5 Most Unlikely Time Travellers From Film and TV

We guess you have to be a little bit strange to travel through time. Here's our list of some of the most unlikely time travelling weirdoes.

It takes a certain type of person to travel through time. We often find that it's those least likely to actually do it that figure it out while those who've toiled for years just never figure it out. To celebrate the release of Looper, here's our list of the 5 most unlikely time travellers in the history of cinema and television. If you think of any more then drop us a note in the comments box below.

5. Count Duckula

In the whole of Transylvania, there's not a Vampire zanier than DUCK-U-LA! He won't bite beast or man, because he's vegetarian ... he's also a time traveling duck who uses his ancient, clearly magical castle to transport himself anywhere in the world and, as we've been reminded, anywhere in time too. That's how he meets his previous incarnations as well as Queen Elizabeth the 1st. He is often chased by Dr Von Goosewing a fearless but shit vampire hunter who so desperately tries to end the life of the friendly misunderstood duck. Of course this was kids TV so he never managed to kill Duckula, and sadly Duckula never broke from his veg loving ways and ripped out Von Goosewing's throat with his teeth. Never mind. Still a vampire duck, his gigantic bumbling nanny and devilish butler make up the weirdest triangle of time travellers we think we've ever come across.

4. James Cole - Twelve Monkeys

Poor James Cole. He's thrown in a loony bin somewhere in the future and sent back in time to collect evidence pertaining to a virus that was unleashed years before so that his captors in the future can figure out a) where it came from and b) how they can eradicate it. James is happy to volunteer for this missions under the belief he will be pardoned for his crimes back in the future however he soon comes to realise that he is in fact merely a human guinea pig and quickly escapes in to 1990s Baltimore. Again considered insane Cole ends up in an asylum where he meets a bizarre urchin by the name of Jeffrey. An unlikely friendship is born and the idea of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys begins to take shape.
