==Cast and crew== [[Cheryl Burfield]], who played Liz Skinner, had begun her career as a child model. For her audition as Liz, she dressed in trousers and sported a pigtail to emphasise the tomboy nature of the character β an image that stuck for the duration of the series.<ref name="Robinson_1_27">Robinson, ''Timeslip (Part 1)'', p. 27.</ref> The character of Liz was originally written as a 13-year-old; however, when the 18-year-old Burfield was cast, Liz's age was upped to 15.<ref name="Robinson_1_27" /> ''Timeslip'' was the first major television role for [[Spencer Banks]], who played Simon Randall. Unlike his co-star, no change was needed to the age of his character; even though he was 15 at the time, he was able to pass as younger. Regarding the age difference between the two, Banks recalled that on their first meeting Cheryl Burfield remarked that she looked "positively matronly beside him".<ref name="Houldsworth_54">Houldsworth, ''Fantasy Flashback β Timeslip: The Time of the IceBox'', p. 54.</ref> However, over the course of production, Banks grew and matured and his voice broke. Banks went on to star in the children's series ''[[Tightrope (1972 TV series)|Tightrope]]'' (1972) (made by the same team behind ''Timeslip'') and ''[[The Georgian House]]'' (1976).

[[Derek Benfield]] later went on to appear in regular roles in ''[[The Brothers (1972 TV series)|The Brothers]]'' (1972β76) and ''[[Hetty Wainthropp Investigates]]'' (1996β98).
