The Clocks Go Forward, prefixed as PRESS STATEMENT: The Clocks Go Forward on the story's page, was the second short story exclusively published on the U.N.I.T. website on 18 April 2005[1] by the BBC webteam. The Clocks Go Forward was the first release in the UNIT Press Briefings series of in-universe press briefings.
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
A press briefing released by UNIT reminds the press and any other readers that the clocks go forwards at 01:00 on Sunday morning.
Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Sunday is the beginning of British Summertime.
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- While not stated in the story, the clocks went forwards on 27 March 2005, if British Summertime is the same in the DWU as it is in the real world.
- If the date holds true, it means that this story is actually the sixth in the UNIT Press Briefings, chronologically.
