Written by Rupert Laight. A character known only as the Shopkeeper sends Sarah, Clyde and Rani are each send to different time zones to retrieve an object for the Shopkeeper. Sarah is in 1889 in a hospital haunted by ghosts, Clyde during World War II where he meets the boy George and Rani in 1553 when she becomes the lady in waiting to Lady Jane Grey in her short and doomed reign as Queen. Quite like a rapport between Rani and Queen Jane. It was a very good opportunity that was done well in presenting Lady Jane Grey as a historical character in a work of fiction because prior to this I don’t recall ever seeing other portrayals of her. The scenes with Clyde and George along with the Nazis is a good fun way of having a boys’ only adventure. Having just said good things about Rani and Clyde visiting their respective time zones there is however really nothing much to say about Sarah’s experience in 1889 except an intrigue about ghosts in the future from a 1889 perspective. However it is better in the concluding episode. The way the story was resolved felt like Back to the Future II. Sarah, Clyde and Rani finding out what became of the people they met in the past provides a fitting coda to this story.
