About This Program ✦
Back to the Future Part II is a sci‑fi comedy sequel presented as a feature‑length movie. It continues the story begun in the earlier instalment, keeping the same blend of futuristic speculation and humour that defined the original. The programme is positioned as a continuation rather than a standalone work. The central narrative follows teenage Marty McFly, who jumps forward in time using a time‑travel device. His mission is to intervene in his children’s lives, aiming to avert a disastrous fate that threatens them. While attempting this rescue, his actions inadvertently reshape the course of history, creating a ripple effect that alters events he thought were fixed. The film’s structure leans heavily on the time‑travel premise, using the future setting to generate both comedic situations and plot complications. By sending the protagonist into an era beyond his own, the story juxtaposes contemporary attitudes with speculative technology, allowing the humour to arise from the clash of eras. As a sequel, the programme builds on established characters and concepts, extending the adventure while maintaining the light‑hearted tone that characterises the series. Its combination of science‑fiction ideas with comedy ensures the narrative stays entertaining, even as it explores the consequences of meddling with the timeline.
Back to the Future Part II broadcasts on Sky Cinema Sci-fi/Horror HD at 8:00pm, Monday, 9 February 2026. (Subtitles)
