What happens
Dudley and Fowler test a time machine that Dudley has built after three years of work. Fowler travels with him into the far future, arriving in the year 100,080, where they meet a gentle, childlike people living in a beautiful garden. Their machine is taken, and they search for it while uneasy signs suggest that something dark lives beneath the surface. The Escape episode was adapted from H. G. Wells's novel The Time Machine and broadcast on May 9, 1948, with Jeff Corey as Dudley and Eric Rolf as the father.
A laboratory in 1948, and the far future in the year 100,080, a garden valley above the earth and the tunnels beneath it.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
