I've also found a technically Millenium Falcon

I can hear the Theme Tune in my head

This is HMS Star , she was built in 1898 and is a destroyer.

So technically the Royal Navy had an Imperial Star Destroyer

If you get to final of the Apprentice . You have to rely on a bunch of egotistical back stabbing ingrat, who would die of thirst in a brewery let alone remain sober to launch your brand who have already been eliminated from the process who have by this point have no skin in the game and can run amok

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"

By 1985, his mansion has been destroyed by fire, so he subsequently resides in the mansion's garage. Doc's garage is packed with gadgets and he has an impressive clock collection. Although he is American and a baseball fan, Doc's father was German and his family name was Von Braun.

in Doc hiring Marty as his part-time lab assistant.
Doc was born into a wealthy family and in 1955 lives in a mansion, but spends thirty years burning through his wealth to realise his vision of time travel.[22]

So i did some digging Bob Gale stated that Doc Brown met Marty when the teenager was about 14 years old. Marty sneaked into Doc's lab after learning that he was considered a lunatic and was discovered there by Doc. Marty considered Doc to be cool and this resulted

Also Doc was rich , how did he make his money ? Deloreans are not cheap

Would you risk your pet in an untested nuclear time machine ?

How do Marty and Doc know each other?

Well enough to meet in a deserted car park in the middle of the night on a school night.

Thoughts from back to the future .

How do you get the reputation that you're willing and able to build a nuclear bomb in terrorists circles

It seems coincidental that the Delorean needs Plutonium . Which came first the plutonium or the bomb . Did Doc commission the terrorists?

Here's a whole new rabbit hole for you. Camouflage by strapping lights on outside of a ship

Apparently 3000 years ago

The age of Piracy was mostly over by 1730 so unlikely source of the gold . Gold Ingots are specified in the story not coins However just across the channel in 1792 the French Revolution was occurring including the theft of the French Crown Jewels .

Also it's not called 5 on an island containing gold from legitimate commercial business ventures

So Poole had significant trade with Newfoundland but Canadian gold mining didn't develop until 1823 so an unlikely source.

The ship was wrecked off Kirrin Island and CaptainEd by a member of George's Family . Kirren Island is off Dorset so ship was probably based in Poole or Portland

So we're talking 150 to 180 years before for the shipwreck with the book being published in 1942 that makes it from 1762 to 1792 which means it's likely to be a East Indiaman or West Indiaman

From the first Famous Five book

On their way to Kirrin Island, George shows her cousins a shipwreck, explaining it was her great-great-great-grandfather's ship. He had been transporting gold when the ship was wrecked in a storm,

Her name is Alberta she lives in Vanvouver....

As soon as I escape IKEA I'll be right over

Found one voice over by Peter Purves not the one I was thinking of . So there's more than one . Proper nightmare stuff . Let's just say no one is buying the child in it socks for Christmas ever again

I'm pretty sure one of those nightmare inducing public safety films that were floating about in the 80s covered this

I have to admit, this made me tear up a bit.
I'm a sentimental old fool.

So more like Genghis Khan's horses than modern horses ?
