00:00The End
00:50Your name really is Frank Skinner. It really is.
00:52That's right. Frank Skinner. Would you like me to phone my mother?
00:54But it can't be Frank Skinner.
00:56Why can't it be?
00:57It just can't.
00:58Girlie, what's the matter with you?
01:00Oh, I don't know. It's weird.
01:02But if you're Frank Skinner, this is the old naval station.
01:05Old? Why do you call it old? It's only been up a couple of years.
01:07But it is the naval station.
01:08Hmm?
01:09The naval station on the Hillibuff St. Oswald.
01:11Honest, you kids take the biscuit.
01:13Got let through the fence by a crowd of obliging Germans, or whatever the tale was.
01:16Look, why don't you just relax and tell the truth?
01:21Come on, this cocoa's getting cold.
01:23Wait a minute. I've got to try and explain.
01:26We've come from...
01:26Look, you've barged into what's called a classified establishment.
01:30What did you say your first name was again?
01:32Liz.
01:33Liz.
01:34Hmm, it's a nice name.
01:36Anyway, Liz, whether you like it or not, I'd have to put you in the recreation room
01:38until we can contact your parents and clear things up.
01:40You won't find our parents.
01:42You're not like the other kid, are you?
01:43What other kid?
01:44Well, I reckon the commander's got a right to be a bit annoyed with you village people.
01:47No sense of responsibility.
01:49In case you miss the six o'clock news, there's a war on.
01:52Mr. Skinner.
01:53Now what?
01:55Where were you born?
01:56Oh, stone me, girl.
01:57You've got a thirst for knowledge.
01:59Which is like my card from The Amuletee Files, the story of my life.
02:01I... I just wondered, was it in rugby?
02:06As a matter of fact, it was.
02:08And round about 19... 24.
02:1223?
02:14Yes.
02:16Yes, that's right, Mr. Skinner.
02:38I...
02:40Yes.
02:41Yes.
03:02No, no, no...
03:03Really.
03:03Do you want to take a look at the festival?
03:03I'm sorry.
03:03Okay.
03:07I can't see how much it is.
03:11Mrs. Skinner feeling better now, I trust?
03:14Huh? What?
03:15Well, I saw you taking her upstairs earlier on. She didn't look too well.
03:19Oh, she's just worried about Liz and Simon. They haven't come back yet.
03:23Ah.
03:25I'm going for the police.
03:26Oh, not just yet, I wouldn't have thought.
03:28What?
03:29A time enough for the police when we know what the trouble is, perhaps.
03:38Well, this is young Simon's book.
03:40Yes, I thought it must be. It was found by a farm labourer over by the old naval station,
03:44just where that other girl, Sarah, disappeared.
03:47It seems to be open season on children, doesn't it?
03:50What?
03:52Skinner, can't you remember anything of your time at St. Oswald during the war?
03:55Oh, now, look. Two children are missing.
03:57One's my daughter and one I'm responsible for.
03:59My wife's worried sick and I've got to do something.
04:02Can't you remember, for example, that while you were at the station in 1940,
04:06I was your commanding officer.
04:15All right, Alice, give me maximum range.
04:18Now.
04:21Ah, it's reception again.
04:24Now, why?
04:24Well, we'll have to leave it now, Dr. Ford.
04:26I ask me work to do on the other equipment.
04:27All right, I'll be right with you.
04:28Okay.
04:29Check all the other links thoroughly.
04:30Of course.
04:32It's the memory unit, sir, I pray.
04:33We've not really perfected them yet.
04:34Well, just so long as you can have a mock-up ready by the end of the month.
04:37End of the month?
04:38Yeah, I'll do my best.
04:39You see, we can bounce the beams off the objects well enough and pick up the echo.
04:43Yes.
04:43But when it comes to retaining the image...
05:34Who's that?
05:34What's the matter?
05:34The other kid I told you about.
05:35Also fell through the fence and she won't tell us a thing about herself either.
05:38Well, she can't, can she?
05:39What do you mean?
05:41She's not like other girls.
05:43Oh, you mean you know her?
05:45Sort of.
05:46Well, thank the Lord for that.
