A Hitch In Time (1978) -
This was a typically terrible children's film of the seventies. Like one of the after school specials that so many people take the p!ss out of. It reminded me of an old advert that was about Electric Pylons and a frisbee that had become stuck in one. It was supposed to show the dangers of going near them and this film was about as interesting as that and far less exciting.
Obviously the kids (Michael McVey & Pheona McLellan) were terrible actors and Jeff Rawle as the teacher, Sniffy Kemp, was dire. Thank God for Patrick Troughton, playing the nutty Professor Wagstaff, but even he couldn't save this one.
I tried to bare with it as I'd already turned off two other bad films, but I just couldn't watch it all the way through. Once the boy started fighting his teacher in the past it was too much to endure, which was a shame, because there could have been potential in the concept, but the delivery was astoundingly poor.
Unscored as Unfinished.
