Her Majesty's Tempus

After the assassination of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert enlists an experimental science to travel back and save her. He succeeds, creating a team to protect her from four future assassinations and steer the course of the Empire.

The name came before the idea - it popped into my head and I invented an idea around it.

It's still unresolved as to whether the name should be Her Majesty's Tempus or Tempers. I liked both, the idea came from 'Tempus' and wondering what would happen if a monarch could control time around their reign?

I had this cool idea that there would be a series of stasis rooms beneath Buckingham Palace where time stands still. The device for launching into the past would at the centre. 

It could still be there now, in a sealed off section. 

This room is always safe - 'time locked' - incase of any mistakes during incursions.

Initially they hire ex-army and police officers as agents to control the Empires time. These agents are kept in the stasis rooms, a sort of makeshift barracks. To prevent them changing things for their own ends an Internal Affairs team is created who secretly travel back and remove the agents from reality. Stopping them being born etc.

Any attempt to then leave the stasis rooms inside the present, altered time line would result in instant dissolution. The agents are prisoners, only to be replaced in reality once their tour is complete. Possibly never. Upon realising one of them goes rogue and needs to be stopped.

Basically another reason for me to indulge in sci-fi with a Victorian aesthetic. I'd like to see it done as a big budget BBC costume drama with subtle effects work.
