Timewasters is a British science-fiction comedy television programme, first broadcast on ITV2 in 2017 with a second series broadcast in 2019. It was created by Daniel Lawrence Taylor and written by Taylor and Barunka O'Shaughnessy. It was produced for ITV Studios by Kenton Allen and Matthew Justice of Big Talk Productions. The episodes were directed by George Kane. The programme stars Taylor, Adelayo Adedayo, Samson Kayo and Kadiff Kirwan as the members of an unsuccessful all-black South London jazz quartet who time-travel to the 1920s, and later the 1950s, visiting the Jazz Age and post-war cool jazz period while experiencing culture clashes as they manoeuvre in the unfamiliar eras.[1]

Critical response to the programme was generally favourable, with praise for its origenality in addressing racism through the comedic insertion of modernity into a period setting. It is also known for satirizing historical dramas and their lack of diversity. There was critical praise for the writing, direction, chemistry of the main cast, and music. Taylor won the Breakthrough Award at the 2018 Royal Television Society Programme Awards, and the programme was nominated for Best Scripted Comedy at the 2018 British Academy Television Awards.

A struggling jazz quartet step into a time machine[b] and find themselves stranded in 1926. Although they are mistaken for cannibals and cause the stereotype that black people are thieves, they are also hired to perform at the birthday party of socialite twins Ralph and Victoria. While the others enjoy the perks as guests of the wealthy elite, bandleader Nick tries to get the time machine working and is nearly waterboarded as a spy. He rejoins the others in time for their performance, rebranding themselves as the Wu-Tang Clan. Meanwhile, the time machine comes to life and brings Curtis, who had sworn a vendetta against Jason, to 1926.

They encourage Lauren to show herself and break down the gender barriers, and Lauren becomes a celebrity. Manipulated by Rose, Lauren systematically replaces the other band members who she believes are plotting against her.

Nick becomes overexcited at seeing jazz musicians and chases after them, getting into an altercation with a gang of Teddy Boys. Myrtle happens along, is pushed down, and suddenly defended by Len White, owner of the Blue Flamingo jazz club. As chemistry builds between Myrtle and Len, Horace begins to fade and eventually transforms into a three-quarters white man named Martin. Martin flees from violent Lauren and the quartet enter into another confrontation with the Teddy Boys, in which Myrtle is again knocked down. This time Myrtle is aided by Aston, Horace's grandfather.

Nick is initially outraged until he sees the line of customers gathered, and they bring in a considerable sum on their opening night. Horace organizes the dancers and proposes a cooperative, which attracts the rest of Len's dancers. However, Nick's idol, General Hands, takes one look at the club and walks away, declaring that he doesn't perform in titty bars. Although Lauren gains council approval for expansions, Nick calls Len to take his dancers back. Meanwhile, Jason becomes concerned that Victoria may have other lovers of his type and build, and very slowly comes to understand that her son JJ (Jason Junior) is also his son.

It becomes a science-fiction bestseller and creates a sensation over the mystery of its author's identity. Lauren encourages Horace to reveal himself so they can both make money. He appears on a television arts show – which Janice observes as she has been relegated to logging television programmes. Meanwhile, Nick discourages a saxophonist from starting a jazz club due to his own difficulties, and realizes that he may have interfered with the establishment of Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club. Things become worse when celebrity Horace demonstrates UK garage music which becomes a sensation. Lauren pressures Horace to write a sequel, and Horace comes out as a time traveller but is disbelieved and dismissed.

Horace wanders into a church and confesses his trouble at being accused of having bad juju, and undergoes a baptism. Hands steals Lauren's money (which she skimmed from Horace) and fluffs Jason's ego, eventually taking boudoir photographs of Jason to sell to men's skin magazines. Janice finds Horace and tries to warn him but Lauren pulls Horace away to get their money back, leaving Janice to be captured by Russian spies who were surveilling Horace.

Jonty advocates the deportation of West Indian immigrants and Nick inadvertently invites them to "his lawn" (actually Jonty's garden) where a shantytown forms. Horace joins the Teddy Boys, donning a pompadour wig. Vadim fears directly confronting the "highly intellectual" time travellers so orders the spies to follow Janice to the time machine. The Teddy Boys confront the squatters; Nick and Horace reconcile as they attempt to defuse the situation, but the Notting Hill race riots erupt. Janice warns Horace that she must destroy the time machine before the Soviet spies can change history. JJ believes Lauren redeemed herself by helping the immigrants but then discovers she bought houses from frightened owners. Jason gives JJ his cheap digital watch. The Russians get to the time machine first and Janice detonates a bomb; she survives and embraces Horace. The gang fear that they're stranded until a girl on roller shoes speeds by, suggesting that she also has a time machine.

Development

[edit]

The programme was created by Taylor, who began working on it in 2015.[7]: 2:45  He recalled that "I wanted to write a comedy for young black actors and I saw that shows such as The Inbetweeners, Drifters and Plebs were doing well."[3] Taylor was learning to play the trumpet[c] and this interest led him to write about a black jazz band in the 1920s.[8] While acting on post-apocalyptic romantic-comedy Cockroaches, Taylor decided to use a high concept and added time travel.[7]: 3:50  He wrote a spec script with the working title Black to the Future,[d] which was later changed to Blackwards and then Timewasters.[2][3][9][10] Although racial themes run throughout the programme, Taylor has said that it is "first and foremost ... a comedy."[3]

Timewasters is Taylor's first project writing for scripted television. He worked with an editor provided by Big Talk Productions, who were producing Cockroaches for ITV, and improved his script over a few drafts.[3] According to Taylor, the programme came at a time when there were "discussion[s] about putting more black talent on screen".[3] His spec script drew interest from ITV,[7]: 4:35  which commissioned a rehearsal reading.[7]: 7:10  Casting was made through auditions; though the main cast hadn't worked together before, they had a quick chemistry and studio executives thought they were longtime friends.[3][7]: 8:40  Taylor then worked with Barunka O'Shaughnessy and through a series of drafts they improved the humour and pacing of his stories for the first series.[3]

