When Jack and James built a time machine out of a KIA estate car, it could have been the start of a great adventure. But - unsurprisingly - they half arsed it. Thankfully, there's plenty of music, TV, film and pop culture from the years they end up in to make an okay (if somewhat long) Podcast.
Jack and James finally make it back to Scotland, but they're still very much in the past. 1979 to be precise, where they accidentally doom Scotland’s hopes of oil wealth and devolution, before single handedly ensuring the election of Margaret Thatcher. They’re on a roll! Smallpox is no more, the Walkman is released and politics is about to change pretty much everywhere. There’s a definite change in the air and it smells a lot like the eighties… Please consider supporting the podcast, it makes a big difference to us and is massively appreciated >> https://www.patreon.com/lostintimepodcast =============== If you fancy immersing yourself in the music of 1979, here's a link to a Spotify playlist of all the music featured in this episode >> https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7som4O7xtsdmnKne0PHarN =============== All copyrighted material included in this Podcast is covered by Fair dealing for criticism or review.
Still in the USA, Jack and James board a train, beginning a series of events so ridiculous they decide to immortalise them in song. A song which, admittedly, may have been written by someone else in the same year. The year being 1978. As Soviet spies are bumped off with poisoned umbrellas, the Vatican goes through three Popes in a year, and the Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy radio series wows some people - but mainly James.

New York, New York! Jack and James are still lost in time, but this time they’re lost in 1977, in New York city. After fleeing the aftermath of Franco’s Spain, they’re now wandering aimlessly around the city that never sleeps. The death penalty’s back in the US, with a firing squad! Voyager sends a golden record into space and conspiracy theories abound as Elvis Presley is found dead.

Sheltering from the French authorities, Jack and James are on the run in 1975 Spain. Early on they're taken in by General Franco, who takes them under his wing, but as Jack and James are too stupid to remember who he is, they accidentally become instrumental figures in his regime. A little known business called Microsoft gets started, middle class idealists are tuning in to The Good Life and Jimmy Saville starts Jim'll Fix It on the BBC, and Wonder woman begins.

Everyone's favourite hapless time travelling duo have arrived in France in 1974. It's fair to say that things don't exactly go to plan, and an unexpected run in with the Tour de France causes Jack and James to flee to Franco's Spain. The world population's booming, everyone's transfixed by the Rubik's Cube and TV is still pretty racist and homophobic. It's 1974.

They may be stuck in the past, but Jack and James get their first glimpse of a futuristic world, as they take a hovercraft across the English Channel to France. Britain looks set to join what will later become the European Union, Northern Ireland holds a referendum on reunification and the Stockholm Syndrome is born (in Stockholm). It's also the year The Wicker Man came out, and Pink Floyd brought out Dark Side of The Moon - 1973.

Jack and James finally make it to swinging sixties London - sadly though, they're three years late, and only have out of date old money in their pockets. In an attempt to raise some cash, they head to the BBC with a plan to pitch the most successful TV show of all time as their own idea. It was the year The Joy of Sex came out, it was the year that Nixon started his famously successful second term as US President, it was the year of 1972.

Where better to soak up the sights and sounds of 1971? Well, Newcastle. Jack and James still have most of their old money left but find it doesn't go quite as far this year. Autonomous communes in Denmark and the launch of Disney World Florida, to the Northern Irish troubles and the mysterious case of DB Cooper, it's only 1971.

A new decade, but still in Sheffield, Jack and James take to the pub to see how far their £5 singing competition winnings will stretch - only to discover that in 1969, it goes pretty bloody far! But as a result, they may have managed to overstay their welcome in Sheffield. Ted Heath takes over in the UK, A socialist government is elected in Chile, Apollo 11 fails to make it to the moon and the Miss World ceremony is taken over by protesters, oh 1970!

In an attempt to get to London in the swinging sixties, Jack and James discover that Britain’s road system isn’t quite as efficient back in 1969 and end up in Sheffield instead. Two time travellers down on their luck, and with no money, they decide to enter a local singing competition. From Richard Nixon to the Stonewall riots and the first moon landing, to Woodstock and the Vietnam war, it’s 1969.

Jack and James weren't too surprised when they succeeded in building a fully functional time machine, what confused them was why they'd landed in a field in central Scotland, when they'd started out on the M8 Motorway. Simple - they weren't thinking fourth dimensionally. But so began a seemingly endless journey through time, beginning in 1968. A land in which Brits were being encouraged by the government to work for free - via Bruce Forsyth - we saw the birth of the microchip, and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. From Oliver! to Barbarella, Fleetwood Mac to The Beatles, The Prisoner to Batman, it's 1968. =============== If you fancy immersing yourself in the music of 1968, here's a link to a Spotify playlist of all the music featured in this episode >> https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6PcCoDjHJMSbO8RaZAJBxG Please consider supporting the podcast, it makes a big difference to us and is massively appreciated >> https://www.patreon.com/lostintimepodcast =============== All copyrighted material included in this Podcast is covered by Fair dealing for criticism or review.
