We go back in time to take a trip on HG Wells' The Time Machine from 1960 this week for our deep dive. In the reviews Andy saw Together, whilst together we saw Nobody 2.

A few months ago we were surprised to learn that HG Wells, the famed 19th century science fiction writer, survived long enough to comment on film adaptations of his work. This is a silly thing for us to be surprised by, because the man was only 66 when Island of Lost Souls, the movie that he commented on, came out. Just a few years later Alexander Korda hired Wells himself to adapt Wells' futurism work into Things to Come (1936), working with a crack team of art directors and artists including William Cameron Menzies as director, Vincent Korda officially acting as art designer, and a cadre of others including a mostly cut sequence by Hungarian experimental filmmaker László Moholy-Nagy. It's a beautiful film that looks at a future that Wells imagines is not a technocratic dystopia even though that's what he portrays.
Horsall Common is aflame, the Martians have opened fire, and our narrator is fleeing the area. The rest of the world is unaware of the threat, but how long will that last?

The Guests are speechless and very skeptical. For a moment it seems that the Time Traveler has lost his memory but he recovers his composure on seeing the time machine. He guests leave, all still skeptical, except for the narrator, and the following day, he is the only person to return. The Time Traveler greets him happily with a camera in his hand, saying that if he would only wait for a 30 minutes, he will return with all of the proof he needs. The Narrator picks up the story 3 years later, saying that the Time Traveler never returned. He wonders where he could be, and hope that he is alright. All that is left of the Time Machine's voyage, are two strange little flowers that the narrator kept, proof that the human spirit of tenderness lives on.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H.

He notices that the day and night cycle starts to end, and the sun grows larger and redder. Finally he notices that the Earth has stopped rotating. He brings the machine to a stop and finds himself on a beach. Green vegetation covers every surface that isn't in the sunlight. Behind him, on a hill, he sees a huge moth flying over it. He turns and sees a huge rock that starts to move and while looking at it, he feels something brushing against his neck, another crab. In fear he pushes the machine further into the future. He stops the machine every hundred years or so to watch the earth ebb away. Finally 30 million years into the future and he comes to a stop. The air is bitterly cold and the only sign of life is some lichen. The air is very thin, and while nearly on the verge of fainting, he pushes the machine back into the past.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H.

As always there are spoilers ahead! You can follow the podcast on Threads, Instagram and Bluesky. HG Wells shadow is a long one and his seminal work on time travel was published in 1895. But well over a half a century later Hollywood was still hooked on Herbert (George Wells). The Time Machine was directed by George Pal and released 1960. From the turn of the century to the beginning of a new decade my amazing guests break down the themes and influences on this mid-century steampunk precursor. Keith Williams is a Reader in English Literature at the University of Dundee where he runs the science fiction programme. He has a special interest in the pre 1945 period and is the author of the book H.G. Wells, Modernity and the Movies. Ian Scott is a Professor of American Film and History at The University of Manchester. He has written extensively about politics and film in Hollywood.

Next week I will be discussing the Eastern Block with brainy experts and discussing one of the first sci-fi films from the region Der schweigende Stern, AKA The Silent Star from 1960.

He is very aware of the beauty of the upper world and he compares them to cattle in a field. He morns too the loss of human intellect. The rich, assured of his wealth, and the poor, of his toil. He heads to the white sphinx and strangely finds the door beneath the plinth open. He chuckles, and walks through the opening. He sees his time machine and is impressed to see that it has been cleaned and oiled, suspecting that the Morlocks took it apart and put it together again to try to understand the mechanism. The doors close behind him, confirming his suspicion, and he goes to strike a match. The matches are the kind that need the box in order to light, and he is swarmed by the Morlocks. He fights his way to the saddle in the dark and punches several while struggling to put the lever in place. He pushes the lever, and the world falls around him while he heads further and further into the future, away from his enemy.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H.

