The girls wish for their remote control to work -- of course, Adil (Jordan Metcalfe) messes things up, so the remote now controls everything it is pointed at, including people.
It is Philip's birthday, but everyone seems to have forgotten. Philip tries dropping hints, but no-one notices, until he tells them. The girls are not impressed, pointing out that he told them not to make a fuss, which Philip seems not to remember. Max, though, has given him tickets for the big match, and off he sets. The girls have a couple of hours to set up the surprise party they had planned for him, when they intend to give him their surprise present, the family's home movies transferred to DVD. They decide to watch the DVD, just to make sure it's okay, but the batteries in the DVD remote are dead, and there are no replacements. The girls are forced to wish for the remote to work, and, of course, Adil messes things up, so that the remote now controls everything it is pointed at, including, or especially, people. Philip, finding that Max has given him tickets for the wrong day, returns, and discovers the surprise party plans, but the girls use the remote to keep him from finding out about it. They also use it to make sure the preparations for the party are finished as quickly as possible. Max and Caroline turn up for the party, and Adil takes them upstairs to teach them the Balamkadaar Sand Movement Extravaganza. The remote begins to malfunction, and Philip gets ejected from the house. He eventually manages to get back home, though, and the party is a big success. Written by Bennett Arron. Directed by Phil Ox.

Emma accidentally wishes the family into the future where androids reign supreme over humans. Philip invents a sandwich maker that cuts the crusts off the sandwiches. Emma isn't impressed, though, she's more interested in the last ever episode of her favourite programme, Barbie On The Beach. She's got everything ready in front of the television, and can't wait for the programme to begin. Actually, she's got two and a half hours to wait. Sophie is preparing for a meeting of the Debating Club. Her clothes, of course, must co-ordinate with her subjects, green for envy, and blue for depression. But Sophie thinks Emma has borrowed her blue headband, so sets out, with a reluctant Emma's help, to find it. While searching in the loft they discover Adil, who has come up to the loft to relax. Adil finds a jigsaw, and sets about completing it. Emma gets bored with searching, and wishes it was time for her favourite programme to begin. Adil complies, he did, after all, pass his time travel exam. Or was he late for his time travel exam? The girls return downstairs, and notice changes to the living room. Most of the objects have descriptive labels on them, and there are rope barriers everywhere. The house has moved four hundred years into the future. The microchip in Philip's sandwich maker has mutated to become the Android Emperor Ð "All hail the Android Emperor" Ð and robots rule the Earth. All humans are in zoos. And the Norton House has become a museum, in honour of the man who invented the sandwich maker, complete with an Android Philip and an android tour guide who show visiting robots around the house. Fearing they will be put in a zoo, the girls and the real Philip pretend to be androids, but they're soon discovered and are forced to hide in the loft, where they find Adil, who has only just finished his jigsaw. The girls wish to be taken back to the past, and Adil obliges. He sends further back in time than he should have done... With Dallas Campbell as Android Phil and Leah Fletcher as the Android Tour Guide. Written by Bennett Arron. Directed by Jean-Francois Didelot.

SF, Cyberpunk
A photographer has been given the assignment of photographing old futuristic architecture. Written by William Gibson
A photographer has been given the assignment of photographing old futuristic architecture. This architecture, although largely forgotten at the time of the story, embodied for the generation that built it their concept of the future. The eponymous "Gernsback" alludes to Hugo Gernsback, a pulp magazine science fiction publisher during the early 20th century. By using this title Gibson contrasts the future envisaged during Gernsback's style of science fiction and the present, "cyberpunk" era that Gibson was establishing. The story was published in Gibson's Burning Chrome anthology and in the anthology Mirrorshades, edited by Bruce Sterling. "The Gernsback Continuum" was adapted during 1993 as Tomorrow Calling, a short TV film by Tim Leandro for Film4 Productions.[1] Originally shown on Channel 4, the film was also presented at the British Film Festival, 4_10 October 1996.
