...or does it?
"You want to know about the Time Keepers?

"We work in their shadow, every tick and tock of our lives. We hear them in the workings of the Great Clock. We work hard, turn our hands - but we all wind down in time, and that is when they come for us: when our time is up."

The TARDIS lands in between times, in a time where this is no time. A time in which nothing can possibly be. But something is...

The Doctor, Charley and C'rizz are rats in the wheelwork, a threat to the schedule of a world where timing is everything. And the seconds are counting down to a fateful future that has already happened. Unless they can beat the clock.

Tick, tock.

An intriguing story featuring the Eighth Doctor, Charley and alien companion C'rizz; the three are now bedded in and work well as a unit. One of those 'timey-wimey' stories as the Tenth Doctor would say; it is engaging and interesting if a little convoluted - one that requires the listener's full attention.

beware the clockwork men
But not the ones from the tv episode the girl in the fireplace. This is a completely different lot. An unfortunate coincidence, but that shouldn't be allowed to get in the way of a good bit of traditional doctor who.

The eighth doctor and his companions arrive in a world where time is frozen. And nasty clockwork robots edit people's existence during the frozen periods. This is a relatively primitive society that is in the grip of a nasty organisation, ruled over by a nasty machine, that run the planet with an iron fist, and root out anything that's vaguely inefficient.

This is clearly a satire on modern corporations and their business practises. The story works well in that respect, and never gets in the way of the rest of it, with the doctor and co. inspiring great change by their actions.

Good characters, and a decent story. It's not classic stuff, but it's good solid doctor who by a writer who knows how to produce it, and it's a very good listen

Time Works Review
A very enjoyable story, nothing bad to say about the delivery, on time and in excellent state