05:47I can tell the commander we've received a signal from the mainland and can proceed to put all borders ashore.
05:52But Mr Skinner...
05:53Oh, call me Frank.
05:55Frank?
05:56Well, that's my name.
05:57Unless you're going to tell me there's some weird reason why it shouldn't be.
06:01Hey, Liz.
06:02Come on, not you too.
06:04One female with a weeps is all I can cope with.
06:07I know, you're a funny kid.
06:10They don't seem to get you.
06:11Sometimes it's almost like I...
06:12Yes?
06:15I don't know.
06:16Well, don't let it get you down.
06:18Worst things happen at sea.
06:25That man!
06:27That man must be my father, Simon, when he was young.
06:31Yes.
06:33Somehow or other we've gone back in time.
06:36The other side of the fence, it's our own time.
06:39But here, it's 1940.
06:411940, that's when my father was at the station.
06:44And they were working on radar.
06:46Oh, yes.
06:47But how's that possible?
06:48People can't go back in time.
06:511940 was before I was born.
06:54So if that man is my father,
06:56then I'm not his daughter.
06:58Yet.
07:01What's the matter?
07:02What are you looking at?
07:29I'm sorry, but you know, I've lost my memory about 1940 in the station.
07:33I don't know what the blazes happened.
07:34I am aware of that, old man.
07:36If it's any consolation to you,
07:37I've often wondered how you got on after you were taken to hospital.
07:40Now, listen...
07:41Look, I'm a physicist by trade.
07:43In those days,
07:43I was in command of a radar experimentation unit.
07:47Why have you come back?
07:49Oh, I put in an appearance here
07:50as soon as I heard that girl Sarah vanished.
07:53Mr. Traynor.
07:55Commander.
07:56Tell me what happened, please.
07:59It's not funny going through your life
08:00with a blank spot in your head.
08:01I'm just in the dark about the whole war.
08:04It was only when I got back to civil life
08:06that my memory started working again.
08:08Reliably?
08:09No.
08:10No, no, by degrees.
08:12My childhood came back to me quite quickly.
08:15But nothing at all about St. Oswald.
08:17And that loss of memory has worried me ever since.
08:20Hmm.
08:23Yes, well, I...
08:24I suppose you're entitled to know the basic facts.
08:27But I must warn you, this is still restricted information.
08:29Yes.
08:30Well, believe it or not,
08:31for several hours in 1940,
08:34the St. Oswald station was taken over
08:36by a party of Germans.
08:44I'm sorry.
08:44Don't move, please, absolutely still.
08:47Hold on.
08:47Before I die.
08:52Boom, boom!
08:53That's his thing, Frank!
08:54It's good. Get in here, quick.
08:55What is it, sir? I thought I had a...
08:57A shot, yes, that was a shot.
08:58We shot him!
08:59We saw Germans outside, didn't we?
09:00We used to try and laugh at us, but we did.
09:02Germans!
09:09Important documents, they mustn't be found.
09:10What's the... What is this?
09:11What's going on?
09:11Germans. Party of Raiders.
09:12Germans?
09:13Yes, God knows how.
09:14That's something you must do, Skinner.
09:15Well, those kids were right.
09:16The back room. The back room off the operations room.
09:17You got it, sir?
09:18Secret panel in the rear wall.
09:19Switched behind the notice board.
09:20Some equipment that must be dismantled.
09:21Yes, sir.
09:22At all costs!
09:23You'll have a better chance tonight,
09:24or I shall hardly...
09:24Up!
09:30Frank!
09:33Frank!
09:36Frank!
09:39Frank!
09:39Frank!
09:39Frank!
09:39Frank!
09:39Frank!
09:40Frank!
09:41Frank!
09:43Frank!
09:44Frank!
09:48Frank!
09:52Frank!
09:53Frank!
09:54Frank!
