End of the World is a revelation in the unused cues. The sintgers representing the coment are amazing. Maybe not Irwin Allen Style Dramatic, but really wonderfully interesting. Because so much of that music was replaced, the episodic titles and the cliffhanger music being thematic is totally lost.
The only score on this album that doesn't really ring my chimes is The Day the Sky Fell In. Paul Sawtell isn't the greatest fit for this series. It's fine music, but even my wife thought I was listening to Voyage... Land of the Giants worked well for him, though.

I agree with all of you concerning Sawtell’s lackluster score.
On the other hand, I'm truly impressed by Lyn Murray’s powerful body of work.

From what we've been told, the entire series will be represented by the time volume 2 comes out, which makes me smile.
Lyn Murray's work is amazing and I really love the stuff that they didn't include in the episodes. The "comet" theme in End of the World is a revelation. Without that music, you had no idea that the cliffhanger music was actually thematic. He picks up the theme in the episode proper and ends the episode with it. Because of the music edit in the home video and wide syndication release, we don't hear the theme because it originally had the announcer saying "The Time Tunnel will be back in a moment!" That was to keep us in place for the previews: "this is the incredible TIME TUNNEL in the weeks to come!" Naturally, with the previews missing from the prints now, the announcement was clipped.
Lyn Murray but a lot of thought into this scores for the series, only to see them carved up and the careful consideration mooted. Granted, the general audience never would have noticed, but just the same, it's a shame it got lost in the editing. This is another reason why these releases are so great.

In that image, Stuart Whitman looks like a Supermarionation character!
Troy Tempest was modelled after James Garner...
Got to get in here before the other Brits and say it's actually Scott Tracy from Thunderbirds (not Troy from Stingray).
Just a correction. As you were.
Mind, I always thought there was some odd kinship between the US Irwin Allen and the UK Gerry Anderson. Just something in the water I guess...

Volume #2 coming in August!
And Jeff Bond says (on Facebook): “ Volume 2 of The Time Tunnel features Leith Stevens’ amazing “Revenge of the Gods,” a full-blown sword-and-sandals epic score for television as well as his intriguing French Revolution “Reign of Terror” score and a complete version of George Duning’s tremendously exciting “The Death Merchant,” along with Mullendore’s Custer score “Massacre” and Robert Drasnin’s Lincoln conspiracy music for “The Death Trap”—great stuff!”
I sure am excited for more Leith Stevens!

As far as I know, VOL 1 is the only release that will have featured John Williams because he didn't do that many episodes?
Looking forward to see what is on this upcoming VOL 2!
