The Butterfly Effect
A Radio Script for the first meeting of the Time Travellers, James Urquhart and Elizabeth Bicester.
James Urquhart, science lecturer, is living happily in retirement in Chichester with his wife and time travelling companion, Elizabeth Bicester, a Victorian graduate.
One evening they decide to listen to how they first met using a strange device given to them by H G Wells which has recorded their lives together and conversations.
The device begins narrating how James in 2015, whilst taking a photo of a butterfly in a forest, passed through a fracture in space-time and arrived at a cricket match at Hamgreen in 1873 and met Elizabeth.
However, what they hear is not what they remembered.. They realise that they are listening to themselves in a different timeline.
A timeline where Elizabeth decides not to come to the future and live with James.
They must find a way to convince her to join him otherwise their own world may vanish.

Bruce Macfarlane is the author of the humorous and sometimes romantic Time Travel Diaries of James Urquhart, a scientist, living in the 21st century and Elizabeth Bicester, a Victorian Cambridge graduate whom he accidently met at a cricket match in 1873.
He spent most of his working life in radiation protection and emergency planing with the nuclear industry, and is now enjoying retirement with his wife, Julia, and their cockapoo, Lulu, on the south coast of West Sussex, just a few minutes’ walk from the sea.
A life of writing scientific reports and reading early science fiction, especially the genre of time travel such as the works of Anderson, Simak and H. G. Wells encouraged him to start writing his own time travel adventures.
When he’s not writing he’s out walking on the South Downs trying to remember all the names of the flowers and mushrooms, Julia, has identified.
When it’s raining, he can be found sometimes in his “shed” as Julia calls it, trying to master new jazz chords instead of doing the ironing.
His stories have been described as “Tom Holt meets P.G. Wodehouse meets Philip K. Dick meets Fortean Times.”
