30 In the 1946 movie <em>A Matter of Life and Death</em>
31 (U.S. title <em>Stairway to Heaven</em>)
32 there is a reference to British Double Summer Time.
33 The time does not play a large part in the plot;
34 it's just a passing reference to the time when one of the
35 characters was supposed to have died (but didn't).

41 The 1953 railway comedy movie <em>The Titfield Thunderbolt</em> includes a
42 play on words on British Double Summer Time. Valentine's wife wants
43 him to leave the pub and asks him, "Do you know what time it is?"
44 And he, happy where he is, replies: "Yes, my love. Summer double time."

51 The premise of the 1999 caper movie <em>Entrapment</em> involves computers
52 in an international banking network being shut down briefly at
53 midnight in each time zone to avoid any problems at the transition
54 from the year 1999 to 2000 in that zone. (Hmmmm.) If this shutdown
55 is extended by 10 seconds, it will create a one-time opportunity for
56 a gigantic computerized theft. To achieve this, at one location the
57 crooks interfere with the microwave system supplying time signals to
58 the computer, advancing the time by 0.1 second each minute over the
59 last hour of 1999. (So this movie teaches us that 0.1 &times; 60 = 10.)

66 One mustn't forget the
67 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4EUTMPuvHo">trailer</a>
68 (2014; 2:23) for the movie <em>Daylight Saving</em>.

71 <h2>TV episodes</h2>
72 <ul>
73 <li>
74 An episode of <em>The Adventures of Superman</em> entitled "The Mysterious
75 Cube," first aired 1958-02-24, had Superman convincing the controllers
76 of the Arlington Time Signal to broadcast ahead of actual time;
77 doing so got a crook trying to be declared dead to
78 emerge a bit too early from the titular enclosure.
79 </li>
80 <li>
81 The 1960s ITC television series <em>The Prisoner</em> included an episode
82 entitled "The Chimes of Big Ben" in which our protagonist tumbled to
83 the fraudulent nature of a Poland-to-England escape upon hearing "Big
84 Ben" chiming on Polish local time.
85 </li>
86 <li>
87 The series <em>Seinfeld</em> included an episode entitled "The Susie," first
88 broadcast 1997-02-13, in which Kramer decides that daylight saving time
89 isn't coming fast enough, so he sets his watch ahead an hour.
90 </li>
91 <li>
92 The "20 Hours in America" episode of <em>The West Wing</em>,
93 first aired 2002-09-25, contained a <a
94 href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J1NHzQ1sgc">scene</a> that
95 saw White House staffers stranded in Indiana; they thought they had time to
96 catch Air Force One but were done in by intra-Indiana local time changes.
97 </li>
98 <li>
99 "In what time zone would you find New York City?" was a $200 question on
100 the 1999-11-13 United States airing of <em>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?</em>,
101 and "In 1883, what industry led the movement to divide the U.S. into four time
102 zones?" was a $32,000 question on the 2001-05-23 United States airing of
103 the same show. At this rate, the million-dollar time-zone
104 question should have been asked 2002-06-04.
105 </li>
106 <li>
107 A private jet's mid-flight change of time zones distorts Alison Dubois'
108 premonition in the "We Had a Dream" episode of <em>Medium</em>
109 (originally aired 2007-02-28).
110 </li>
111 <li>
112 In the <em>30 Rock</em> episode "Anna Howard Shaw Day"
113 (first broadcast 2010-02-11),
114 Jack Donaghy's date realizes that a Geneva-to-New-York business phone call
115 received in the evening must be fake given the difference in local times.
116 </li>
117 <li>
118 In the "Run by the Monkeys" episode of <em>Da Vinci's Inquest</em>
119 (first broadcast 2002-11-17),
120 a witness in a five-year-old fire case realizes they may not have set
121 their clock back when daylight saving ended on the day of the fire,
122 introducing the possibility of an hour when arson might have occurred.
123 </li>
124 <li>
125 In "The Todd Couple" episode of <em>Outsourced</em> (first aired 2011-02-10),
126 Manmeet sets up Valentine's Day teledates for 6:00 and 9:00pm;
127 since one is with a New Yorker and the other with a San Franciscan,
128 hilarity ensues.
129 (Never mind that this should be 7:30am in Mumbai, yet for some reason the show
130 proceeds as though it's also mid-evening there.)
131 </li>
132 <li>
133 In the "14 Days to Go"/"T Minus..." episode of
134 <em>You, Me and the Apocalypse</em>
135 (first aired 2015-11-11 in the UK, 2016-03-10 in the US),
136 the success of a mission to deal with a comet
137 hinges on whether or not Russia observes daylight saving time.
138 (In the US, the episode first aired in the week before the switch to DST.)
139 </li>
140 <li>
141 "The Lost Hour", <em>Eerie, Indiana</em>, episode 10, NBC, 1991-12-01.
142 Despite Indiana's then-lack of DST, Marshall changes his clock with
143 unusual consequences.
144 </li>
145 <li>
146 "Time Tunnel", <em>The Adventures of Pete &amp; Pete</em>, season 2, episode 5,
147 Nickelodeon, 1994-10-23.
148 The two Petes travel back in time an hour on the day that DST ends.
149 </li>
150 <li>
151 "King-Size Homer", <em>The Simpsons</em>, episode 135, Fox, 1995-11-05.
152 Homer, working from home, remarks "8:58, first
153 time I've ever been early for work. Except for all those daylight
154 savings days. Lousy farmers."
155 </li>
156 <li>
157 "Tracks", <em>The Good Wife</em>, season 7, episode 12,
158 CBS, 2016-01-17.
159 The applicability of a contract hinges on the
160 time zone associated with a video timestamp.

164 <ul>
165 <li>
166 Jules Verne, <em>Around the World in Eighty Days</em>
167 (<em>Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours</em>), 1873.
168 Wall-clock time plays a central role in the plot.
169 European readers of the 1870s clearly held the U.S. press in
170 deep contempt; the protagonists cross the U.S. without once
171 reading a paper.
172 Available versions include
173 <a href="http://www.literature.org/Works/Jules-Verne/eighty">an English
174 translation</a>, and
175 <a href="http://fourmilab.ch/etexts/www/tdm80j">the original French</a>
176 "with illustrations from the original 1873 French-language edition".
177 </li>

180 A fast-paced comedy about love and loneliness as the clocks turn back.
181 </li>
182 <li>
183 Umberto Eco, <em>The Island of the Day Before</em>
184 (<em>L'isola del giorno prima</em>), 1994.
185 "...the story of a 17th century Italian nobleman trapped near an island

200 "Gloom, Gloom, Go Away" by Walter Kirn appeared on page 106 of <em>Time</em>
