SYNOPSIS: During the second World War, three British sailors have psychic experiences about their
future
aboard the ship H.M.S Hood. One man hears a radio broadcast from the future revealing the ship's
destruction; the second man's mother has a recurring dream that her son is reported killed in action; and
the third sailor plays a Ouija board game which, strangely, indicates safety and a long life.
COMMENTARY: This episode experiments with a different story structure, offering three interwoven
psychic stories about a wartime disaster: the sinking of the H.M.S. Hood. Actor Robin Hughes appears
at the end of the episode to reveal that he was the third sailor transferred off the ship . . .
