Biggles: Adventure in Time

Through time travel, a businessman is unexpectedly sent back to the First World War. There he aids a British flying ace in dangerously destroying a German secret weapon, delivering a sci‑fi adventure set amidst dramatic wartime skies in the conflict.

Biggles: Adventure in Time is a programme that’s presented as a movie. It falls under the adventure‑science‑fiction banner and follows the conventions of a classic wartime tale, but with a twist that pulls the story out of the usual historical setting. The story centres on a modern businessman who unexpectedly finds himself thrust back to the First World War. While there, he teams up with a British flying ace, and together they set out to neutralise a covert German weapon that could change the course of the conflict. Their mission blends the urgency of aerial combat with the intrigue of a secret technology. The production’s pitched as a sci‑fi adventure, and it features performances by Neil Dickson and Alex Hyde‑White. Their involvement adds a recognisable face to the time‑travel narrative, grounding the fantastical elements in familiar acting talent. The combination of period aviation, a hidden enemy device and a contemporary protagonist aims to give viewers a mix of historical backdrop and speculative excitement. Throughout the film, the contrast between the 21st‑century businessman’s perspective and the early‑20th‑century wartime environment creates a recurring tension. As the duo races against time, the narrative keeps the focus on the joint effort to sabotage the German device, underscoring the blend of historical aviation drama with a speculative twist.
