So, a group known as the Hill Valley Project is recreating Back To The Future on Twitter.
It means we get to live through Fox's 1985 time-travel classic in real time. each of the principle characters has a Twitter account of their own.
Marty McFly.
A high-school slacker with a skill for guitars and skateboarding. Marty has a big heart but an excess of pride: no-one calls him chicken.
Dr Emmett 'Doc' Brown.
An eccentric scientist and inventor, and Marty's best friend. Through his invention of the Flux Capacitor, he has just discovered the secret of time travel. But sourcing the plutonium required to power his time machine has got him into trouble with Libyan terrorists...
George McFly.
A 1950s school nerd with a lack of confidence and a creepy Peeping Tom habit. But a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger could change his life forever...
Lorraine Baines McFly.
A 1950s teenage girl with a penchant for behaviours she will in later life call "looking for trouble"; drinking liquor, smoking and parking in cars with boys. But a crush on the wrong boy looks set to change the course of history...
Biff Tannen.
A small-town bully who makes George McFly's life a misery as both boy and man. But after Marty's intervention, could all that change?
