About The Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time's return is unconfirmed.
The Ministry of Time is a drama, romance, and science-fiction series that was in development. It was set to explore the story of a newly established government department that gathers individuals from different historical periods to test the viability of time travel. The series focused on Commander Graham Gore, who was rescued from a doomed Arctic expedition in 1845, alongside other historical figures such as a soldier from the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century. These 'expats' are placed with 21st-century liaisons, known as 'bridges,' in unlikely shared accommodations. Gore had to learn about modern life from scratch, navigating everything from air travel and industrial warfare to feminism, Spotify, cinema, and indoor plumbing. Over time, he developed a relationship with his bridge, an ambitious modern woman, and formed friendships with the other expats, who found themselves adrift in a new era where they outlived everyone they knew.
