Description
A time travel tale, with an all-star cast including Nigel Planer, Celia Imrie, Sophie Thompson, Chris Ryan, Tim McInnerny and Annette Badland.
Jeremiah Bourne is a boy with a remarkable gift. He can travel in time. Not by using a time machine, or stepping through a dimensional portal. It just happens to him, as though by accident. Jeremiah has two questions: how did he get there - and how can he get back? On his quest for the answers, he enlists the help of Phyllis Stokes of The Society for Theosophical Research and her equally eccentric brother, Roger Allcot Standish, magistrate, spiritualist and dedicated nudist. He encounters the sadistic Mr and Mrs Grout and the ruthless Ed Viney. And he arouses the disapproval of Clementina Quentinbloom, the head of a home for 'Fallen Girls', by befriending Daisy Wallace, a girl ahead of her time. What is the connection between Clementina's establishment and Doctor Henry Davenant Hythe? And does Jeremiah's gift of time travel have something to do with his mother's sudden disappearance, all those years ago?