10:17The End
10:28this ever happened to your wife before no no never only since you came to st. Oswald yes
10:42I don't think you need worry about the children you know not seriously anyway
10:47what does that mean well as I said before I am a physicist but there are certain events
10:53which escape all the theories all the calculations some of us here and in other countries are pursuing
10:59them and one day we hope we shall trap the mysteries that's all Greek to me yes well
11:06we're dealing in unknown quantities aren't we like a village girl wandering into an apparently
11:10deserted field and disappearing and two other children failing to return from a walk over the
11:21hills Skinner do you believe as most people do the time simply passes away passes away yes that the
11:32past is the past the future the future and all we can ever experience is the present what else am
11:38I
11:38supposed to believe people who lived before us released energy just as we are doing now by
11:44walking and speaking and energy does not pass away some of us are beginning to wonder whether in areas
11:52where there has been an enormous release of energy great events happening shall we say whether the
11:57past doesn't in some way or other persist persist yes well how can it this is the maddest thing I've
12:07ever heard anyhow what's this crazy theory of yours got to do with Liz and Simon you have a very
12:12close
12:12relationship with Liz don't you the closer than is usual between father and daughter perhaps
12:16because of your lost memories this is so isn't it well yes I suppose it is has it ever occurred
12:23to
12:23you that by bringing her here in close contact with events in which you were deeply involved you may
12:29have enabled her to relive them 1940 at the station was a period of great human conflict you know we
12:37were
12:37run by the Germans and then there's your wife's experience well what's that got to do with it she's in
12:46touch with something doesn't know German does she she's just been speaking it no you're you're making too much
12:57of it there's no mystery about genes condition mainly I suppose it's my fault your fault I haven't been much
13:05of a success down the years this memory business I am I started up a little light engineering concern
13:13shortly after we were married but I never really made a go of it life's been hand to mouth often
13:19enough probably worried Jean more than she admits I see and those children may be in trouble I must call
13:26the police no wait I think we should make our own search of the station first believe me Skinner we
13:30must act delicately what's happening here is too important for policemen
14:02so this is more comfortable for you
14:04it was hardly necessary a couple of glass splinters a man wouldn't pay any attention to under battle
14:10conditions fortunately we are not under battle conditions now please you are commander Charles
14:15trainer of the Royal Navy I am allow me to introduce myself I am Helmut Gottfried of the German Navy
14:23I deeply regret the death of a member of your staff deeply regret I have not come here to kill
14:29commander merely to carry out a duty assigned to me if you will give me your promise to cooperate that
14:34there will be no more incidents we shall only be staying a few hours well you're a cool one I'll
14:39say that for you very good with the English too before the war I spent some time in England I
14:44was at
14:45Cambridge Cambridge I have your promise that you will cooperate well I'm not quite sure about that
14:50Gottfried for reasons of your own you've taken over establishment which is under my command I may find
14:55myself obliged to resent that as you wish then I must inform you that your staff will be placed under
15:03close arrest let's stop all this officers and gentlemen stuff for a bit shall we all this rigid formality what's
15:09all this about I'm sorry you sure you haven't got the wrong address Gottfried I mean we're a very small
15:14beer in the grand scheme of things here just a naval records office no no a research center oh we
15:22have information and it is a research I mean
15:25information information I'd like to know how you got that if you please commander I'd also like to know
15:31how you penetrated into wartime England 20 miles past the coastal defenses if you please normal talk just
15:36now I think it will be better commander if we preserve the formality village village where's heist us we come
15:49from
15:49the village it's that door nothing to do with the naval station
15:55he's a low we didn't in the nick for the visit to machen look we're hit by mistake
15:59can't you understand well these young people well to be perfectly frank
16:03got free I don't know they seem to have got in here just as mysteriously as you did
16:08it is so we haven't taken to conscripting children yet what are your names please
16:21Simon says Simon and Liz Skinner and this one Sarah please she's very frightened don't be hard on her
16:30who said anything about being hard on you it's just puzzling very well they can stay in this part of
16:38the
16:39building with you commander very good as for the rest they will be bound and gagged and taken to the
16:43sheds outside they'll suffer no ill effects if you wear them it essen don't you dare touch me I
16:51don't you dare touch me I think you better do as they say Dr. Fortune they seem to have the
16:53upper hand for the moment you what's your name Skinner sir Skinner

17:22in
17:22his life all right Skinner my men and I are hungry you will get us some food I don't think
17:28we've got
17:29don't try anything because my men have arms and as you've seen I cannot prevent them from using their
17:33arms if they are forced to do so you understand yes of course he understands get our guests some food
17:38by
17:38oldies Skinner you hold the key to the supply cupboard and are you others uh inside
17:44there you may not Help me take your friends Let you take your friends
17:47let me take your friends
18:15Care for a game?
