[Insert title and release date] The Infinite Worlds of H.G. Wells - Night 3 is the third installment of the science fiction anthology series which aired in the early 2000s. This episode is directed by Gareth Carrivick and adapted by John Kane from the story "The New Accelerator" by H.G. Wells. The plot revolves around a group of scientists who have developed a new experimental serum that dramatically accelerates the speed of human perception, allowing them to operate at a much faster speed than they were previously capable of. However, as they push the limits of their newfound abilities, they begin to notice strange and unsettling changes to their reality.
The main character, Alan (Tom Ward), is a young scientist who has been working on the serum with his colleagues Dr. Frobisher (Barry Stanton) and Professor Steinhäuser (Gareth Carrivick). After testing the serum on themselves, they quickly realize the extent of its power, as they are suddenly able to read entire books in mere seconds and carry out complex scientific experiments in the blink of an eye.
As they experiment further with the serum, they begin to experience strange distortions in their perception of time and reality. Doors and walls seem to disappear and reappear at random, and they become increasingly disorientated and confused. They also start to notice that their perceptions are becoming more and more subjective, with each of them experiencing their own unique version of reality.
Despite these unsettling developments, Alan becomes obsessed with the serum and continues to push the limits of what he is capable of. However, his experiments soon take a dark turn as he begins to experience strange and terrifying hallucinations, and the line between reality and hallucination becomes increasingly blurred.
As the situation spirals out of control, Alan and his colleagues must try to regain control of their perceptions and find a way to reverse the effects of the serum before it's too late.
Overall, The Infinite Worlds of H.G. Wells - Night 3 is an engaging and thought-provoking look at the potential dangers of scientific experimentation and the complexities of human perception. With strong performances from Tom Ward and Barry Stanton and expert direction from Gareth Carrivick, it is a worthy addition to the Wellsian canon and a must-see for fans of science fiction and horror alike.
