  British Sitcom Guide - Time Gentlemen Please   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
An refreshingly original and innovative sitcom, "Time Gentlemen Please" is without a doubt one of the most politically incorrect comedy of recent years.
"Time Gentlemen Please" is one of the only British sitcoms in our list to have been broadcast on cable channel Sky One first, as a result it has not transferred to a BBC, ITV or C4.
Sky hoped to sell "Time Gentlemen Please" to America, and so series 1 stretched from the British sitcom normal of around 6 episodes to the US series standard of 22 half-hour episodes, with one Christmas special in 2001, and another 14 shows in series two.

 Time Gentlemen Please
The Time Traveller, as he is referred to in the novelette, relates his experiences in first person to a group of his associates, most without names too.
He cared enough for Weena to return to the future to be with her and to help rebuild civilisation whereas the novelette version just disappears in time, seemingly depressed at the fateful final outcome to Earth's history.
Sure, we have explanations about time being the fourth dimension, which is just an extension of the other three dimensions of length, breadth and height but nobody tries to explain how the machine actually passes through time.

 Time Gentlemen Please
Reviewing other times from the viewpoint of 1898, when the original was written, would also give us considerable understanding of late Victorian attitudes but it would fall down on its science.
The Time Traveller acquired a female companion by the name of Weena but she was a child-like being who required his protection against the Morlocks.
Unfortunately, the poor girl was roasted in a forest fire, probably after she was killed, and the Time Traveller while somewhat put out, was nonetheless glad she'd escaped the jaws of the cannibalistic Morlocks.

My soft little brain would conjure up a system of water channels flowing down a mountainside into a giant bucket with a hole in the bottom that fed a pipe that led up to the top of the mountain where it discharged into a system of water channels flowing down a mountainside.
It was such a shame when I grew older and realised the whole business of time was artificial, imposed on the world for the convenience of railway bosses and TV schedulers.
The brilliance of perpetual motion and time travel is to preserve all the mechanisms of long-evolved bureaucracies by locking them in to new IT systems.

Time, gentlemen, please: closing time at the old Kent brewery
For 169 years, the aroma of hops boiling and barley roasting wafted over the Kent Brewery on Broadway - a smell sweet and moist, suggestive of the dark and cool bars in which the beer is sold.
All too soon, this sensation will be but a memory and Stephen "Speedy" Walmsley, an employee for 27 years, hopes he will be the man allowed to turn out the lights on the huge Carlton & United Breweries building when it closes in early-2005 to make way for a residential development.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | What time is it? Well, no one knows for sure
This means GPS time is now running 13 seconds ahead of coordinated universal time - which includes all added leap seconds and to which most clocks on Earth are set - but is some 19 seconds behind international atomic time, which is based on atomic clocks and ignores leap seconds.
Widening gaps between the GPS time used by aircraft navigation systems and the time used on the ground could generate confusion between a plane's reported and actual position, he says, and so increase the risk of a collision.
One group opposed to the scrapping of the leap second are astronomers, whose sensitive telescopes still rely on time set by the Earth's rotation.

Suddenly time had a precision which was heretofore unknown.
What I always find interesting is the behind-the-scenes finagling we do to keep our timekeeping mechanisms on track: we have leap years every fourth year, except for any year divisible by 100 that isn't divisible by 400.
No time zones here, but one wonders how we'll get used to the notion of @000 - the beginning of the day - being in the early morning for some people or late at night for others.

If in the interveening time there is an injury on the field and the game clock is stopped, the sin bin time also stops, but the blood bin time goes on.
When half time is introduced, then the same theory applies, within the alloted 15 minutes the bloodbinned player must be "brought back on", even though the players are not on the field.
9 minutes into the second half (after 10 minutes playing time) the binned player could return but the injured player is now fit and wants to come back on.

At the same time, one is reminded of the celebrated Zen story of the monk who painted a landscape that was so perfect he walked right into it and disappeared - "Cadmium.." seems to have achieved an elusive goal in improvised music, namely the near-total removal of the identity of the performer.
Clearly, if one takes the time to listen attentively, there is much to appreciate, both in terms of overall form and moment-to-moment nuance, but its sheer austerity continually forces me to question whether I am actually enjoying it, and if so, what "enjoying" actually means.
I suspect that the musicians have produced more extreme performances in their time; however, the quartet is alert, engaged, and responsive, and over the course of each of the six improvised "cuts" the collective interactions and constructions that comprise the group's extemporised dialogue prove consistently subtle and invigorating.

I was watching the bog snorkelling match between Sarries and Leeds the other week and when the Tykes had a player in the bin, all of a sudden a lot of their remaining fourteen went down like flies.
I wasn't quite sad enough to start the chronograph to record precisely how much of the ten minutes' game time the Leeds player had to serve reduced, but the game was stopped at least twice and for about a minute and a half each time.
My concern is that even though injury time is added at the end of each half by the referee, the game clock continues to run while players are being seen to by their medical staff.

 Observer | Time, gentlemen please...
'Have you something in the papers this morning?' John went on loudly in his quasi-formal manner; a man of his time.
No I don't have anything in the papers, and John knows which days I'm in, but it's just the routine, like John's copy of the Mail on the bartop and his radio dial set on Amber Gold 1170AM, with John humming along to something like 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'.
We stood there uncertainly for a minute and he added that the pub was closing down in a few days' time, since no one wanted to buy it, so I bought a pint and sat down in my usual position intent on embedding each detail of the bar in my mind.

 Clark Blaise : Time Lord: Sir Sandford Fleming And The Creation Of Standard Time : book reviews : spike magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For the chief engineer of a national railroad company, especially one so industrious as Sandford Fleming in 1876, misreading a timetable - and thereby missing a train - was especially irksome.
Inspired by affinity and curiosity, Blaise delivers that dizzying, inventive epoch, the velocity-spawned birth of modernism, the shock of a shrinking world, the motion sickness of sea change, and the necessary "sophisticated abstraction" of standardized time.
To accuse him of overstating the confusion and anxiety born from a multiplicity of pre-standardized "local" times is to forget what life in 19th-century North America's 144 "official" times was like.

 BBC - Comedy - Guide - Time Gentlemen Please
Known only as Guv, the pub landlord is a perpetually angry, jingoistic, French-hating, Brussels-blaming little Englander with concrete ideas on the ways of the world and especially pub lore ('pints for the gentlemen, white wine or fruit-based drink for the ladies.
His angst is partly rooted in his wife's walking out, taking their son Carl (short for Carlsberg - had they had a girl she would have been named Stella), but one gets the impression that Guv has always been a difficult bar-steward.
(Although the six-week runs customary on British television are often frustratingly short, they do permit time to rethink between series.) Murray's pub landlord was able to hold his own during the show's long run, but most of the other characters were less rounded and failed to convince.
