The film opens with two men painting a warship, and one is telling the other about the remarkable accomplishments of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It turned out to be Angus Lennie’s voice – he played “Ives” in "The Great Escape" from 1963 – and that seemed right. Through a mix of animation and live-action footage, we're taken on a journey to a planet not far removed from the world of "Monty Python," where Brunel's achievements are presented through satirical songs and conversations. Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and even William Gladstone appear as the story progresses, showing how Britain transformed from a relatively unremarkable place into an industrially powerful empire. There were moments that made me laugh out loud; the writing cleverly pokes fun at nearly every group that profited from Brunel’s bridges, railways, ships, and other complex inventions. It's clear where some of the inspiration came from—you can see echoes of Lionel Jeffries and even those old British Rail advertisements from the 1970s. There's also a quick jab at the effects of industrial downturn as this incredibly dense amount of history – whether real or imagined – is squeezed into thirty minutes of unusual filmmaking. “Flying Officer Ives” was involved in tunneling; so too was IKB. Sadly, no Steve McQueen appears.
