Valentine's wife wants 48him to leave the pub and asks him, "Do you know what time it is?" 49And he, happy where he is, replies: "Yes, my love. Summer double time." 50(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046436/">IMDb entry.</a>) 51(Mark Brader, 2009-10-02) 52</li> 53<li> 54The premise of the 1999 caper movie <em>Entrapment</em> involves computers 55in an international banking network being shut down briefly at 56midnight in each time zone to avoid any problems at the transition 57from the year 1999 to 2000 in that zone. (Hmmmm.) If this shutdown 58is extended by 10 seconds, it will create a one-time opportunity for 59a gigantic computerized theft. To achieve this, at one location the 60crooks interfere with the microwave system supplying time signals to 61the computer, advancing the time by 0.1 second each minute over the 62last hour of 1999. (So this movie teaches us that 0.1 × 60 = 10.) 63(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137494/">IMDb entry.</a>) 64(Mark Brader, 2009-10-02) 65</li> 66<li> 67One mustn't forget the 68<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4EUTMPuvHo">trailer</a> 69(2014; 2:23) for the movie <em>Daylight Saving</em>. 70</li> 71</ul> 72<h2>TV episodes</h2> 73<ul> 74<li> 75An episode of <em>The Adventures of Superman</em> entitled "The Mysterious 76Cube," first aired 1958-02-24, had Superman convincing the controllers 77of the Arlington Time Signal to broadcast ahead of actual time; 78doing so got a crook trying to be declared dead to 79emerge a bit too early from the titular enclosure. 80(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0506628/">IMDb entry</a>.) 81</li> 82<li> 83"<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chimes_of_Big_Ben">The Chimes 84of Big Ben</a>", <em>The Prisoner</em>, episode 2, ITC, 1967-10-06. 85Our protagonist tumbles to 86the fraudulent nature of a Poland-to-England escape upon hearing "Big 87Ben" chiming on Polish local time. 88(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0679185/">IMDb entry.</a>) 89</li> 90<li> 91"The Susie", <em>Seinfeld</em>, season 8, episode 15, NBC, 1997-02-13. 92Kramer decides that daylight saving time 93isn't coming fast enough, so he sets his watch ahead an hour. 94</li> 95<li> 96"20 Hours in America", <em>The West Wing</em>, season 4, episodes 1–2, 972002-09-25, contained a <a 98href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J1NHzQ1sgc">scene</a> that 99saw White House staffers stranded in Indiana; they thought they had time to 100catch Air Force One but were done in by intra-Indiana local time changes. 101</li> 102<li> 103"In what time zone would you find New York City?" was a $200 question on 104the 1999-11-13 United States airing of <em>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?</em>, 105and "In 1883, what industry led the movement to divide the U.S. into four time 106zones?" was a $32,000 question on the 2001-05-23 United States airing of 107the same show.
