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 chronological threats and the occasional villain, including the Greenwich Meanie, Aunty Meridian and the occasional dinosaur, from pre-history and all that. Pip Pip! He is armed only with his wits, and his Trick Clock.
The Colonel has a wife, Constance, and, perhaps more importantly, a moustache. He works for Queen Victoria.

Opening Theme Song Lyrics
- Sit back, don't touch that radio dial
- Bags packed, and take along a big smile
- Bring snacks, we may be gone for a while
- It's Colonel Tick-Tock time
- 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!