As they near the woods again, they start to hear Morlocks. Night has started to fall and the Time Traveler decides to start a fire using some camphor and dry brush to get rid of the stalking Murlocks behind them. The fire spreads quickly as the Time Traveler and Weena make their way into the forest. He and Weena walk in the dark, and slowly he feels small hand grasping at his clothes and legs, and Weena. He decides that he must light another fire in the woods to make a camp to rest a little so that he can break away from his pursuers with new strength. Dreadfully tired, he actually falls asleep, and when he wakes he is covered in Morlocks biting at his hands and neck. He finds no more matches in his pocket but thankfully finds his Iron bar, and he bats away the attacking Morlocks. Suddenly, he sees for the first time that the fire has spread to the forest. He cannot find Weena around him anywhere and decides to run away from the blazing fire around him. He comes to a clearing with a small hillock and he runs to it. The Morlocks chase him he strikes several of them as they run at him. Soon he notices however that they are blinded by the fire as they run into it, and their demise.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H.

It appears to have been a museum of some sort before society lost interest in anything intellectual. He and Weena explore the exhibits and in a chemistry section find some camphor, which the Time Traveler takes to use as a candle. He is also thrilled to find some matches, which by luck were well preserved. Exploring a hall full of machinery, he notices that Weena is scared, and in the ill lit room the Time Traveler starts to hear some unwelcome noises. He breaks an iron bar from one of the machines and determines to use it as a weapon as he hasn't found any usable arms. Following this, he and Weena make their way out, the Time Traveler hoping to make it back to the sphynx before nightfall.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H.

He has to revise his theories, and over the next few days he realises that he meat he saw underground must have been from an Eloi... He becomes more and more certain that his theory about a class separation caused the split in the evolutionary chain that created the Morlock and the Eloi. In their ease, the rich became weak and dumb. In their struggle, the poor, became strong and harsh. He sets out for the green porcelain building with Weena. The journey takes longer than originally thought and he and Weena are forced to sleep in the open near the boarder of a forest. Though terrified of an attack, the night passes without any harm.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H. G.

In the distance he sees a tall building that looks as though it is made of green porcelain, but instead of heading to this new discovery, he heads into one of the Morlock wells. It takes him a long time to climb down the 200 yard deep well, and he nearly falls, being nearly too heavy for the climbing hooks to hold. He finds a small tunnel where he rests before being awakened by a Morlock touching him. He quickly lights a match, causing the creature to flee, and he makes his way through the tunnel into a large cave. He sees some huge machines lining the walls and a light metal table with some White coloured meat laying on it. His matches are running low, and the creatures are getting more confident around him and he decides that it is a good idea to flee before they swarm him. Exhausting all of his matches, he only narrowly escapes the Morlock's clutches.

As he gets closer to it however, something is wrong. He swears that this is the place that he left it, but it is nowhere to be found. In a frenzy he runs around accosting the Eloi and trying to find out what they have done with it. After a while, he calms down and sleeps. In the morning, he assumes that they must have moved it beneath the Sphinx statue as they aren't strong enough to have moved it far and with a rock he hits at the pedestal, finding it to be hollow. The Eloi are very scared by his actions, and the Time Traveller eventually stops, reasoning that it would be better to be calm for a few days to better integrate into their society while he finds out more. As some days go by, he asks more questions about the Eloi and their strange world. They wear clothes, yet no one seems to make them, The strange vents seem to produce warm air, and there are very deep wells all over the place. One day, he rescues one of the Eloi from drowning, and she becomes very attached to him, like a child to a parent. He wakes up one morning and sees some white ghost-like figures and speculates that they are ghosts. But he was soon proven wrong, when he came face to face with one of these white creatures before it dashed out of sight down one of the wells. He soon concludes that these creatures, Morlocks, must too have descended from humans and endeavours to find out more about them.

In H.G. Wells's "The Red Room," a young man, confident in his rationality, seeks to debunk the supernatural in a reputedly haunted chamber. He is certain that his experience will be defined by logic and reason. But the air within the castle walls is heavy with unspoken dread, and as the candles dwindle, something shifts. Is it the room itself, or something within him, that begins to unravel? "The Red Room" was first published in The Idler magazine in March of 1896. H.G. Wells (1866-1946), a visionary of science fiction and social commentary, explored the depths of human experience with unparalleled skill. Learn more about your ad choices.
