Among other things, it explains 15Arizona's daylight-saving enclaves quite well.</li> 16<li> 17"<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY">The Problem 18with Time & Timezones – Computerphile</a>" (2013; 10:12) delves 19into problems that programmers have with timekeeping.</li> 20<li> 21"<a href="https://www.rferl.org/a/28375932.html">All The Time In The World: 22Explaining The Mysteries Of Time Zones</a>" (2017; 2:15) 23briefly says why France has more time zones than Russia. 24<li> 25"<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRz-Dl60Lfc">Why Denmark used to be 26.04 seconds behind the world</a>" (2019; 6:29) explains why the United Kingdom 27— and, once, Denmark — haven't always exactly followed their own 28laws about civil time. 29<li> 30"About Time" (1962; 59 minutes) is part of the 31Bell Science extravaganza, with Frank Baxter, Richard Deacon, and Les Tremayne. 32Its advisor was Richard Feynman, and it was voiced by Mel Blanc. 33(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154110/">IMDb entry</a>.)</li> 34</ul> 35<h2>Movies</h2> 36<ul> 37<li> 38In the 1946 movie <em>A Matter of Life and Death</em> 39(U.S. title <em>Stairway to Heaven</em>) 40there is a reference to British Double Summer Time. 41The time does not play a large part in the plot; 42it's just a passing reference to the time when one of the 43characters was supposed to have died (but didn't). 44(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038733/">IMDb entry.</a>) 45(Dave Cantor) 46<li> 47The 1953 railway comedy movie <em>The Titfield Thunderbolt</em> includes a 48play on words on British Double Summer Time. Valentine's wife wants 49him to leave the pub and asks him, "Do you know what time it is?" 50And he, happy where he is, replies: "Yes, my love. Summer double time." 51(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046436/">IMDb entry.</a>) 52(Mark Brader, 2009-10-02) 53</li> 54<li> 55The premise of the 1999 caper movie <em>Entrapment</em> involves computers 56in an international banking network being shut down briefly at 57midnight in each time zone to avoid any problems at the transition 58from the year 1999 to 2000 in that zone. (Hmmmm.) If this shutdown 59is extended by 10 seconds, it will create a one-time opportunity for 60a gigantic computerized theft. To achieve this, at one location the 61crooks interfere with the microwave system supplying time signals to 62the computer, advancing the time by 0.1 second each minute over the 63last hour of 1999. (So this movie teaches us that 0.1 × 60 = 10.) 64(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137494/">IMDb entry.</a>) 65(Mark Brader, 2009-10-02) 66</li> 67<li> 68One mustn't forget the 69<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4EUTMPuvHo">trailer</a> 70(2014; 2:23) for the movie <em>Daylight Saving</em>. 71</li> 72</ul> 73<h2>TV episodes</h2> 74<ul> 75<li> 76An episode of <em>The Adventures of Superman</em> entitled "The Mysterious 77Cube," first aired 1958-02-24, had Superman convincing the controllers 78of the Arlington Time Signal to broadcast ahead of actual time; 79doing so got a crook trying to be declared dead to 80emerge a bit too early from the titular enclosure. 81(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0506628/">IMDb entry</a>.) 82</li> 83<li> 84"<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chimes_of_Big_Ben">The Chimes 85of Big Ben</a>", <em>The Prisoner</em>, episode 2, ITC, 1967-10-06. 86Our protagonist tumbles to 87the fraudulent nature of a Poland-to-England escape upon hearing "Big 88Ben" chiming on Polish local time. 89(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0679185/">IMDb entry.</a>) 90</li> 91<li> 92"The Susie", <em>Seinfeld</em>, season 8, episode 15, NBC, 1997-02-13. 93Kramer decides that daylight saving time 94isn't coming fast enough, so he sets his watch ahead an hour. 95</li> 96<li> 97"20 Hours in America", <em>The West Wing</em>, season 4, episodes 1–2, 982002-09-25, contained a <a 99href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J1NHzQ1sgc">scene</a> that 100saw White House staffers stranded in Indiana; they thought they had time to 101catch Air Force One but were done in by intra-Indiana local time changes. 102</li> 103<li> 104"In what time zone would you find New York City?" was a $200 question on 105the 1999-11-13 United States airing of <em>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?</em>, 106and "In 1883, what industry led the movement to divide the U.S. into four time 107zones?" was a $32,000 question on the 2001-05-23 United States airing of 108the same show.
