麻豆约拍

Mercurial genius, Professor Quanderhorn (James Fleet) has created a time loop, rendering it permanently 1952.

His arch nemesis, Churchill (John Sessions) has sent a wave of bagpiping bombers to unleash their payload over the 5th dimensional storage tanks holding the captured time, and reality is about to be destroyed.

The Professor and his rag-tag crew 鈥� test pilot Brian Nylon (Ryan Sampson), clockwork-emotioned Dr Gemini Janussen (Cassie Layton), caddish Martian hostage Guuuurk (Kevin Eldon) and Quanderhorn鈥檚 part-insectoid son Troy (Freddie Fox), along with factotum Jenkins (John Sessions. Again) 鈥� escape by scattering themselves through time.

Troy and Guuuurk find themselves in a cave in the Pleistocene Era, with some rather unnerving co-habitants.

Brian and the Professor have an unexpected Latin lesson, resulting in Brian being given as a gift to a beautiful Roman noblewoman. He鈥檚 rather worried to discover what鈥檚 supposed to happen next.

Dr Janussen and Sergeant 鈥淛enkins鈥� Jenkins are spirited to the mid-seventeenth century, where they encounter a strangely familiar-looking Witchfinder General.
