Seasons & Episodes
1. The Flipside of Dominick Hide
Dominick Hide, a time traveller from London in the year 2130, is studying the city's transport system of 1980. Breaking the rules, he lands his craft to seek out his great-grandfather. Compared to his sterile home, 80s London is filthy and polluted... and yet... it exudes an excitement that soon draws him in.
2. Another Flip for Dominick
Two years after his journey into the past, Dominick Hide has been promoted to instructor, and is no longer a time-traveller. Then one of his pupils, Pyrus Bonnington, goes missing during a visit to 1982 London. Hide must track him down and prevent Pyrus damaging the past, but will the temptation to re-visit his own history be too strong to resist?
