Of course some cynics are asking "Of all the places to travel back to, why bother with a Chaplin premiere?" as though Time Travelers can only do it once.
Personally I use time travel to buy old comics. Beats all the worry of the "bit tatty with age" merchants.
I think I'm going to use it to catch up with deadlines now....
Let's assume it's real (not that I'm saying it is). Man (or woman in this case) has finally conquered time. But is no further forward with mobile phones as they still need huge masts all over the country?
It's a bit like medieval man ridiculing a car because you'd never fit the horses under the hood.
I'd expect a bit more telephonic technology in a future that could travel to any point in the history of the universe. Maybe even to the point of phones being entirely self-contained.
As an aside (straying into comics territory here), the funniest Tim Traveller strip I remember in the Beano was one where he took frames from his strip and transported them into the past or the future, so the policeman became a baby and the robbers became really old (and their getaway car became a rusty old heap).

Tim Travellers Nan more like it Lew! I saw this on chortle and it made me chuckle! I'm a big Chaplin fan and I think he would be laughing at this! I think she's just some old dear who does not want to be on camera, if we do master the art of time travel I doubt we will send some old lass with a mobile ringing up HQ to find out were she parked the Delorean!

Yes, I think it's some old dear trying to hide her face with her purse or something. Or perhaps someone with toothache.
Anyone see the episode of the Big Bang Theory were Leonard moved in and Sheldon made him sign a clause that if he invented time travel he had to travel back to that very moment in time?
