The show aired at 9pm on weekdays and had a repeat telecast at 8am the following day. The Series is repeated at 5.30pm on Channel 8 on weekdays & 4.30pm on weekends. The series will be Channel 8's 2014 year-end blockbuster celebrating 51 years of television. It is also partly sponsored by the Media Development Authority of Singapore. The Journey: Tumultuous Times will depict the period of the Japanese Occupation where the adversity only served to strengthen the characters' survival instinct. When the British colonialists returned, stirrings of dissent became more apparent about their right to rule. In this period of uncertainty, there were vastly different ideals about how independence could be achieved. Yet despite all odds, they pulled through and survived.
