Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made for the Millennium Dome's Skyscape cinema, this was literally designed as a theme park attraction—explaining the breakneck pace and sensory overload.
The 'real' time machine Baldrick built from household junk? The set designers based it on actual Da Vinci sketches, meaning his stupidity accidentally produced historically credible engineering.
