Thanks for clearing up those titles. Your right about it's influence on other sources, not just cinematic either. The 200AD comic, ran an anthology strip called Tharg's Future Shocks, which with it's tales with a climatic twist ending to them, definitely seemed to owe some credit to it. Two movies which spring to mind from the sixties that have the feel of TZ to them would be Carnival Of Souls (1962) and Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun (1969). They both used ideas, that seemed to turn up frequently on the show.