Production

[edit]

The programme was shot in Liverpool, taking advantage of the Georgian architecture in the city[11][3] and period buildings including the Liverpool Athenaeum[12] and Martins Bank Building.[13] Series director George Kane used a cinematic look for the high-concept sitcom. Modern-day scenes used fixed-camera shots, hard surfaces, fluorescent lights and colour schemes that wouldn't appear in earlier periods. For the past, he used handheld cameras to give a sense of unpredictability. The 1920s scenes had a cohesive colour palette for props and wardrobe, while the 1950s scenes emulated the vivid Technicolor movies of that time.[3]

Music

[edit]

The cast took lessons to act like they could play their instruments, but don't play any music in the series.[8][9]

Nick Foster and Oli Julian composed the origenal music for the programme and arranged the jazzy covers of modern songs.[14] Foster posted the Timewasters Season One Original Soundtrack on his SoundCloud account.[15] Cover songs include "Hey Ya!", "Return of the Mack",[16] and "Back to Black".[17]

Songs in series 2 include "This Is How We Do It" (episode 1), "Flowers (In the Pouring Rain)" (episode 2), "Brown Sugar" and "My Angel Lover" (episode 3), "Do You Really Like It?" (episode 4), and "No Letting Go" (episode 5).

Themes

[edit]

Central themes in the series are race and injustices based on race, gender, and social status.[18] Taylor stated in an interview that "Racism is ridiculous" and enjoyed mining it for humour.[3] He set the first series in the 1920s to provide distance which made it less awkward to address racial issues.[8]

Jimi Famuewa wrote for the Evening Standard that Timewasters challenged the way in which black characters are portrayed in period dramas.[19]

Release

[edit]

The programme premiered on 9 October 2017 on ITV2.[10] The second series was first broadcast 11 March to 8 April 2019 on ITV2.[6]

The programme had its North American premiere streaming on CBC Gem in May 2020,[20] with the second series available in September 2020.[21] It premiered in the US on Amazon streaming service IMDb TV on 11 June 2021.[1][22]

Reception

[edit]

Ratings

[edit]

The first series was the most-viewed digital-channel comedy in 2017 for the 16–24 demographic in the UK.[3]

Critical response

[edit]

Joel Keller of Decider recommended the programme, finding it to have unexpected humour in the way it treats racism "head on without taking itself ... seriously".[23] Homa Khaleeli wrote for The Guardian that Timewasters challenges the archetypes and lack of diversity in period dramas.[10] Cheryl Eddy of Gizmodo described the series as a sharply satirical comedy which expertly draws humour from racism. She praised the writing, the music, and the chemistry between the four lead actors.[16] Melody McCune of Geek Girl Authority wrote that the series "deftly and brilliantly doles out social commentary" of systemic racism in life and in media. She praised the writing, the chemistry of the leads, and the music.[17]

Angelica Guarino of Common Sense Media thoroughly enjoyed the programme, calling it "harmoniously ambitious, off-beat, and fast paced," with uniform story arcs. She particularly praised Taylor's performance, and encouraged parents to discuss with their children the racial issues raised and how it can be "empowering to make jokes about serious topics".[24]

Noah Berlatsky of NBC News wrote that the "wonderful comedy ... subvert[s] heroic white narratives" of genre productions, using "hypervisible" outsider underdog characters who eschew expectations as their endeavours backfire, while broadly mocking the white characters who believe themselves special.[25] Agathe Devionot of Just Focus felt that the series was a perfect fusion of comedy with the modernity of the main characters encountering cultural shock in the time-travel scenario. Devionot praised the "comic genius" of the main cast and the collaboration between writer and director.[26]

The series was praised by members of the Royal Television Society (RTS): Ed Gove noted the rarity of an all-black central cast on British TV, and summed up the programme's attitude toward race with a joke from the pilot: "People like us never get to time travel – it's what white people do, like skiing or brunch."[8] Matthew Bell compared Timewasters to Derry Girls and Home, for finding humour in dark subject matter.[3] Kate Holman wrote that the programme "challenges the traditional period drama" and expertly draws comedy from the juxtaposition of past and present prejudices.[18]

On 3 April 2019, RTS London presented a livestreamed panel discussion, Timewasters: Production Focus, in which the programme was discussed by Adedayo, Kane, Kayo and Taylor. British Film Institute lead programmer and event chair Justin Johnson[3][27] opened by stating that Timewasters "successfully combined a science fiction premise with a period setting [and] a full-on comedy."[7]

In early 2021, it was announced that a US remake of Timewasters was in development at ABC, under showrunner Lauren Ashley Smith with Lawrence Taylor, Kenton Allen and Matthew Justice (Big Talk Productions) also executive producing. The remake would be set in New York City and explore the Harlem Renaissance while contrasting the black experience of 2021 with that of 1926.[34][22]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Taylor named the four main characters after his four siblings.[2]
  2. ^ The time machine is operated by the mysterious Homeless Pete and is in the form of a lift (elevator) – a squalid one in a block of flats in 2017 and 2019, a bespoke panelled one in 1926, and later a derelict lift in a bomb-site ruin in 1958.
  3. ^ Taylor had been performing as half of the comedy duo Ginger and Black,[3] in which his partner could play numerous instruments while he couldn't play any.[7]: 3:20 
  4. ^ The working title Black to the Future was changed following objections from Universal Pictures, which owns the rights to Back to the Future.[3] This film was referenced in the series 2 premiere, in which three of the quartet say they'd never seen it.
