Dead on Time was Bargus's big project for the year 2004 - slightly more adventurous in terms of numbers of actors compared to The Bear, Bargus's previous short film. We have ITV West Workshop to thank for the majority of our extras.

Dead on Time

Time is always one step ahead of us, you can never beat the clock...or can you? John Gifford buys more than just a box of junk at a carboot sale. Amongst nothing but camera parts there is an item which reveals itself to John as his ticket out of his dreary life.
