TV series, man and woman with a time machine, liquid crystal












1















I'd like to know what this TV series was, if anyone recognises it. I remember watching it when I was quite small, so it was on in the 1990s, in England. Of course, that doesn't prove that it was made in the 1990s in England. There was a man and a woman and they had a time machine.

I remember one episode where the "liquid crystal" in the time machine failed and the man said, "Well, that's the end of that". The woman said, "Can't we get a new liquid crystal?" and he said, "Not unless you know where we can get twenty thousand pounds". (I think he said pounds, not dollars, but I could be wrong.) So then they go off to win the lottery (presumably the liquid crystal still had at least one more trip left in it), but naturally things don't go according to plan.
There were (what seemed to me at the time) amazing graphics when they travelled through time, of them hurtling along a tunnel with scenes from different times hurtling past.
Can anyone solve the mystery?
