In our final visit to the archives, tonight I'm presenting to you a chat that I had with my good friend Al Sherdsmer about a rod-sailing teleplay on a TV movie.

So we'll get into the details of that in the actual thing itself but I will say for the final time

if you are a first time listener to the Twilight Zone podcast this is not the usual format so

maybe just go back a little in the run and check out one of the episodes with a Twilight Zone episode

title and you'll see how things generally go.

But over in what I call the After Hours Club on Patreon where, you know, supporters pledged to

support the show, there is all kinds of extra content over there. And one of the things that I like to do occasionally is discuss

Rod Serling's work outside the Twilight Zone and that's what tonight's episode is. So this is going to be

the final visit to the archives before my coverage of Sailing Fest begins. So the next episode that you'll get after this one is just a rundown of what's actually going on at Sailing Fest.

So if you are sitting on the fence and deciding whether to come or not,

this next episode will give you a bit of a flavor of what to expect. So, Sailing Fest begins,

but for now, let's check out the time travelers. The

The As you have probably noticed here in the After Hours Club, time doesn't quite behave as it does in the outside

world. Now, if you pop in for a spot of lunch on Thursday, you might just find yourself

leaving before you've actually arrived and it all gets a little bit confusing. But things

seem to work themselves out in the end. And our club president,

of course, penned several tales where people traveled through time. In fact, the backdoor pilot

for the Twilight Zone, the time element, was a time travel story. So in a post-Twilight's own world,

when producer Ewan Allen needed someone to write a remake of his 1966 television show,

The Time Tunnel, Who Better to Do It, than Rod Sailing?

First broadcast on March 19, 1976,
