A magazine show set in a future in which Personal Time Machines have become the must have gadget. Of all the periods open to the Personal Time Machine user, an often over-looked and fascinating destination is early years of the 21st Century. After all, these were simpler times when it was common for people to actually laugh at adverts in the cinema. Simpler, more disturbing times.
Using a team of travel experts, historians and Time Envoys (sponsored by Barclays Bank & Reclaimed Meat Silo), A Time Traveller's Guide To The 21st Century will teach you all you need to survive on the mean streets of such fabled ancient cities as London, Manchester or Glasgow... the places now better known as Underwater Rubble Wasteland, The Forbidden Zone and New New Edinburgh.
