Resembling a 1970s version of QUANTUM LEAP, the British TV show TIMESLIP follows two high-school kids--Simon Randall (Spencer Banks) and Liz Skinner (Cheryl Burfield)--as they travel through time. While on vacation, the two kids discover that they have the ability to go back to the past or forward to the future, and they set off on some wild adventures. Amazingly prescient, the show included what were, at the time, fantastical ideas--ideas that came closer to reality in subsequent decades: we find our two young heroes travelling to an ominous future where cloning is widespread and the ruinous effect of global warming wreaks havoc on the world. A sizeable cult following has kept the show alive over the years, and fans will doubtless be delighted to know that this release contains every TIMESLIP episode ever broadcast.
