Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
"O.M.", short for "Old Man", is a nickname of the titular character from The Toymaker [+]Loading...["The Toymaker (TV story)"], an episode of Lost in Space, where he was played by Walter Burke. The Toymaker depicted O.M.'s Workshop as containing gateways to various inconspicuous-looking toyshops on various planets, including one on Earth, although the Earth shop was shown to have closed down by the series' present day of the late 1990s. This is presumably the shop at 24 Duncan Street, "open from 1921 onwards". As such, the stock footage of an Earth street decorated for Christmas, glimpsed by the characters through the boarded-up gateway, presumably retroactively constitutes a depiction of Duncan Street.
