Out of the Unknown (1966) ★ Lambda 1 (S2E3)

Lambda 1 (S2E3): Why take the Great Circle route to Australia when you can tunnel through the very molecules of the solid earth itself in a TAU-mode shuttle? When a routine TAU-shuttle becomes entombed in solid rock miles under the earth, the only means of rescue may be the wildly experimental LAMBDA-mode shuttle, and even its creator has no idea how it will behave, or whether its pilot can keep his sanity during the rescue mission. It features Ronald Lewis, Sebastian Breaks, Charles Tingwell, and Kate Story. Out of the Unknown is a classic British BBC television science fiction and horror anthology drama series, which was broadcast between 1965 and 1971.
