It was originally invented by Anthony Horowitz who got the idea while writing an episode of '' Poirot ''. Despite having over eight million viewers on a regular basis it wasn't renewed after its first series, because according to Anthony Horowitz , " The show wasn't exactly cut. There was a chasm at the BBC created by the arrival of a new Head of Drama and our run ended at that time. There was no-one around to commission a new series...and so it just didn't happen." RULES OF TIME TRAVEL The rules of time travel in the series are as follows. #The time machine sends the traveller back in time by a random interval. Usually this is about a day but it may be as little as a few minutes or as much as a week (N.B. In the final episode of the series it is found that the length of time traveled back can be controlled by altering the length of the photon rods, this is discovered by the research company Webb Biotech, who have also invented a time machine). If you travel back twenty-four hours, you must relive those twenty-four hours all over again. #You must not meet yourself in the past. It is not clear what would result if you did, but the consequences are likely to be dire. #You cannot change the past. One of the results of this restriction is that the effects of the time traveller's journey back in time are already visible "before" the journey is made. #You cannot exist more than twice in the same time frame. If you try to go back a second time, the machine will simply fail. #When "in the past", you must get back to the time machine by the time you "left". If you don't, you will be trapped in a "loop of infinity". This is what happened to Holly Turner's father. # The time machine never travels into the future. Holly clearly points out to Jeff in the first episode "You can't travel into something that doesn't exist." CHARACTERS
