This is not what Louis Robert Harold Stephens did when he spotted a trio of islands sitting in a park and doing nothing. By adopting these unwanted, unused, and unclaimed little islands that had paled into invisibility, he became the father of the nation.

Not ours! But of the Lagoan Isles. They still remain desolate and unoccupied, but maybe you can swim across and save the islands in distress? Surely talking about Europe? Well, you wish.

This large uninhabited area is not on the usual world map — it is below it. Much, much below it. In Antarctica. And the best part is, when you hammer your flag in, nobody is going to notice or care!

And the flag will just freeze there until the kingdom comes. Also, it is about time our winged friends get a neighbour. Who knows, you might spot or cuddle an emperor penguin there. Then you can officially say that you rub shoulders with royalty!

No, it is not just a prop. Or is it? The leader, Simon Stewart rules the mansion-sized kingdom with a firm hand. If you too want something like that, let the simmering pot of Brexit cool and then move to your own personal zone! Image Credit: Motmit for Wikimedia. For all travel enthusiasts and nature lovers, the Eel Pie Islands is a treat to visit. Tourists can access the islands only by boat or by a bridge.

I would never have 'clean wiped' that tape. Loose-Cannon 24 May Like some of the other comments I just watched this on BBC4. I had seen it when it was first shown, and again when it was shown with "Another Flip" which will be on in a few days as I write this , but as far as I know I haven't seen it since.

However, it made enough of an impression that I remembered most of the plot. I watched it with some trepidation; I was 18 in and I'm a lot more critical now than I was then. However, I found myself still drawn in. It's hard to say why exactly; the plot is not that original and is anyway fairly simple. Also it was obviously made on a shoestring, anyone expecting a Hollywood scifi blockbuster will be sadly disappointed.

In the end it's just very well-written and well-acted, at least by the principles, some of the minor characters are a bit less believable. And there are lots of small touches, if you listen carefully to the dialogue and watch the background.

I'm not ticking the spoiler box so I won't give the plot away, although this isn't really something for which spoilers are relevant, the pleasure is in the details. Suffice to say that it's basically a somewhat unusual love story, with a lot of humour and some science-fiction elements. Mark 16 March A young man from the future arrives by flying saucer in s London, and finds it an interesting experience.

This is enjoyable and interesting drama, rather than mainstream science fiction. Terry 20 May I've waited 20 years to watch this again. I couldn't remember the title, or details of the plot.. Something about a time-traveller, an enchanting setting and an important philosophical story. I was about 10 at the time and I only remembered that it and it's sequel shown a couple of years later had a great effect on me as a child. I dreamed about it for years and would smile in fond remembrance.

Fast forward 20 years and watching it again on BBC4, I was at first disappointed because it had aged so badly, I thought. But eventually this charming story of a man chasing his goals, fighting authority and finding love reminded me exactly why I fell in love with this play for today. It's charm lies not in the sci-fi effects, blue peter anyone? Thank you BBC Timbo 11 March The story which took time travel, a genre which was and always has been popular with science fiction writers, to a new level.

Concentrating on the characters in the story and an excellent story it is , rather than the sci-fi elements themselves made this compelling viewing. It actually made the science fiction elements appear to be more 'real'. I'm sure if I were to see it again it would seem a little dated, but at the time and a few years later when it was repeated as a prologue to the inferior, but nonetheless interesting and worth watching sequel 'Another Flip for Dominick' it was way ahead of anything else on the screen small or large.

Needless to say, I failed to complete my French homework and received some extra work to do as a punishment - but it was worth it. A memorable play for today geoff b 9 August Quite agree with the comments posted, a very entertaining concept.

Not so sure it would be dated now. Managed to record both episodes on the re-run but sadly misplaced the tape some years ago. Still makes me smile when someone bumps into live musicians in the pub - still waiting for holographic performers to be available! Marvellous piece of entertainment. It would make a great Hollywood movie with perhaps Jim Carey as Dominick? Any other suggestions? It is a well written piece which, although showing signs of age, still holds up as a feel good drama.

Peter Firth is now an overweight ageing actor but then again are'nt we all! With some of the dross re makes on the go recently this would make an excellent rom com with a bit of sci fi thrown in; an excellent winning combination surely. It does seem a shame that in this age of crash bang wallop sci fi we do not make thoughtful pieces such as this any more. In reply to terrym: That'll be 20p mate. I have no pees! In reply to terrym: Of course, he's in Spooks now, hadn't really twigged.

Particularly remember liking the theme song- 'Are there somewhere islands over the horizon, hidden by the morning mists forever out of reach' Don't know who sang it though?
