Originally posted by Badger11 I think the Americans remade it, I haven't seen it though but I agree another Seventies show with poor production values. It's been remade a couple of times. THe last effort was OK but typically American. THe joy of many of these low budget sci fi sries was that they were home grown, Doctor Who being the obvious example. I thought I was the only person who remembered Timeslip.

She's not one to compliment other women but said she was still very beautiful and a nice person. One more point

I kind of work on the principles that a remake is never as good as the original (in say TV shows or films) and American re makes are even worse. Not TV but the film re makes of The Wicker Man and Get Carter in point. But I must be a hypocrite as I can watch different stagings of plays quite happily.
