WNEW (Channel 5) in New York City will be airing "Time Travel: Fact, Fiction and Fantasy" on Thursday, July 11 at 9 PM EDT. The one hour special, hosted by Michael J. Fox (who stars in the movie "Back to the Future"), "focuses on various ideas about the nature of time and includes discussions of these ideas as proposed by H. G. Welles, Albert Einstein and present day experts such as Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. Edwin Krupp." The program also looks at time travel in literature, motion pictures and television. Unfortunately, I don't think The Doctor will be mentioned, due to the emphasis on Hollywood productions. The special may be aired by other Metromedia or independent stations this week - check your local TV listings. -- Paul Kemp ihnp4!hou2a!pjk

From: Morrill.PA@Xerox.ARPA I didn't find "Time Travel: Fact, Fiction and Fantasy" very interesting, it was obviously just a promo for the movie "Back to the Future". The most informative, interesting and entertaining show I've ever seen on Time was an episode of Nova entitled "It's About Time", hosted by Dudley Moore. It presented some very interesting ideas as to what time is, what it's made of, where it came from and where it's going. If anybody in the Palo Alto area is interested, I've got a copy of it on VHS. Anybody know of some more high quality time shows? D. Toby
