Doug and Tony are transported to a mine shaft and Tony finds that two hundred miners are trapped in gallery due to a cave-in. They seek help but nobody wants to come to the Emperor Mine since they believe the world will end in a couple of hours. Doug and Tony find that it is the late spring of 1910 and the Halley's Comet is passing near to Earth. Further the prominent Professor Ainsley believes that the comet will crash on Earth and the world is in panic. While Tony tries to convince the locals to help the men trapped in the mine, Doug tries to prove to the scientist that he is wrong in his assumption. Meanwhile The Time Tunnel complex is in danger affected by the magnetic field of the comet.
"End of the World" is a flawed episode but also an exciting adventure. The desperation of the emotional and impulsive Tony contrasts with the prudent attitude of Doug and is engaging to see their fight to save the miners. The situation in The Time Tunnel complex is also fantastic. However there is a great contradiction with the paradox of the encounter of Tony with Doug and Sergeant Jiggs in 1958, since they should recall the event ten years later. My vote is eight.
