Professor When and His T.O.A.S.T.E.R. - The Screenplay

By Wayne Jarman

What if the most dangerous time machine in history...
was a toaster?

Professor When is a brilliant inventor cursed with extrapolated elocution-he cannot explain anything simply, especially when it matters. His latest invention, the T.O.A.S.T.E.R. (Time Orientation and Searing Toast Electrical Receptacle), is perfectly safe... until two bored teenagers start pressing buttons.

In seconds, Professor When, Susan, and Trent are hurled 3,000 years into the past, dumped into the middle of the Trojan War, mistaken for gods, and quietly responsible for vaporising several legendary figures.

History is not pleased.

Armed with a device that is both a language translator and a weapon, a time machine that keeps going missing, and absolutely no common sense between them, the trio attempt to "fix" the timeline-making everything much, much worse.

Professor When and His T.O.A.S.T.E.R. is a mad-cap, intelligent sci-fi comedy screenplay, blending: absurdist humour, time-travel chaos, historical satire, and dangerously unnecessary acronyms.Originally written as a radio play and later adapted into a feature screenplay, this book includes the full script along with background notes on its creation.

If you enjoy: Monty Python-style absurdityDoctor Who's playful time travelThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's irreverent intelligence...then this is a trip through time you'll enjoy-whether or not you survive it.
