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.

It all starts when Bilal and Ted are sarcastic in class about their ‘rubbish’ city winning City of Culture status. After hearing the comment their teacher sets them the task of delivering a presentation about why Bradford has been crowned with the title.

With just a day to prepare the friends look for some inspiration and they come across a statue of JB Priestley, Bradford’s famous playwright son.

On touching the statue, they’re catapulted through time and space to meet historical figures of Bradford through the ages, such as novelist Emily Bronte and artist David Hockney.

Bilal and Ted race through portals to try and get back to school in time to deliver their presentation on why Bradford is the UK’s City of Culture 2025.
