# Time Express

Time Express is an American fantasy drama television series that aired on CBS from April 26 to May 17, 1979, and later syndicated. The series was created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts who had both previously been involved in the creation of Charlie's Angels and Mannix. The series ran for four episodes before being cancelled.

## Plot

The series is in anthology format, similar to other dramatic television series on American networks of the time such as The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and to a lesser extent; NBC's Supertrain which premiered roughly two months earlier. Each episode consists of two tales featuring guest actors. The featured characters would receive an invitation from "The Head of The Line" to travel to some time and place in the past where a crucial point in their lives had occurred. They would arrive at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal and go to the "Special Services" desk, where the ticket clerk (Woodrow Parfrey) would direct them to "Gate Y, Track 13" (which was listed as "closed" on the public departure board).
On board the train (operated by Engineer Callahan (William Phipps) and conductor R. J. Walker (James Reynolds), who, in the initial episode were revealed to have been killed in a derailment on the "Allegheny Flyer" in 1886), they would be welcomed by hosts Jason and Margaret Winters (the husband and wife team of Vincent Price and Coral Browne) who would warn them of the risks of travelling to the past. On arrival, they would relive the period, potentially changing events, and then return by train to the present, where the implications of the changes would be revealed.

# Colin Brake

Colin Brake (born 1962) is an English television writer and script editor best known for his work for the BBC on programmes such as Bugs and EastEnders, or Greenborne. He has also written spin-offs from the BBC series Doctor Who. He lives and works in Leicester.

## Work

Brake began working on EastEnders in 1985 as a writer and script editor, being partly responsible for the introduction of the soap's first Asian characters Saeed and Naima Jeffery. From there, he went on to work as "script executive" on the popular Saturday night action adventure programme Bugs, before moving to Channel 5 in 1997 to be "script associate" on their evening soap Family Affairs.
In the early 2000s, Brake wrote episodes of the daytime soaps Doctors and the revival of Crossroads.
Away from television, Brake had his first Doctor Who related writing published as part of Virgin Publishing's Decalog short story collection in 1996. He then had his first novel Escape Velocity published by BBC Books in February 2001 as part of their Eighth Doctor Adventures range based on the television series Doctor Who. At the time, Brake was quoted as saying how appropriate it was that he was now writing for Doctor Who, as he was briefly considered as Eric Saward's replacement as script editor on the show - a job that eventually went to Andrew Cartmel instead.
Brake followed Escape Velocity with the Past Doctor Adventure The Colony of Lies in July 2003, and then with the audio adventure Three's a Crowd from Big Finish Productions in 2005. His New Series Adventures novel The Price of Paradise was released in September 2006. He has also written an audio for their Bernice Summerfield range, and a short story for their Short Trips range.

# Heckler (film)

Heckler is a 2007 documentary film about hecklers.
The film is hosted by actor and comedian Jamie Kennedy, who was inspired to create the movie after feeling hurt by the overwhelmingly poor reception of his 2005 film Son of the Mask, in which reviewers and fans of the original 1994 film attacked Kennedy personally rather than reviewing the film. Interviewees include comedians Louie Anderson, Kathy Griffin, Bobby Slayton, Patton Oswalt, Joe Rogan, Arsenio Hall, Carrot Top, Maria Bamford and George Wallace; medical doctor Drew Pinsky; writer Christopher Hitchens; political commentator Dennis Prager; producer Peter Guber; directors Joel Schumacher, George Lucas; film critics Leonard Maltin and Devin Faraci, director and musician Rob Zombie; and singer Jewel Kilcher.
Heckler also includes footage of much-derided filmmaker Uwe Boll's boxing matches with several of his most vocal critics.

## Release

Heckler premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Festival. The film never received a wide or limited release, going direct to DVD.

## Reception

Heckler received mixed reviews. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 52% approval rating with 4 critic reviews. Jester Journal spoke negatively about Heckler, calling it a "misfiring attempt to take on hecklers and critics." Joel Keller from HuffPost said that the film became more about "Jamie's revenge" and called it a disappointment. Mother Jones called the film coarse, crass, yet surprisingly smart. Adam Renkovish from CultureMass called the film a "self-indulgent bait and switch."
