Funny Silliness
2 January 2010
Doug and Tony are transported to 1915, in Italy, during a German bombardment of the villa of Count Enrico Galba. The time travelers seek shelter in the cellar that caves in and exposes the grave of the Roman Emperor Nero. When a German soldier comes to the cellar, he is stabbed by a mysterious force. Doug and Tony escape from the German soldiers and find a secret passage through the wall that leads them to the manor of Count Galba. They are imprisoned in a room and sooner they discover that the ghost of Nero is seeking revenge against Count Galba, who is the descendant of an enemy of Nero. Meanwhile the Time Tunnel personnel tries to help Tony, who is possessed by the ghost of Nero, and the ghost travels to the presents days, jeopardizing the facility.

"The Ghost of Nero" is a silly but funny episode of The Time Tunnel. Doug and Tony arrive in World War I and face not only a ghost, but German soldiers that do not execute them despite their reaction. Stock footages are used again but I was not able to identify from which feature. Eduardo Ciannelli has a theatrical performance with his rapture. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "O Túnel do Tempo" ("The Time Tunnel")
