RTVE will ask the BBC for explanations for the series 'The Ministry of Time' Several tweeters had warned about the similarity in title and plot between the Spanish fiction and the upcoming British production. In both fictions, a team of three people (two men and a woman) work for the Government, traveling in time to prevent history from being altered.

In September 2016, the production company Onza Partners sued the NBC network for plagiarism after releasing the series Timeless. Finally, in 2017, a provisional dismissal agreement was reached that put an end to the legal battle and allowed Timeless to continue broadcasting.
