It's never explained what or who they are or who they work for, they just turn up & stop time manifesting itself as either ghosts or creatures or making deals with people giving them chances to turn back the clock and correct mistakes that give time a way in to threaten the world.
My favourite story is the one where time manifests itself as a faceless man who can transfer himself into any photo, trap people inside photos & make copies of people inside them.

For christs sake Urban, that plot line gives Dr. Who a run for his money.
But no kidding, that looks like a
such a good one. I love old tv shows like that that have rough special effects. I think it make it scarier because they make you use your imagination more. Half the stuff today relies too heavily on special effects and kills the imagination aspect and the scare of 'not knowing'. And that narrator is classic. Paper burnnnnssss
awesome. And dammit those old spooker shows like that have the scariest sound effects.

lucky for me the CBC here in Canada would fill their schedule with old BBC programs on weekend mornings, this made Sunday mornings pretty awesome for a time. anyone ever manage to score any kind of modern release of this series? i remember hearing plans for it when McGoohan passed away but i've never seen it on a shelf.
i remember when TGIF was about reruns of Family Ties and a 'new' episode of Full House and Family Matters. there was nothing to be thankful for on Fridays hahaha

Oh yeah......and I remember staying up REALLY LATE one time on Friday and caught an episode of Xenia Warrior Princess. God was that show awful too.
I remember Family Matters. Even though its been about 10 years since I've seen it and would probably cringe if I watched it now, I can't rag on that show. Steve Urkel is an American hero.

One of the passengers has a device which freezes time and keeps them there until everything above ground has settled.
The mini series was based around their journey on earth after the meteor had hit. I was only 8/9 when it was out, and it was fucking sublime. I remember one scene in particular where a woman (I think it was the short haired girl in the picture below) finds a wild boar and stabs it several times in the eye/head so they could eat it. Anybody remember it?

Not a bad story line, I wouldn't mind seeing that. I don't see why they would stab a boar though, I figured they could just freely raid all the grocery stores.
Its so hilarious which small little scenes of tv shows we can remember.
