Two things that sci-fi fans of my vintage used to do that are now obsolete. One was holding a microphone up to the television's speaker to record an episode of Doctor Who or Star Trek. The other was taking photographs of the telly.

Remembering the wonderful James Darren on what would have been his 90th birthday. For many fans, he's Star Trek DS9's lounge-singing hologram Vic Fontaine. But to this 1960s kid, he’ll forever be my childhood hero, Dr Tony Newman, lost in the depths of The Time Tunnel.
As a boy I'd go somersaulting around the play park in a green turtleneck sweater, pretending to be Tony arriving "somewhere along the infinite corridors of time". Happy memories.

Vintage advertisement for The Time Tunnel, featuring James Darren in the natty white jumpsuit he wore in the pilot, posing beside AN/FSQ-7 computer control panels. Those AN/FSQ-7 panels cropped up in many a sci-fi series and movie, but for me they’ll always be the heart of Project Tic-Toc.

Meanwhile, at Project Tic-Toc...
The Time Tunnel team might be struggling to retrieve James Darren, but at least they’ve managed to snag some cups and saucers from the Titanic.

It's all about memory this week and I stumbled upon this just now.
James Darren - 'Goodbye Cruel World'

Farewell to love
I'm off to join the circus
Gotta find a way to hide my tears
Then I'll have them rollin' in the aisle
And I'll forget that woman
if it takes a hundred years -
The early morning hours of 15 April 1912, and time is running out for time-tunnellers Doug Phillips and Tony Newman, who remain trapped aboard the sinking RMS Titanic. Only a desperate gamble by their colleagues back at Project Tic-Toc can save them.

"I've no right to take a place in one of those lifeboats..."
April 15th, 1912: As the Titanic continues to sink, Tony (James Darren) attempts to convince a reluctant Althea (Susan Hampshire) that her life is worth saving.

"It occurs to me now you may even know whether I will die tonight"
Aboard the sinking RMS Titanic, time travellers Tony Newman (James Darren) and Doug Phillips (Robert Colbert) have a difficult conversation with Captain Smith (Michael Rennie).

@karlos During the course of The Time Tunnel's run, Doug and Tony don't hesitate to use guns when they are forced to. Thankfully, as The Time Tunnel universe was governed by the self-consistency principle, our heroes are unable to create paradoxes or alternate time-lines. The can't change history because they were always a part of it (something the writers of the Big Finish reboot completely failed to understand).

James Darren as Tony Newman and Vitina Marcus as Sarit in The Time Tunnel episode, 'Attack of the Barbarians.'

Just finished watching The Time Tunnel episode, 'Chase Through Time,' and I got to wondering if guest star Vitina Marcus is still with us. Turns out she is and it was actually her 88th birthday yesterday!
Vitina is probably better known to fans of classic Sci-Fi as Athena, 'The Girl from the Green Dimension' in Lost in Space, but here she is in gold face-paint instead from the aforementioned episode of The Time Tunnel.

Hoy me he levantado con esto en la cabeza. Uno de los mejores motivos para ver Espacio Profundo Nueve, el estupendo Vic Fontaine :P

📺 The Death Merchant (The Time Tunnel, March 1967): Ending up on different sides just prior to the Battle of Gettysburg, Doug and Tony must stop an attempt by Machiavelli (who had somehow travelled in time from the Renaissance due to the Time Tunnel Project) to affect the outcome of the battle - and send him back to his own era. Malachi Throne plays scheming Machiavelli.

Aliens! And they're not just painted silver! 😅
Ray said "but those creatures didn't exist in that time!" ... I'm sure plenty of things existed that you don't know about! 😂 Not everything gets recorded by history! 😉
The aliens won't let them leave? Why do the aliens care if the time travelers are there?

While people recall #JamesDarren 's "Gidget" and "Star Trek" and "TJ Hooker" creds, for me he will always be Tony from Irwin Allen's short-lived "Time Tunnel" TV series. The show aired when I was in kindergarten, and I had a green turtleneck I wore that was my special "Tony shirt."
Thanks, sir, for the variety of entertainment you provided over the years. And for my Tony shirt.

I’m so sad to hear about the passing of #jamesdarren
I learnt yesterday when Bill Mumy posted a picture of them together some years ago.
This is one of my favourite clips from Time Tunnel. #SciFi

What a varied career he had, from a teen idol in Gidget to such an important supporting figure on Star Trek Deep Space 9 that he was featured in the show's finale. End program, Vic. Rest well. We'll miss you.
