Hi Rumpole,


The Twilight Zone is before my time - but I have watched a few episodes since (they were released on DVD too)

Here's a good rundown of doppelgangers in popular science fiction: http://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/doppelgangers The earliest movie with doppelgangers that I remember seeing is "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956). However, the best one I've seen is a British movie, the appropriately named "Doppelganger" (1969), starring Ian Hendry, Herbert Lom, Lyn Loring, Roy Thinnes and Patrick Wymark.

Here's a glowing review of the series - from the Sydney Morning Herald.

Yesterday was Elisabeth Sladen's birthday. Amazingly, she would be 73 years old if still alive. Fond memories of her Whovian life.

I thought The Cry was great. Looking forward to watching the next three eps. I think the poor lass is being set up by her partner and his ex. All planned from the beginning (i.e. the affair, having a baby, the partner and ex running off with the baby, and accusing Joanne of murdering it).

the ex wife had a shovel in her car, and later turned up at the shop with dirty hands.

looks a bit too obvious?

Yes, I agree. She was probably digging up veggies from her veggie patch for a meal that night. She was in the shop to buy extras for the meal. The bloke was in a real hurry to get back to Australia to see his daughter, but why put the partner and baby through all that trouble of a long flight to a distant country? We are told that the baby is only 3 months, 18 days old - awfully young to go through that experience. Yep, definitely think the bloke is up to no good. The ex-wife probably can't have any more children, so she and her ex-husband have planned a surrogate birth, except the surrogate mother doesn't know she is one and has been set up. That's my take on what's happening, anyway.

It all sounds like a cross between the Chamberlain and Kellie Lane cases.

This all seems very commercial of the ABC. Why don't they just place the ABC newsletters on the ABC News website and people can just download if interested. https://www.abc.net.au/news/newsletters/
