This is about a short film I just saw on TeeVee and is kinda OT but vaguely related to the usual so I've put it here.. There are SPOILERS if you don't want to know the plot...
I've just finished watching a brilliant short film called 'Chrono Perambulator'
It stars Charles Dance and Bill Paterson, lasts only 11 minutes, and the premise is as follows...
In early 20th Century Ireland a professor investigates the finding of crushed skulls dug up around a stone Circle. Not only that but there is also metal tubing buried with them. It is stated that the skulls and tubing were probably buried in prehistoric times.
Another professor has built a time machine (the title device) and suggests that they go back in time to discover the origins of the skulls and metal. He is convinced that the metal tubing comes from a Martian spaceship. The Chrono Perambulator looks not unlike Joe 90's 'cage' with a two seater sofa in the middle.
They go back (the device works, much to the other professor's surprise!) and are confronted by neanderthals who promptly club them over the heads and pull the machine to bits.
They themselves are the source of the skulls they are investigating.
Really well acted with good period detail. Short but sweet with a nice twist.
Anyone else seen this?
