I think the guy went back to 1956 in that film. Was it H.G. Wells who wrote the Time Machine?

For sure but he was a Norman duke crowned as the English monarch. rather like C.nut who was a Dane but a monarch for the English.

Hey, what about William of Orange? Come to think of it we have quite a few Johnny Foreigners become English monarchs.

And what about that great man, Phil the Greek?

See where I had to add a full stop between the C and n above as the censors think the Dane's name is a rude word? Bonkers, I tell you.

Was thinking about no 3 whilst performing my Saturday AM ablutions in the freezing UK.

It's got to be "deep pan, crisp and even". If not, that's a better answer.
