Red and Bobby go back to 1892. Bobby has been dreaming of Elon Musk and £10,000 notes, The escalator has been invented, Coca Cola has just been incorporated, Sherlock Holmes is making his debut, anarchists are being annoying and Timmy the Tortoise retires from the Navy. Also Red dominates a load of four year olds at sports.
