You can, if you like, read the story differently. You can imagine that it really is Sam Tyler's consciousness transported back in time into Sam Williams's body, and that Sam Williams's personality and memories are not only still present but eventually 'overpower'those of Sam Tyler.
This is how I read it, for the record. Unreliable narration notwithstanding, Sam was too adult for me to believe he was a kid in a 1950s hospital, making everything else up, but you set up the Williamses and their world so well that I had to believe in them too.
:D Gosh, I loved reading these notes, thank you. It thrills and amazes me that such love, time and thinky-thought-making went into a fic. And, of course, it's a brilliant fic.
