The Ministry of Time: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The Ministry of Time is a newly established government department gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Our heroine Sophy achieves a hard-fought promotion in the civil service, only to learn that her role is to help a time traveller acclimatise to the modern world as part of a top-secret Ministry programme. Commander Graham Gore is a Victorian polar explorer and one of several ‘expats' from history who are now part of the Ministry's extraordinary experiment. The professional friendship between Sophy and Graham develops into an intense forbidden romance that reveals the transporting power of love across centuries, just as the sinister nature of the Ministry's true intentions increasingly puts them in danger.
