Drama on Three - The Time Machine
Robert Glenister stars as the Time Traveller with William Gaunt as HG Wells in Philip Osment's dramatisation of a time-traveller's journey to the future, where mankind has diverged into two species - the Eloi and the Morlocks.
The opening scene is set in 1943, with HG Wells recording his broadcast Reshaping Man's Heritage. In this talk, Wells addresses the fact that for the first time in history, man is capable of bringing about his own destruction and the destruction of the world.
American journalist Martha spends the evening with Wells and he tells her the story of the Time Traveller. Wells explains that he was actually there in person in Richmond in 1885 when the Time Traveller came back from his first journey, and reveals that the Time Traveller made recordings of the final moments of the world, recordings which Wells still has and plays to Martha.

Thanks Rick!!
By coincidence, I was watching William Gaunt last night on a DVD of the 1960s TV series The Champions.