18:17Beg your pardon?
18:18This one doesn't speak any English, does he?
18:21Set the reds up for me, would you?
18:26Game. Spiel.
18:33How did you kids get in here, eh? The truth?
18:36There was this hole in the fence. The truth!
18:38The Germans paid you to force an entry phone, didn't they?
18:41No!
18:43How did they get in here without being observed, then?
18:45I don't know. We saw them just after we...
18:48I mean, after we came through.
18:50I tried to tell you we saw Germans.
18:55Honestly, Mr. Trainor, isn't it?
18:57It had nothing to do with the Germans coming. Honestly!
18:59Play.
19:01And, er, how do you know my name, eh?
19:03That's another little mystery we haven't cleared up yet, isn't it?
19:06Well, he was back at the hotel.
19:07Well, you see, you...
19:09Oh, it's so difficult to explain.
19:11Yes, you've said that before.
19:15They've, er, they've come because you're working on radar, haven't they?
19:19Radar?
19:21What the devil do you know about radar?
19:23Well, I just do. I...
19:24Now, you listen to me. Nobody knows what we're doing here.
19:26Nobody, except ourselves and the top brass at the mystery.
19:28What's your game? Now, answer...
19:30Er...
19:31No, no, you don't get a point for that.
19:32You have to pop one of the reds first.
19:33You'd better take the shot again.
20:11Oh!
20:13Er...
20:14Coffee.
20:15I have to get some more coffee from the stores.
20:50Hey!
20:50Hey!
21:05Metrosa!
21:11Metrosa!
21:15Metrosa!
21:16You in there?
21:18Open up!
21:20Open up!
21:21Open up!
21:23Open up!
21:27What's the good of this? They're not here until you know it.
21:30You agreed we should search the station ourselves.
21:32Yes, I know.
21:32It's the place the children were known to be.
21:36Simon!
21:37What's the matter?
21:38Simon, come and look!
21:39It's...
21:40It's...
21:40You're just playing for time, aren't you?
21:42Oh, my dear.
21:42Yes, that's what it is.
21:43You just don't want me to call the police.
21:45Don't you see?
21:46Yes!
21:46It's Daddy!
21:47Daddy and Mr...
21:50Mr...
21:50Daddy!
21:52Out!
21:53What the devil are you playing?
21:55Look out, you'll get yourself killed!
22:00I...
22:00Daddy, we're in here!
22:02Well, I'm not wasting any more time.
22:04I'll do it my way.
22:05Oh, Daddy, you've been so often!
22:05The police won't find them.
22:06I didn't, Daddy, but Simon...
22:07How can you say that?
22:08Because I know!
22:09Because you'd like to convince me of these crazy ideas,
22:11if you know what you mean.
22:11They are not crazy ideas, Skinner.
22:12You don't peel off into the fourth dimension,
22:14whatever it is you call it.
22:15People don't vanish out of their own time.
22:16It's nonsense.
22:17Oh, wait, Skinner, you must...
22:17I don't know.
22:18They don't seem to hear you.
22:20What's the matter with you two?
22:21What can't you see?
22:22It's a father, a Mr. Trainer, over there.
22:25A father?
22:29Where?
22:31Are you mad?
22:37What kind of a trick is this?
22:40There's nobody there.
22:42Nobody there?
22:43Nobody.
22:44Do you think you can fool me with cheap little games like this?
22:47Back inside.
22:48Come on, move!
22:49No! Daddy!
22:50Inside!
22:50Inside, I say.
22:51Come on, inside.
22:53Most of you.
22:53Inside!
22:54Inside, I tell you.
22:56Come on!
23:20And hit,ında!
23:21Ugh!
23:23No!
23:27No!
23:30vraiment!
23:30No!
23:30Ya!
23:32Yeah!
23:35Manual!
23:37On that, I think!
23:44Land!
