If you could time travel to any place in time, where & when would it be?

LordSutch · 06-09-2016 08:47PM #1

So you've come out of the pub/club in the early hours, only to discover Dr Who's Tardis abandoned in a side ally, the door's ajar and there's nobody at home, and the dials are set for one last voayage back (or forward) in time...

A return journey, but for one day/one night only!

So where & when in time would you go, and apart from taking loads of pictures what else would you do when you got there?

PS: There's a fully equiped wardrobe in the TARDIS should you wish to dress accordingly.

The loaves and fishes meeting Jesus held. It'd be good to see what he was really like in person aside from the myth and legend surrounding him.

Praia da Luz, Portugal, May 3rd, 2007. I need to know.

I'd save her too.. obviously.

1989, a rave, somewhere in the North of England.

Sure, not exactly profound...but fun.

Mister Vain · 06-09-2016 08:57PM

Sometime during the Roman era when they were having their orgies.

Maybe a nice meal and he wouldn't have turned out to be a complete knut

You'd like to get maddie into your Tardis wouldn't you filthy animal

Your Face · 06-09-2016 09:00PM

You'd save her by taking her away...who's to say you haven't invented time travel in the future and done just that.

I think I just solved the mystery of the Madeline McCann disappearance...

jamesbere · 06-09-2016 09:04PM

I'd go back a year and put 10 grand on Leicester to win the league

Barry Badrinath · 06-09-2016 09:05PM

22:00hrs 06th September 2016.

Just to make sure it works and that the return journey bit isnt a lie.

Cant be missing The Walking Dead like.

badabing106 · 06-09-2016 09:08PM

I'd bring a secure secret full HD camera set up zoomed on the grave of Jesus, when he was supposed to have arisen from death after three days, live streaming this to the whole world

Ted111 · 06-09-2016 09:10PM

Vodafone was down that day.

Livestreaming, eh? Whole lot of internet architecture around in 33AD, was there?

Capt'n Midnight · 06-09-2016 09:19PM

pick up next weeks euro-lotto numbers

But the Tardis is big, could go back and pickup some Dinos or Neanderthals or Giant Sloths or Trilobites.

OK get Neanderthals and the ice age fauna. Best pick them up at the co-ordinates of where ever the biggest gold nugget was found

I would go 10,000 years into the future and take a tour of the galaxy.

maryishere · 06-09-2016 10:33PM

Travel 100 years in to the future, take photos and notes and some sort of proof I was able to time travel 100 years in to the future and return, and then come back and try to warn the leaders of todays G20 on where they are going wrong, what road they should travel etc.

The flying mouse · 06-09-2016 10:58PM

I would like to go back and witness an old western cowboy town,also if possible back to the Roman times.

Turtyturd · 06-09-2016 11:01PM

Go back and warn John Hammond about those frogs.

maudgonner · 06-09-2016 11:23PM

I would use it to give the most accurate answer ever to the job interview question 'Where do you see yourself five years from now?'.

LordSutch · 06-09-2016 11:24PM

"The Rooftop concert" 30th January 69, 3 Savile Row, London, W1S 2ER.

I saw Richard Dawkins being asked the same question and he gave a similar answer.

BalcombeSt4 · 07-09-2016 12:02AM

6p, May 8th, 1987 in Armagh along the road to Loughgall police station to warn the East Tyrone ASU about the SAS ambush ahead.

learn_more · 07-09-2016 12:14AM

Good question.

I would love to be rich in the 1970's. When I look back on TV shows in that era I think it's perfect. I dunno why , it just looks idyllic.

osarusan · 07-09-2016 12:29AM

I w0uld like to have seen The Rumble in the Jungle, or maybe Duran beating Leonard in 1980.

You would warn the PIRA terrorists (whose weapons were found to have been used in previous murders ), even though they attacked the police station with a large bomb and guns before the SAS fired back .....yet you would not think of warning the innocent people killed in restaurants by the Balcombe st IRA gang in London, who murdered innocent people?

Back2work · 07-09-2016 01:18AM

New York in the 1970's

Good call. While in fairness there's probably more interesting and profound answers to this question 70's New York always struck me as a pretty cool place to be.

Personally if given the choice I'd probably go forward rather than back. Be so interesting to see what the world will look like thousands of years from now.

There's probably equal chance that we'll either have developed unimaginably amazing technology, we'll have been wiped out by something like an asteroid or a terrible disease or else we'll have fcuked the place up completely and the few of us that are left will have gone back to living in caves.

Given how we carry on now, if Paddy Power was doing odds on this I reckon the last option would be favourite.

foxy farmer · 07-09-2016 02:34AM

The driveway of the house where I grew up 18th September 1982 around 1.00pm
Just to catch the 4 classmates and neighbours (scrotes as it turned out on the day) who had come in with me on good terms but ran off with my toys and made pure sh1t of them by dropping rocks on them while i was gone in home for 2mins.
I spent 10 years in school sometimes in the same class as them when all i wanted to do was strangle the fookers
I hope ye rot in hell lads.

Vinculus · 07-09-2016 07:42AM

I'd go back. To Dublin in the twenties and try and get a job with Harry Clarke and then see if James Joyce fancies going for a pint.
And then go forward a few decades and try hang out with The Velvet Underground.

If you could time travel to any place in time, where & when would it be?
