As far I remember it was the first time that the screenwriters split a main plot and a sub-plot in the same episode, ours friends landed in the middle of the famous battle of Khartoum at Sudan in 1883 between British soldiers and Arabians, however it was just the sub plot which mentioned above, the main plot is about an alien invaders that were there hidden in a cave inside the mountain on the outskirts, an upscale installation assemble in such place aiming for takes over the still delayed mankind at its time, their first goal is actually hits London firstly.
Actually the Battle of Khartoum is just a backdrop to expose a possible alien invasion ongoing, Tony and Doug split a quickly time only, outside of the alien complex Tony struggles to convince the British Officer Henderson (John Crawford) that he wasn't an Arabian spy at all, meanwhile Doug is trapped inside the mountain, when the Time Tunnel complex tries to intervene to the aid of ours heroes the Alien leader "Kobik", I mean (Kevin Hagen) he wasn't have a name in the episode, just coming from Aristos planet, in retaliatory measure he sent a sort of bomb to there, Time tunnel's crew there just a short time before the alien device blow up the entire complex.
The aliens have those infamous stereotyped look, big head, wide eyes and all kind of drivel already properly labelled by Hollywood and others science-fiction's magazines for good, the episode has similarities with "Visitors Beyond the Stars", intriguingly the aliens aware over the futuristic Earth's time tunnel complex in far-off 19th century where the story takes place, looking outwardly it sounds paradoxical at least!!!
Thanks for reading.
