Time Riders

1991 · 1 season

A breezy, silly romp through history with motorbike chases and pantomime villains, easy to enjoy without much thought.

Overview: B.B. Miller, accidental time-traveller and Ben Hardy, a street urchin from Victorian England, arrive back in the middle of the English Civil War on B.B.'s motorbike time machine. Before their hectic and hilarious adventures are over, they're practically blown up, nearly dissected by mad scientists, almost axed to death, and then meet their worst nightmare in the evil Witchfinder General.
How it feels: Whimsical, light, absurd and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, friendship, fate, identity
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
