OWEN MALLOY, caretaker at the local school, is approached by a shadowy figure named MELVIN (Patrick Barlow) while locking up one day. MELVIN appoints him ?Caretaker of The World, Brighton and Hove Division.? But is this MELVIN really a civil servant from the future or just a mad tramp?
After some haggling over a scooter, JAMIE agrees to be OWEN?S sidekick and so their missions begin: The first involves the confiscation of some homebrew which, according to MELVIN, will become contaminated in 2013. Curiously MELVIN needs it brought to him in order to ?process? it.
A British spin on the U.S. time travelling saga, Quantum Leap, Brave Young Men is written by Tom Basden and Sam Leifer. It is directed by Sam Leifer and produced by Teddy Leifer. Executive Producers are Henry Normal and Alison MacPhail for Baby Cow Productions.
