Description
Based on the book by Terry Pratchett, Johnny And The Bomb is a time-slip
adventure that takes Johnny Maxwell and his pals back into the Second World War.
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. Along with Mrs Tachyon, Johnny's Gran and Grandad were there -
of course they were only teenagers at the time - but they fell in love when
Grandad, Tom Maxwell, made his epic bike ride to raise the alarm and saved the
residents of Paradise Street (including his future bride, the pretty young Rose
Bushell) from the horrors of the Blitz. Tom and Rose survived to get married and
the rest is history - at least it was until young Johnny started messing with
the Bags of Time!
Johnny 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? In the world of Pratchett everything
makes a difference... maybe not a big difference, but a difference.
This edition blend all 3 episodes together to create one full-length movie.
