Peter Snow 'Returns to the Future'

Peter Snow and guests board a time-travelling DeLorean to 'Return to the Future'.

To mark the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future in 2015, Radio 4 commissioned a special ten part series of programmes with Peter Snow and some of our most interesting thinkers and journalists.

The question: if you could go anywhere in history, either backwards or forwards in time, where would you travel to and why?

In the second part of this hour long omnibus, Peter Snow clambers into a time travelling DeLorean to take his guests on temporal trip into the worlds of fashion, big data, currency, the ruins of Rome and to 1662 for a spot of dodo watching.

Contributions from ITV's Political Editor Robert Peston, fashion writer Hermione Eyre, digital anthropologist Genevieve Bell, architectural broadcaster Jonathan Glancey and conservationist Chris Packham.

Produced by Caitlin Smith, David Stenhouse and Mark Rickards.
