In answer to 'Obscure Britishism'

It is a very common phrase in Britain, not obscure, it referred to the few traditional analogue television channels rather than the many digital channels that later existed, it referred to them in that way when digital started. Now it refers to those of the all digital channels that used to be those few analogue channels before analogue broadcasting ended. Middle More Rider (talk) 23:27, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dates given in series

While the the series was vaguely set during the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant (1869–77). there were episodes that gave a more precise date.

"The Night of the Glowing Corpse" is set during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1.
"The Night of the Eccentrics" takes place four years after the execution in 1867 of Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico.
In "The Night of the Brain" Artemus Gordon shows James West a newspaper dated July 12, 1872. West states, "July 12, that's an interesting date, but it happens to be tomorrow." After the events described happen they again get tomorrow's newspaper and we see the date: July 14, 1872.
"The Night of the Lord of Limbo" takes place seven years after the end of the Civil War, making it 1872.
"The Night of the Whirring Death" opens with the caption San Francisco 1874.
In "The Night of the Flaming Ghost", West says, "If the real John Brown had lived he'd be almost 75 years old by now." Brown was born May 9, 1800.
In "The Night of the Arrow", a cavalry officer resigns his commission as of April 6, 1874.
In "The Night of the Avaricious Actuary", the heading of a letter shown on screen is dated 1875.
In "The Night of the Underground Terror", the sadistic commandant of a POW camp is said to have escaped justice for ten years, presumably from the end of the war in 1865.
In "The Night that Terror Stalked the Town", Loveless has a headstone prepared for West, showing his birthdate as July 2, 1842--174.99.238.22 (talk) 14:13, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
