You unlock this door with the key of imagination.

Beyond it is another dimension, a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind.

You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the twilight zone. The twilight zone. I'm The Tonight we take a voyage on a very special ship, but as you would expect, this is no ordinary journey.

Because the ticket you hold in your hand isn't just for one trip, but two.

Both take place on a ship with the same name, and both take place at the same time.

But some of the stops along the way are just that little bit different.

But fear not because our captain on both of these voyages is well known

to us here in the fifth dimension. And he is of course Charles Beaumont. Tonight we set sail

on parallel versions of the ship, the Lady Anne, one from Charles Beaumont short story song for a lady,

and the other from the Twilight Zone episode that we'll be discussing tonight.

But please be warned, if you haven't read Song for a Lady, there are spoilers in the waters ahead,

so if you want to bring some reading material for your voyage,

why not check out Charles Beaumont's book, for chance to dream, to familiarize yourself with it first.

So if you have your ticket in your hand and you're ready to depart,

let's meet Alan and Eileen Ransom as they buy theirs.

Could I see a list of the boats that are running?

As you wish.

Alan, you promised.

I know I promised. It really is very important. Now we agreed on that, right?

I'm afraid these are the only passenger carrying vessels leaving for England in the next 30 days.

The mintral is a freighter, but I understand the accommodations are quite at you. Oh, excuse me. What about this one? The Lady Anne.

Oh, I don't think so. Why not?
