4.0 out of 5 stars Enormous fun, 26 Sep 2003
A brave attempt to recreate the style, pace and sense of fun of the old ITC series ('Strange Report' in particular), this short-lived BBC series has all the elements for terrific entertainment.
That it doesn't wholly succeed is, I'm afraid, mostly down to the women involved. The scripts and direction are never less than adequate, the production values above average but Johnston is on sleep mode throughout and Annett seems to have had a full body charisma bypass.
Thank God for Michael French who brings his usual urbane style and smouldering sexuality to the often belief-streching proceedings. People criticise the use of ex-soap stars, but the point here is that French IS a star, and one of the few we have in this country.
The disc is fine, but a commentary from French (and I suppose Annett) would have made the package even more attractive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Crime Traveller, 17 May 2003
By A Customer
A good light-hearted bit of detective fiction with a twist. Slightly predictable, but nevertheless an enjoyable 50 minutes per episode! Well worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely great !, 15 April 2003
By Caïn (Haute Normandie, France) - See all my reviews
You may have thought that after "The Final Countdown", the "Back to the Future" trilogy and the American TV series "Quantum Leap", nobody would bet on the success of a new time travel fiction. I, too, thought that the genre was definitely hackneyed.

But we were all wrong. In only one season of eight episodes, "Crime Traveller" exploits the sci-fi concept of time travel mixing it with the whodunnit, and it does so extremely well. The actors are just perfect, and the plots of each episode are tremendous !

Obviously, you have to get used to the "scientific reality" of time travel through the episodes, but as they are so well written, you won't help thinking : "oh my God, if that was true !"

As for the DVD, the extras are very good. I can see only one drawback : no subtitles for the hearing impaired.

If you like police fictions and/or time travel stories, buy this DVD, you won't regret it.
