With Felicity Montagu and Brian Bovell

 Felicity Montagu, Johnny Vegas and Brian Bovell have joined the cast of sci-fi-comedy The Unreason.

The film stars  Ruth Syratt and Megan Stevenson as the owners of a vintage shop who stumble across a time machine, which allows them to travel back to the past to restock their shop… but each time unwittingly damaging the space-time fabric.

The three new cast members will play the presenters of a cancelled 1980s science show who invented the device.

Detectorists star Sophie Thompson had previously been announced as playing the jail-keeper of The Unreason: a hellish dimension where people and objects from throughout time become lost; with Tony Way playing an off-beat inventor who comes to the aid of the time-travellers.

Director and co-writer Chris Reading  released a five-minute teaser of the idea back in 2017:
