Timewasters

BAFTA TV AWARD® nominee
Timewasters is about a struggling four-piece South London jazz band who find themselves transported back in time to 1920s London. Stuck in the past after their ‘time machine’ malfunctions, our quartet decides to explore Edwardian London, before quickly discovering that being young and black in the Jazz Age is a lot less genteel and a lot shadier than Downton Abbey had led them to believe.
