Trying again.

On the timeline Carter-2 (were president Carter is re-elected in 1980, present year 1987) the BBC followed very different policies about preserving it's TV programs. From 1935 on it was official BBC policy that at sometime in the future someone would invent a televisual equivelent of the phonograph. Thus any film was potentially valuable. Thus such British TV programs as Doctor Who, The Avengers (and its earlier incarnation Police Surgeon), and Z-Cars, were preserved in full.

On timeline Null-Hitler-3 (were Adolf Hitler choked to death on a fish bone in the spring of 1932 and the S.A. gained temporary power in Germany, present year 1942) almost no prominant or interesting European films of the pre-1940 period have been lost. Complete pristine prints of films like Metropolis and Rules of the Game are availible.

On timeline Wallace-1 (Wallace becomes President in 1945 and Stalin dies of Heart Attack [possibly with Barria's aid], local year 1973) Fredrick Whertham is caught up in a scandal at work and his book Seduction of the Innocent is never published. The comics craze goes on unabated. Leading to a period of truely amazing and rich literary and visual artistic expression in the USA in all genres.
