Title: What Was That Show??? Post by: Mr. DS on March 16, 2007, 11:16:54 AM Not necessarily a movie but a show that was on in mid to late 90s. Brief description;
A person (Michael Caine comes to mind but I'm not 100% sure) goes back in time to observe some infamous people (Hitler, Jack The Ripper). It wasn't exactly a drama like say Quantem Leap but rather a serious show about these historical figures. I recall in the Hitler episode the guy going back to Hitler's painting days and a woman asking over a communication device about what does the guy see in Hitler's eyes. The guy replies with "anger". Not sure what cable channel it was on. Title: Re: What Was That Show??? Post by: Puzzled on March 26, 2007, 12:48:23 PM It doesn't sound like an exact match, since it takes place during WWII and not before, but it is a British TV series and was from the early 90's.

Could this be from the Timecop TV series? I remember it being not as much action and punching as the movie. Title: Re: What Was That Show???

I could very well be mixing that up. Something tells me it was a very short run show. I don't recall seeing many episodes. Title: Re: What Was That Show???

I also remember the controversy when Jon Eric Hexum (the star of the show) accidentally killed himself when he pointed a blank .357 revolver at his had and pulled the trigger. The force of the wadding fractured and penetrated his skull. Voyagers wasn't a bad show, but I was always partial to Irwin Allen's The Time Tunnel. Title: Re: What Was That Show??? Post by: freeman on July 26, 2018, 08:57:40 AM This sounds like the "you are there" series that was on american TV in the 50s hosted by Walter Cronkite, they ran went to a historical event and played it like a news teams there covering it, for example for Paul Reveres Ride, they would interview actors pretending British and american soldier, Reveres family etc. I think this was revived under other names several times, there was aversion on Canadian TV in the 1970s with similar format, Called witness to yesterday.
