A time travelling adventure in which Bradford school boys and best friends Bilal and Ted go on a voyage of discovery to find out why their home city has been named the UK City of Culture. Bilal and Ted are in the comfort of Emily Bronte’s home in 1847. They suddenly realise they’ve been transported over 170 years back in time to one of the most incredible Bradford born authors of all time. Wuthering Heights is then the topic of conversation. Emily joins the Bradford friends as they try and get back to school in time to deliver their presentation about 'what culture means to Bradford'. They find themselves in 1907 where they meet the founder of school dinners, John Priestly. In another jump in time, they head to 1963 to experience Beatlemania in Bradford, meeting John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Cast: Bilal .... Armaan Ali Ted ....
