Time Slip

I was thinking about an old TV programme I used to watch in the late 60's/ early 70's called Time Slip. It may have even be one word. I remember one kid actor having thick black plastic specs like I was to get a few years later. For the life of me I can't remember the plot[s]. Anyone recall it?

I think it was one word. There were two kids, a boy and a girl, who found a time hole at an old military base - a natural one, mind! The girl was named Elizabeth, and when they went through into a polar base in the future that is now, if you see what I mean, they met an older version of her who had grown up to be a scientist. They also went into the past, WWII, and met the yopunger version of an old man from the present (1970-odd) who, in another version of the same future, was the boss of the Ministry for Forward Development in a Britain ruled by the Technocracy. They also met a future version of the boy, Simon, who now called himself 2957, and a version of future-Elizabeth named Beth, who ran an unofficial sanctuary for refugees displaced the the Technocracy's schemes...Oh boy!

Yep Mike Noble did the comic strip in Look-in in the 70s.

There's also a whole fan website about the TV series here-

The Tomorrow People was more my cup of tea. Mike Noble did the comic strip in Look-in for that too. Busy guy!

It's really worth watching if you get the chance, Woodsy. One I loved as a child, and still do now.
