The Flipside of Dominick Hide & Another Flip for Dominick

Who hasn't dreamed of stepping into a time machine and whizzing off to an exciting historical destination? Dominick Hide certainly has, but he's under strict instructions to only observe from the air, never land, never get involved. But Dominick is insatiably curious about the wild heady world of 1980 and his long lost ancestor, so one night he does touch down, stepping into a romantic adventure with a beautiful shop owner called Jane. How long can keep up his illegal excursions? What will be the consequences for his wife Ava and the future itself?

One of the best remembered productions of BBC's legendary Play for Today strand, The Flipside of Dominick Hide begat a sequel, Another Flip for Dominick and ultimately led to a series of SF stories - Play for Tomorrow. Before Back to the Future's Marty McFly ever climbed into a Delorean, these stories successfully mixed genuine science fiction, with humour and romance for a prime time audience.
