Johnny and the Bomb

Based on the book by Terry Pratchett, Johnny and the Bomb is a thrilling adventure that takes Johnny Maxwell and his pals back into the Second World War. With great characters that cross the generations, comedy, and lots of cool special effects, there's even a Back To The Future-style love story for good measure.

At the start of our story, Johnny just happens to be on hand when time-travelling Mrs Tachyon is blown quite literally from 1941 to 2005, landing in a heap almost at Johnny's feet. While poor Mrs T is in hospital, Johnny inherits her shopping trolley and its unusual cargo – the Bags of Time. Everything revolves around the 21 May 1941, when the small Pennine town of Blackbury suffered its only air raid of the Second World War.

He and his friends slip back to the Second World War and with the best of intentions start 'bumping into things'. And this is where Terry Pratchett asks the big question – if you could go back in time, would your actions make any difference, or is history already written?

What starts as an accident turns into a breathless adventure and ends up in a race against time, with Johnny and his friends trying desperately to reverse the 'butterfly effect' that could stop important little bits of the present ever happening – like Tom and Rose making it and Johnny Maxwell ever being born.
