Thanks for reviewing all the movies that I love! Despite the many plot holes, Biggles has always been a favourite film of mine.

I have really warm memories of watching this film. It would have been at The Odeon Cinema, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham. I loved it and it is a happy memory of mine I always go back to when I think of the film.

Literally one of my favourite films. I’m in the process of moving house and got rid of 95% of my DVD collection and Biggles Adventures in Time survived the purge as it’s not aired very often and it’s awesome

Great review. I agree with all your points. The scenes around the gasworks are really great. Plot needed fleshing out. Time travel effects could have done with some lighting/smoke - something to make them look a bit less 'post production'. I mean the title of the film in the opening credits had the same special effects as the time travel scenes. 😂 Overall I still really like it though.

I really like your retrospecitves due to a combination of excellent and informative narration, good editing, and large doses of nostalgia too. I have fond memories of this film, loved the song "Do you wanna be a hero" and yet think you stated the reason for its poor performance perfectly - What to do with an out-of-fashion and out-of-time hero. The time hopping storyline was a brave attempt to update Biggles for a modern audience, if an ill thought out one. The original fans loved the setting and ideals and so time travel and modern times were bound to alienate them. Modern fans wouldn't feel the pull of dashing heroics from a bygone age that were by then a thing of the past. It is an ongoing debate about whether if you're making something for a fanbase should you stick as close to the source material as possible to please the fans, or try to create new fans by mixing in some modern themes or trends. Mat, what is your opinion on films made from a certain fanbase? Should they remain faithful or evolve?

I have a huge soft spot for this movie from when I was a kid. Yes I know its an objectively rubbish movie with a crazy plot but I love it.

I remeber the amstrad computer game. I just couldn't complete it.

I guess if you've read all the biggles books you would see and know the flaws in the movie and not like it? But I never read any of the books and just liked the movie for what it is "total fantasy" I guess people sometimes want and expect too much? I myself have been guilty of that with the movie Prometheus "I hate it" where as others love it!
