A Trip Through Imagine going to see England play football in the world cup. In 1966. Or you could go to 2999 to see what kind of parties they're

preparing for the third millennium. What about going back a hundred years and putting some money into a bank account? Back in the present, you'll have accumulated more money than the Sultan of Brunei could ever dream of. You know, with a time machine, anything is possible! Alok Jha looks at how you could book a trip through time.
