Set my Pace Twin to record it. I wonder if it actually did so? (But that's another thread.......)

This was a strange time related story instead if the general cause and effect SPOILER events seemed to progress in parallel, but I suppose they could put it down to the fact that in the present day he could remember what had gone on before the changes.

I too enjoyed it.

Any one remember one similar I think it could have been in the 80s in the Twighlight Zone??? were they had a radio ham contact his father SPOILER who was the radio operator in a ship that went down in the 2nd WW and died. He tells him how to avoid the incident. As the son leaves the room which the radio is in he enters a room with swastikas on the walls and a group of Nazis as marching out side. By saving his father, it had a ripple effect and the Germans won the 2nd WW
