A time travelling adventure in which Bradford school boys and best friends Bilal and Ted go on a voyage of discovery to find out more about the city and its remarkable residents. Bilal, Ted and Emily Bronte fall through time and they arrive on top of a building in Bradford in the future. Bilal and Ted’s original ‘Teenage Karate Hamsters’ doodles and artwork from the day they got detention have transformed in time. The trio think it’s best to go home and they might be right because they’re beginning to witness and be immersed in the future. Back in their own time, via Emily’s homeland of Haworth, the two friends think about what to share in their school presentation. They were tasked to deliver a story 'only they can tell’ about what culture means to Bradford. Reflecting on their epic adventure the friends realise why Bradford is the UK City of Culture 2025 and why their city is so special. Cast: Bilal .... Armaan Ali Ted ....
