Time Travel is Dangerous + Q&A15

Directed by Chris Reading | UK | 2025 | 1h 39m | Starring Johnny Vegas, Stephen Fry, Jane Horrocks, Mark Heap, Sophie Thompson, Tom Lenk

Best friends Ruth and Megan run a vintage shop in Muswell Hill. When they stumble across a time machine, it occurs to them that stock is much cheaper if they ‘borrow’ from the past – well, it’s free. They don’t want to change history, or rob banks, they just want to find a nice Victorian lamp or an authentic 80s bum bag without getting sucked into the hellish time-space vortex that is “the Unreason”. The thing is, Time Travel Is Dangerous.

Join us for a one-off showing of this British sci-fi comedy featuring a post-screening Q&A with producers and co-writers Anna and Hillary Shakespeare.

Reviews

‘British comedy at its finest. It’s nonsensical in all the right ways and is guaranteed to be a great time for anyone who watches.’
★★★★
Andrew Murray, The Upcoming

‘Here is a very silly and very likable British mockumentary’
★★★★
Phil Hoad, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
