Back to the 1960s

 I've always enjoyed time travel programmes, films and captions and one of my favourite times is the 1960s as I love the fashions. Well, at least I thought it was until I looked into doing this and found I hadn't done that many. It's either this or the 1980s so I guess we'll have to see. I've even done a brand new cap for this post!

The below caption was created for the August 2016 caption contest over at Rachel's Haven which had the theme 'Time travel'. The title derives from The Who's album and movie Quadrophenia. Reading it again, I quite like the story in this of a world weary time traveller suddenly being given some free will back.

The below caption was again created for the Rachel's Haven caption competition. Now we are in April 2022 and theme is 'Possession in Either the Past or Future'. Obviously I chose the past and I quite like the idea of using a new phone app to insert someone into a photograph. I love the outfit the girl is wearing in this one too. The only thing that could be improved is the name of the band 'The Pop Cats'. I'm sure there must be a better one. The title is taken from a British sci-fi anthology series from the 1960s.

And now to the newness! I've been toying around with AI recently and this is one of the random images I came up with. I enjoyed writing all the 1960s slang. The idea of a time travel portal in a diner is derived from a Stephen King book and TV miniseries 11.22.63. Neither of which I have actually read or watched but I keep meaning to although I see the series is now 9 years old! Afficionados of British sitcom may also remember the 1990s Nicholas Lyndhurst starring Goodnight Sweetheart. The premise was that a TV repairman was able to travel back to the 1940s by using a specific alleyway (Ducketts Passage) in London. I'm quite pleased with my final line on this one too.
