You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind,

a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.

That's the signpost up ahead. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone.

I'd like to start.

I'd like to start by just going back in time to season one of the Twilight Zone.

And Rod Sailing would always introduce it in this way.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.

It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition,

and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.

This is the dimension of imagination.

It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

So we've moved beyond that opening narration now, but in a lot of ways it's my favourite one,

the most definitive one.

It's the one that tells us where the twilight zone exists between science, what we know,

what we can prove, the summit of man's knowledge, and superstition, what we fear, what we know, what we can prove, the summit of man's knowledge, and superstition, what we fear,

what we believe or suspect, despite what we know, the pit of man's fears.

For me, for a long time, the Twilight Zone did actually exist in a way between light and shadow, waiting up until 2 o'clock

in the morning to catch whatever episodes was on, alone in the night, half asleep. The episodes

took on a dreamlike quality and I would often find that when I watched them again in daytime

hours, they weren't quite how I'd remembered them

because my mind wasn't in that same place.
