A comedy and film podcast exploring the wonderful world of time travel films in all their multi-dimensional glory. We love the unusual, the lost and the little known, avoiding the more obvious time travel choices. Although the occasional classic might slip through the net.
Every episode, we babble about a film that’s specifically about time travel, or that generally plays with the concept of time.
We get excited about the good bits, poke fun at the bad bits, and radically change the plot if we think it’s possible to improve the film. Sometimes we even get serious, and throw in the odd, ill-informed TED talk. Although we easily get distracted from the facts, and the conversation usually wanders way off topic.
We often end up loving the faulty films, and finding fault with films we love. Time Babble is as fickle as you are! We’re also duty bound by our cultural mandate to end each episode with POETRY, so do listen out for our internationally renowned, Nobel-awarded ‘Haiku or Limerick’ segment.
Lastly, whilst enjoyment is guaranteed, feedback is of course welcome. As long as it’s hastily scrawled on colourful notepaper and sent to our postal address. And doesn’t make us cry. As a wise rabbit once said, ‘If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all’.

4.2 Terror at London Bridge (1985) "Jack the Hoffer"
This week we’re babbling about Terror at London Bridge (1985). The film is also known by the ever so slightly better title of Bridge Across Time and was originally a TV movie directed by the unfeasibly named Egbert Warnderink Swackhamer Jr!
The film stars the legend that is David ‘The Hoff’ Hasslehoff as a troubled cop, trying to forget a traumatic incident from his past. Specifically, a rogue incident with a can opener and a tin of beans. Now based at the relocated London Bridge in Arizona, he stumbles upon an ‘almost enough to have you institutionalised’ theory that Jack the Ripper is somehow back from the dead and up to his old tricks, through some entirely unconvincing ‘reasons’.
The film also stars genre veteran Adrienne Barbeau, alongside Stepfanie Kramer as The Hoff’s wildly inappropriate workplace-stalky-romantic interest.
To offset the endless scenery chewing, we enjoy innocent school kids pointing at bodies floating in a river, a library that seems more interested in trying to get you to go to the cinema, film extras that seem to have lost even the ability to walk naturally and you’ll also find out why the House of Horrors is only named so on the inside of the building..? And to add insult to injury (yes, it’s that kind of film) an indifferent The Hoff is also treated to a romantic meal, and no, it’s not even Mac ‘n’ Cheese!
So join us dear Babbler, as we venture trepidatiously to London Village, to see what the flip is going on.
Episode Two of Time Babble Series Four is waiting for you now on Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and other good podcast services.
