Sapphire and Steel

a.k.a. 'The Creature's Revenge'
'The Time Capsule'
'The Changeling'
'Animals'

As part of an experiment, a couple from one-thousand-five-hundred years in the future are living inside an invisible time capsule situated atop a modern-day block of flats. Time is resentful of the fact that in the couple's home time-zone, man is the only animal not extinct, and it begins to menace the couple and their baby, using animal-derived products, such as pillows and fur coats. Investigating the time disturbance, Sapphire and Steel find that time has caused the couple’s infant child to rapidly age into an adult, and he is given the ability power to accelerate or regress material objects. The two time agents are soon joined by fellow elemental Silver, and together they confront this changeling. But Silver is sent into the future. Steel negates the changeling by reverting it back into a baby, thereby returning Silver. The agents track down the source of the disturbance, an amalgamation of various types of organic matter hidden in one of the capsule’s walls, and Steel manages to terminate the experiment.
