Jack Cameron, a Christmas grump, is taken back to 1965 by the ghost of Christmas Past who
then decides to stay there, putting Jack and the cosmos at risk. It’s then up to Christmas
Present to save the day, although in the end it’s
deus ex machina rather than
Christmas Present who puts things right.
— Michael Main
Past: Charles Dickens was a former target of ours who chose to
write a book about his experiences even though we explicitly told him not to.
Jack: But it was a great book—
Past:
It was crap, like everything he did! Did you ever read A Tale of Two Cities? ‘It was
the best of times, it was the worst
. . .’ Make up your mind,
Mr. Dickens!
