3.5 Last Train to Christmas (2021) ”Rumba Colditz Tony”

Time Babble

Ding! Ding! All aboard!

Next stop, the Time Babble Christmas Special!

This week we’re babbling about Last Train to Christmas (2021), starring Michael Sheen, playing twelve versions of Tony, a troubled nightclub impresario, Cary Elwes as his bottoms popped off, not-alcoholic not-brother, together with a host of other characters that may, or may not exist.

On the last Christmas Eve train from London to Nottingham, Tommy/Tony jumps forwards and backwards by decades, as he wanders from carriage to carriage, creating havoc with his timeline, and multiple versions of his family.

As it’s our festive special, we’ve been scouring message boards and fansites to bring you as much fact and truths as we can stomach. Which, let’s face it, when our stomachs are full of Rumbas and Watneys Party Seven, is not a lot.

So gather round the warm festive log fire dear Babblers, to hear tales of Colditz board game etiquette, murder walls, exploding children, and an exhaustive list of Tony’s iterations.

Come stamp on butterflies with us!
