"Play for Today" The Flipside of Dominick Hide (1980)

Watched this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yet to watch it's follow up (Another Flip for Dominick - 1982) but can certainly recommend the first if you enjoy such films as the Terminator and other time-travel stories.

Great considering it was just a "Play for Today" - i.e. relatively cheaply made by the good old BBC.

Anybody else seen it?

Yes, watched both of these plays when first transmitted and bought them on DVD a couple of years back - under a fiver on Amazon now I note!
Always thought the story would've made a good serial.... who knows maybe the BBC will look at it now they've remade Survivors and with Day of the Triffids due to be re-done next year - glad they're both getting the HD treatment too

What a great couple of plays - highly recommend watching them!

Yes they were first rate and before Terminator as I recall.
