That sounds more like Dr Who. And in 1986's "The Trial of a Time Lord" the Doctor visits the future where Earth has been devasted by a solar flare and survivors live in "Marb station", a complex built in and beneath Marble Arch station (although the set for the actual remains of the station bears little resemblence to Marble Arch). After my time. Not very realistic - as every one knows, in the future the Doctor would have landed up in a Crossrail tunnel.... Maybe, though in 1968's "The Web of Fear" the tube maps shown are for 1968 (lacking the Victoria and Jubilee Lines) despite dialogue that dates the story as at least 1975 ("over forty years" after "1935"). But the series also expected the BBC to have a third terrestrial channel by the erm 1980s at the latest (some of the dating is unclear), a British space programme with regular trips to Mars and even shots to Jupiter in the same period, the decimal system to have ten shillings in the pound, five pound coins would be in circulation in the late 1990s bearing the head of a King and that Gillian Taylforth would still be in EastEnders in 2013 (although Letitia Dean keeps making and breaking that prediction as well!). |
