Concept:
Most of us can point to an adult figure - a parent, a teacher, or a neighbour who, when we were young and perhaps a bit confused - pointed the way, gave advice or shared their expertise so that we could work out a problem or attain an important goal.

What if this person - this mentor - could be anyone from the past?

The Computer Program:
Fifteen year-old Oliver Cates has invented VISICRON, an amazing piece of software that transports any historical figure into the present day for 36 hours, after which they return to the exact moment they left, having no conscious memory of their adventure.

Characters: The series features Oliver and his close friend Dee Sampson, a 15 year-old information junkie who has an IMAGISCREEN, a holographic display system.

Each week, a problem arises and Oliver and Dee select a historical figure to mentor them. Utilizing the latest in computer graphic effects, they zap the historical figure into the present to help them find a way to solve the problem on their own initiative.

Loads of fun results from the "displacement" of historical figures into the twentieth century and also from the kids' frenetic attempts to familiarize these characters with the seemingly strange customs of modern day society.

Wait a minute ... who's mentoring who? Starring: Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Joan of Arc, Oscar Wilde, Napoleon, St Nicholas, Cleopatra, Beethoven, Daniel Boone, Harriet Tubman, Lewis Carrol, Frederick Banting, Edgar Allan Poe.
