McTaggart&rsquo\;s 1908 &lsquo\;The Unreality of Time&rsquo\; is rightly recognised as sparking the debate between philosophers who hold the &lsquo\;real nature&rsquo\; of time to be an A-series\, and those who take it to be a B-series. Bertrand Russell has been described as the &lsquo\;father&rsquo\; of B-theory\, but the parentage of A-theory is murky. This paper argues we should look to fellow &lsquo\;new realist&rsquo\; G. E. Moore\, who espoused anti-realism about time until late 1898 and then became a &lsquo\;common-sense&rsquo\; A-theorist and presentist. I put Moore&rsquo\;s shifting views in context\, explore his positions\, and argue he owes a great debt to &lsquo\;old realist&rsquo\; Henry Sidgwick.&nbsp\; </p>
