Summary
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. One minute he’s in the present day, the next, he’s 100 years in the past, standing in the London of 1910.
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, thief, gang member and slitter of throats. 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.
Can Jeremiah get home? What is the connection between Clementina’s establishment and Doctor Henry Davenant Hythe, the humanitarian and eugenicist? And does Jeremiah’s gift of time travel have something to do with his mother’s sudden disappearance, all those years ago?
Directed by Barnaby Edwards
Produced by David Richardson
Executive Producers: Nicholas Briggs and Jason Haigh-Ellery

One third of a very good book
I feel I’ve just bought and listened to one third of a very good book. Can’t wait for the rest of it

Rambling and humourless
Great cast. Rambling plot which leapt about in time making very little sense even to someone who loves and has read lot of time travel. I couldn’t work out how old the protagonist was (boy or man?). Most importantly, given the comedic talents of this cast, I was expecting lots of humour and it just wasn’t funny. Maybe my expectations were too high.
