In Timewasters season 1 episode 1, titled "Episode #1.1," we are introduced to the main characters of the show - a struggling jazz band from South London. The band, consisting of four members - Nick, Jason, Horace, and Lauren - are struggling to make a name in the music industry. They have been practicing for months and have been rehearsing for a gig that is supposed to take place in a few days.
The episode kicks off with the band members meeting in their rehearsal space and discussing the upcoming gig. Nick, the band's drummer, suggests that they should play some original tracks, while Lauren, the keyboardist, is reluctant to do so. She suggests that they should stick to playing covers in order to appease the crowd.
As the band is discussing their set list, the doorbell rings, and a stranger named Nick appears. He claims to be a music agent who has heard their music and is interested in working with them. The band members are initially skeptical of Nick but agree to listen to what he has to say.
Nick pitches a wild idea to the band - to travel back in time to the 1920s where they would be able to play jazz music in its prime and make a name for themselves. The band members are initially hesitant to go along with the idea, but they eventually agree after Nick promises that they will be able to return to the present day after their gig.
The band members then find themselves transported back to the 1920s. They are initially stunned by the changes in fashion, technology and society. They eventually make their way to a jazz club where they are scheduled to perform.
The club's owner, Biggy, is initially skeptical of the band but agrees to give them a chance to prove themselves. The band performs a few tracks, and they are immediately a hit with the crowd. They are showered with applause and appreciation, and they bask in the adulation for a while.
But things take a turn when Horace, the band's bassist, gets taken away by the police for "loitering." This leads to a frantic search for Horace, and the band members eventually come across a group of suffragettes who are protesting for women's rights. They join in on the protest and manage to free Horace from police custody.
The episode ends with the band members back in their rehearsal space in the present day, reeling from the experience of time travel. They are all excited to have experienced something so surreal and find themselves pondering the implications of their travel.
Overall, Timewasters season 1 episode 1 is an entertaining and humorous take on time travel.
