I really enjoyed The Trouble With Templeton: it's a little more quirky and unpredictable than some of the earlier episodes in this season, plus it's got some really wild '20s dancing courtesy of Pippa Scott, who plays Laura, first wife of renowned Broadway star Booth Templeton (Brian Aherne).
The episode starts with Booth, now advancing in years and in a loveless second marriage, recalling how he was only truly happy with Laura, who died when she was just twenty-five. Arriving late for the first rehearsal of a new play, and angering the director, Booth leaves the theatre to inexplicably find himself back in 1927.
Calling in at the speakeasy he frequented when he was younger, Booth is reunited with Laura and his old pal Barney Fluegel (Charles Carlson), but their unfriendly behaviour makes him leave. Booth returns to the theatre, and upon entering, finds himself back in the present day. When he reads the papers that he had snatched out of Laura's hands, he discovers that it is a script, and realises that she and Barney were acting mean in order to stop him from yearning for the past and make him live in the moment.
With great performances from all, a neat plot, and that crazy swinging dance by Laura (with Barney joining in as well), The Trouble With Templeton is a welcome return to form for The Twilight Zone.
