He blethers on a bit for the first couple of minutes, then shows the ‘proof’ he refers to. I was underwhelmed. I thought that time-travellers from the future would have wireless headsets at the very least…

I’m going to go out on a limb here, but… I’ll wildly speculate that she was probably camera-shy. It was an industry in its infancy; there were probably not many professional extras at the time.

Back then camera shy wasn’t so much an issue for a whole bunch of reasons, but in this case she was simply holding a hearing aid anyway, rather than a mobile phone.
I prefer to encourage the time traveller story though.

Well, obviously time travellers wouldn’t want to stand out too much and the flux capacitor needs a wired system. If you think you can do better then you invent a time machine and sneak into classic films of the past. Yeesh. Some people. Always trying to nitpick. Just for that they won’t let you ride a dinosaur or see the Alpha Centauri habitation domes.

Flux capacitor, my arse. Can’t you tell a Gallifrey hearing horn from a pre production iPhone?
Alternatively, the man’s a nutter.

You are assuming that a Gallifrey hearing horn isn’t the same thing as an iPhone. They have an app for anything, you know. Apple probably make them for the Time Lords at some point in the future.
