A very happy 91st birthday to Lee Meriwether!
Lovely Lee has appeared in many of my favourite TV series and films, including, of course, Star Trek and Batman (as far as I’m concerned, she is still the best movie Catwoman). But it was when Lee played Dr Ann MacGregor on The Time Tunnel that a very young Roo first lost his heart to her.
All my very best wishes to a very special lady.

My idea for a TV/Internet series: a remake of "The Time Tunnel", but with a great deal of differences.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Tunnel
#TimeTunnel #Fiction #Trans #TimeTravel #TV #Adventure
Instead of accidentally lost, the time agents are actual researchers, looking for evidence and physical proof of historical events of choice.
The time agents can control (somewhat) when they will arrive, using their cell phones (with a small, and slow, solar charger) with an app to fiddle with the time currents and communicate with Present Control (the base). The time tunnel can be opened to Present Control for a short time, enough to throw some small equipment and objects back and forth, not enough to run back to base.
Instead of two white cis men, the agents are three: a trans man, a trans woman, and a non-binary (of either sex), of varied ethnicities. A recurring gag is for at least one of them having to get in drag in order to fit in the times' fashion.
In-universe, the Time Tunnel is a reopening of Project Tic-Toc, some 70 years later, with up-to-date technology to support the time tunnel. Thus, the remake is a continuation of the canon timeline.

Interesting documentary about the 1960s TV show #TimeTunnel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upqYnU5kJWo - I was blown away by it as a child when it ran on German TV in the 1970s ...

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.

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.

This is news!
Akiva Goldsman to head up 3 reboots of mid-60s science fiction classic television shows.
I adored Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Land of the Giants never quite caught my interest but it’s definitely got monsters.
Given the level of investment in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Lost in Space, we can expect these to be high end projects.

@karlos If you don't want to watch all 30 episodes of The Time Tunnel before trying the Big Finish series, I would suggest you at least watch the pilot, 'Rendezvous with Yesterday,' and an episode called 'Secret Weapon.'
The first episode will introduce you to the original characters and the basic premise. 'Secret Weapon' is set in Rakervia (though it wasn't called that in the episode), which is important to the audio series.

How exciting, Big Finish has a new three part audio of The Time Tunnel coming soon.

I remember getting ridiculously excited on New Year's Day, 1971, because Granada TV had scheduled a random episode of The Time Tunnel to air. My then local ITV station had dumped the series the previous September, after a run of eleven episodes, so 9 year-old me was really hoping the series was back again. Well, it was and it wasn't. The Time Tunnel DID return - but for only two weeks in November, 1971, and that was it.

Jenny Agutter, Alexei Sayle and Peter Capaldi in 'Drunk in Time,' Sayle's glorious spoof of The Time Tunnel.
Back in 1995, I saw this publicity photo in a TV Guide. As I am somewhat obsessed with The Time Tunnel, I wrote a desperate begging letter to the magazine asking, pretty please, if I might have the picture.
Note: The information card is actually on the back of the photo, but I thought I'd include it for posterity.

My Saturday morning double bill: Star Trek engages in an 'Errand of Mercy' while The Time Tunnel visits 'The Alamo.'
Both episodes were filmed on the same set. The Time Tunnel used the disused fort set on the Desilu 40 Acres lot in October 1966. Star Trek filmed there two months later, in January 1967 (previous to that, portions of the set had appeared in the Rigel VII scene from 'The Cage').

Today is the 115th anniversary of actor Whit Bissell's birth.
If, like me, you grew up watching television in the 1960s and '70s, you'll know that Whit Bissell seemed to crop up in every American TV series going. Of course, it is his role as Lt. General Heywood 'Woody' Kirk in The Time Tunnel that is my favourite.
When I was a boy, General Kirk seemed ancient. Now, I'm actually older than Whit was when he filmed the series...yikes!

Kevin Hagen talked to Starlog magazine about the make-up he had to wear to play the Planet Leader. "Irwin Allen wanted me to wear a monster mask that would completely cover my head. I objected because I wanted to show some facial expressions, so they put a big brain appliance on top of my head, with these giant ears. I remember the young son of one of the production people walked in, took one look at me and said, 'Hey, it's Batman!' And I did look like a giant bat!"

Good old Kevin Hagen, he played four different characters in The Time Tunnel. On this occasion, he was called in at short notice to replace Vic Lundin, who dropped out of playing the Planet Leader for reasons unknown.
Hagen later recalled, "I almost went up in flames when my giant alien brain caught fire in a special effects stunt gone awry!"

@gareth I loved them all. Unfortunately, none of them were able to sustain very long runs in mass market 1960s television.
By January 1967, both Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Thunderbirds were gone, Time Tunnel and Star Trek were the cool new shows.
Syndicated reruns weren’t yet a thing, nor were VCRs. So, when these Sci-Fi shows we loved disappeared, all we could do was look for the next new thing and hope that, unlike most, it lasted more than a season.
It’s easy for those of us, who now have access to the entire catalogue of sci-fi television, to forget that the original episodes of these shows were originally only shown twice in a season and then gone entirely.

📺 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.
