Ticktock banner

The Colonel Tick Tock title banner as depicted in the Original Graphic Novel.

The fey Colonel Tick-Tock polices the fractured timeline for Her Majesty's Royal Chrono Patrol, interrupting not-always-terribly-well-researched historical moments and facing down the occasional villain, including the Greenwich Meanie, Auntie Meridian and the occasional dinosaur, from pre-history and all that. Pip Pip!

The Colonel has a wife, Constance, and, perhaps more importantly, a moustache. He works for Queen Victoria.

Colonel Tick Tock Additional Theme Song Lyrics

Get set, to travel through yesterday
You bet, adventure's right round the way
Forget, your cares 'cause fun's here to stay
It's Colonel TickTock time
Take a mind-bending trip to anywhen
With the royal chrono-patrol
Up is down, squares are round, and now is then
When you travel via time hole
Marco Polo’s on a cell phone
Tutankahmun rides the Cyclone
And Al Capone guns down his clone for copping his calzone!
You'll see, that you can meet anyone
Take tea, with Atilla the Hun
Feel free, to set your watches for fun!
It's Colonel TickTock time.

Closing Theme Song Lyrics

So cheers, it’s been a marvelous trip
Seems years since I’ve had such a pip
My dears, I trust your lids did a flip
It’s Colonel TickTock time.
A decade, a year might well disappear
A fantastical magical trick
What’s a month here or there, I’ve got oodles to spare!
That’s what make Colonel TickTock tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Hooray! For the Man of the Hour
Parades, and garlands of flowers
Make way, for chronological power!
It’s Colonel TickTock
With my trick clock!
Colonel TickTock time!
It's Colonel TickTock time!


Behind the Scenes

In the M Bar days of the Thrilling Adventure Hour, long before it was podcast, The Cross-Time Adventure of Colonel Tick-Tock was more theme song than segment. It would feature a long opening, then Colonel Tick-Tock would very quickly solve a problem with time travel, then go into the closing theme, which had several false stops that would only cut into even more closing theme.
