- You may be looking for the tempiscope, a device with a similar function and which resembled a kinetoscope.
A time-space kinetograph was a device that allowed the operator to view any event in history. Iris Wildthyme kept one in her TARDIS. It was in black and white and the reception was poor, except when it showed something from Iris' past.
Tom tried using it watch Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin and Franklin Delano Roosevelt meeting at Yalta, but only saw the back of three chairs. Iris used it to watch Joan Collins auditioning for The Stud. Tom then tried to watch James Joyce give his manuscript for The Muddest Thick that was Ever Heard Dump to Wyndham Lewis in 1926 Brussels, but only got an old test card picture. Tom then used it to watch Iris meet Ben at age fourteen. Tom later tried to use it to relive the night of passion he spent with Ben as a young man, but it accidentally caused him to jump a time phase. (PROSE: Beguine)
