remember. Each of the scenes are connected by the use of the watch but in two different time periods in 1980s/1990s and then in the past.  First it’s about two best friends (I think both are male) who both set their wrist watches at a certain time to remember to watch a TV show (I think wrestling?) each week and after confirming the exact times on their wrist watches they say yeah air alright and possibly high five.  The show somehow had to do with time travel to the past. Only one of the friends goes back but I'm not sure how. While being stuck in the past and trying to solve a problem to help the people in the past, his alarm for the TV show goes off and he remembers the title of the TV show by hearing the alarm uses the battery to solve the problem. The watch didn’t cause the time traveling only that the battery of the watch was used in the past after traveling there.  But other then those scenes I don’t know the whole main plot and around the time it came out in the early 90s or late 80s.  It's not A Kid In King Arthur’s Court.

I just watched the movie  and started pondering time travel.  While pontificating and stretching my limited remembrance of AP Physics, science documentaries, and YouTube videos I remembered the laws of Conservation of Energy and Mass.  Would that not make time travel impossible?  You can't send something elsewhere in time as you would be destroying energy and/or mass, by removing it from the current time.  And it would be impossible to arrive elsewhere in time, as you would be creating energy and/or mass.  I know this is theoretical and a real answer can't be found till someone invents a time machine.  I'm just curious as to what people think of that.

I read a story a long time ago, I think in a short story collection.  The main idea was that a TV had been invented that could be set to any place and time in the past, and you could see what happened there and then.  Anybody know what it was?

I thought it was from TNG, but it might be something else.    The crew somehow get trapped in some kind of altered time state (either time slows down or they get put in another dimension) The only way to fix it is to wait until a future point in time.  So they end up living most of their lives into old age on the ship.  Several characters get married and develop close relationships.  Finally the one character who ages the least (I think Worf, but it may have been a Klingon like character) has to warn the crew from the different dimension not to do something that will cause the time-disturbance.  I know its a fuzzy description, but I remember it being a good episode  does this sound familiar to anyone?  Thanks

This was a book where several kids who died in several historical disasters were given a choice by an old man about if they wanted to die in that disaster or come with him and be sort-of &quot;time police&quot;, the only catch is that they would be locked into that role. There was a boy who was on the Titanic, a girl who was on one of the 9/11 planes, and I think one or two more. They are taken to this secret hideout which is in New York during a time loop of 9/11. When they are there, every day is the same day, September 11th 2001, and the reason for this is because it keeps them away from prying eyes. The current timeline, not the time loop, is in the future, where time travel technology is invented, and the old man and the kids serve to stop anyone from misusing time travel. In the current time, the future, a group of heavily armed Neo-Nazis raid a museum, maybe the natural history museum?, to abscond with the first time machine, which is on display, so they can go back and have the Nazis win World War 2. The Neo-Nazis succeed in their goal and go to Hitler's bunker in the Winter and show him all of their future technology. This book was part of the series, and the second book concerned dinosaurs.

Someone recently recommended a TV show to me. I remember them saying it starts with aliens coming to Earth, because something happened to their planet and they are in need of help. They agree to be settled or integrated somewhere, and then mysteriously the ship they had come in blows up. It leaves so much debris around the Earth that people/aliens can no longer go into space. I think he also said that the aliens have the ability to terraform.  Does anyone know what show this is/was?

I remember watching this TV show in the early- or mid-nineties (I think) that was about a war between humans and a mysterious alien race. At least some of the episodes focused on learning new things about the aliens. Specifics that I recall:   The aliens were called "chigs" or "chiggers" or something like that. [I'm not really certain on this bit, to be honest, but I do recall there was some kind of slang term the characters used for the aliens that always made me think of some kind of insect.] The show focused on a particular group of human soldiers/pilots (they seemed to do as much space combat as ground combat, as I recall). The show featured a brand new element, although I forget what it was called, and there was even an updated periodic table that included it. Pretty much all of the aliens' technology was based on this element and its unique properties.   It was a pretty dark show (both in theme and in actual lighting), and they seemed to go out of their way to never give the audience a good view of the aliens (probably trying to increase the mysteriousness of them); in fact, I seem to recall one episode in particular where they had captured the dead body of one of the aliens, and yet they still refused to give the audience a clear look at this creature.  I believe it was short-lived, canceled after just 1 or 2 seasons (possibly mid-season, I seem to recall story arcs remaining unresolved). I remember really enjoying the show, and would love to look it up again and re-watch it, but not remembering the title makes that a bit awkward...  If you need more detail, please ask -- I remember bits and pieces of several of the episodes, and with some prompts I should be able to provide additional details.

I'm pretty sure this was a visual story, on TV, but I could have read it and just imagined strong images to go with it.  If I saw it on TV, it'd have been an anthology show, but I've searched and I'm pretty sure it wasn't on any version of The Twilight Zone.  While I'm not strong on details, I remember a man puts together a crystal radio and starts picking up broadcasts from WWII (this is in at least the 1970s).  His Father (or uncle?) or some other older male relative was killed in a Nazi attack and he realizes if he can receive signals from WWII, he can send them, so he sends a signal to the past to warn the Allies of the attack where his relative was killed.  The ending is an image I've had in my head for years, but the way my brain works, I could have just imagined it after reading it (if it was a book, and not on TV).     The man wakes up in a bakery or similar small business with his Father running the place and it turns out he saved his relative, but also, in sending that signal, he changed history so the Nazis won WWII and he and his Father have ID cards on and there are swastikas and other Nazi symbols all around, in and outside of their small business, which is somewhere in America, where the Nazis now rule.

I'm looking for the name of a late 70's/early 80's SFF tv movie or episode where a woman scientist sacrifices herself for a child (who may be neanderthal?) and they travel back in time or get beamed somewhere, never to return.  The memory is hazy (perhaps the neanderthal child is a chimp?) but a group of neanderthals or chimps have been beamed into a laboratory. At first this is a great achievement but the neanderthals or chimps do not adjust well. Eventually they must be sent back. In the meantime a woman scientist has formed a bond with a child subject. The woman has given the child a (blue?) blanket which the child finds soothing. It might not even be a blanket but some other calming token.  Just before the 'return' beaming (there might be a countdown) a crisis ensues where the child is freaking out, perhaps because it wants its blanket. The child touches the woman or the woman goes into the beaming room. In any case the step is irreversible and the woman and child get beamed or disintegrated together as the other scientists look on in despair.  Any help identifying this story would be most appreciated.

I’m looking for a TV show where an alien race comes to Earth and sets up big purple/pink cylindrical or cone shaped spaceships in various cities around the world. The Aliens are not hostile but actually created peace and eliminated hunger on Earth.    I believe the aliens had some human features and were wise and calm the main actor had a phone with a pull out screen I believe the main actor worked for or with the aliens I believe that in the last episode some humans and aliens go into some kind of pods and perhaps leave Earth? one of the space ships was located in a major US city. Maybe Washington DC or another East Coast city   Could someone please tell me what TV series this is? I have been searching everywhere and cannot find it. Thanks!
