       Marty (Fox) is a hard-rocking high-schooler whose best friend is the crazy scientist Doc (Lloyd) and who has dorky parents (Glover and Thompson).

       Doc invents a time machine.

       Such adventures. You probably know the story.

       We’ve been doing a lot of time travelling in the Tardis lately with the sophisticated (ahem) Doctor, so this is pretty tame stuff.

       But funny. Good 80’s time travel humour.
