GREAT SCOTT! The day that ALL Back to the Future fans have been waiting for is finally here! Ever since Marty and Doc Brown set the dials in the DeLorean to OCT 21 2015 in Back to the Future II and sped off into the unknown, we dreamt about what the world would be like so far in the future, a whole 26 years into the unknown. Would it be like the film? Would it be weirder or just the same? Only time itself would tell....

Well the future is officially here! We might not have quite the same taste in fashion that the film suggests, well.....most of us. And we sure don't have hoverboards and flying cars just yet (come on science people!) but thankfully LOADS of great BTTF goodies have made it... check out some of our exclusive designs below!

To celebrate this momentous occasion in 80's movie history, we're celebrating the only way we know how! Rocking our favourite Back The The Future T-Shirts with double ties of course, rooting for the Cubs and launching a good old fashioned giveaway!

Tea and biscuits! How can it be the weekend so soon??

Sitting down once again with a hot, fresh, refreshing brew complete with a dash of milk and a spoon of sugar, we find ourselves once again settled in and ready for another weekend full of classic retro films which will transport us not only back in time, but to far and distant lands where anything is possible. We'll gently blow the steam from our favourite mug before enjoying our creation with only the most delicious but messy biscuits around while catching only the most iconic actors in their top roles.

Well....we're stunned! This doesn't happen very often, but every once in a while we learn a cheeky fact or stat that leaves our eyes wide and our mouths open. Today is one of those days.

Yes indeediedodie, as hard and possibly scary as it might be, the humble PlayStation (or magic grey box of awesomeness as we like to think of it) turns a whopping 20 years old today! Yep all those years ago, kids and big kids all over Europe first got their eager hands on this little CD playing moment in gaming history and well.... things were never the same again.

Bringing us some of the best game ever including the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Tekken, MediEvil, Gran Theft Auto, Gran Turismo, Tony Hawks, and soooooo many more, this console has played such a huge part of many of our lives which countless hours spent and many amazing moments with friends.

Put simply, along with others we simply cannot imagine growing up without these little bundles of cool around and would also like to say a huge thank you to our and all the parents out there who went out and made our dreams come true all those years ago. You rock!

Retro telly fans! We've just caught wind of some pretty big news here at Truffle Towers which miiiiight just get a few tongues wagging.

Yep, it seems the beloved 80s Stephen J. Cannell classic The A-Team is set for a reboot from the people at 20th Century Fox. They like to play it safe huh!

Originally running from 1983 to 1987, The A-Team was THEEE show of the time with more stunts and crashes than you could shake a stick at, iconic catchphrases, guest star appearances and one of the coolest vans ever created!

Teaming up with the Fast & Furious writer-producer Chris Morgan, this reboot will once again revolve around a diverse team of American Special Forces operatives, but this time with both male and female members to help jazz is up a bit. The group has been framed for a crime they didn’t commit and set out to clear their names by uncovering the black-ops conspiracy that set them up. Usual stuff.

As always, they will discover people in need along the way who they can lend a helping hand the best way they know how.
