An internet search gives lots of hits such as this one:

"This was a science documentary about time that opened with Dudley

on piano and continued with a disembodied HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE

GALAXY-style voice explaining the ins and outs of time and its

various concepts to him in easy to understand fashion. Isaac Asimov

also appears in a skit to demonstrate the impossibilities of time

travel."



Originally a one-off documentary on UK Television, it was later shown

on PBS in the States in the NOVA stream.



60 minutes

24 April 1979
