In "Assignment 1," sometimes known as "Escape Through a Crack in Time," a cozy, isolated bourgeois household is invaded by the horrors of history when a nursery rhyme opens a time corridor that snatches away the parents, and only interdimensional beings with a Mulder-and-Scully-like thing going on, sent by a semi-transparent helmet floating through space, can save the day. But then a time monster's flashlight babies start making some really weird things happen, and, well... we try to explain.\r\n \r\nTime (Travel) Table\r\n0:00 Introductory ramblings and Sapphire and Steel\r\n1:36:00 Mailbag\r\n \r\nWe've got a time-Tumblr!
