Talk:Adam Adamant Lives!

message: Of course this is a fantasy but surely an Edwardian man would know what the following items were
- an underground train station
- an escalator
- an electric light
- a telephone
and yet he is baffled by all these in the opening episode. He's only been sent 60 years into the future, not 200!
From the main article; "Adam Adamant, named after the mineral adamantine, which is harder than diamond."
There is no such mineral.  This is factually incorrect.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.122.202 (talk) 22:17, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily, considering Adamant hails from 1902. In the case of the Underground Station (actually Leicester Square), escalators were not a feature until much later, so he may not have actually recognised it as an Underground station, especially since he would have been more familiar with the quite different sub-surface type. In the case of the electric light, what seems to confuse him more is that it is housed in an old-fashion oil lamp, and of course he was still disorientated at the time. As to the telephone, he would probably have been more familiar with the "candlestick" type, rather than the modern cradle handset in the flat. Nick Cooper 14:01, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Was the lost pilot the episode where Adamant goes into a McDonald's and asks the waitress "May I see your wine list, please?"
Too bad if that's been lost: it was the best line in the whole series. Paul Magnussen (talk) 21:54, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have removed this article from :Category:Television series set in 1966 and :Category:Television series set in 1967. These categories are for TV series set in this years, but not produced in them. For instance a series that was made in the 1980s, but set in the historical year of 1966 or a 1950s series set in the the future year of 1967 would go in this sort of category. As Adam Adamant Lives! was made and broadcast in  1966 and 1967 it does not belong in either of these categories Dunarc (talk) 22:39, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
