Time Flies was the second story in the audio anthology Seabird One, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Alison Winter and featured Angela Bruce as Brigadier Bambera and Alex Jordan as Sergeant Savarin and introduced Yemisi Oyinloye as Louise Rix.
Publisher's summary
Bambera and Savarin are summoned to a secretive genetic research facility by Dr Louise Rix, UNIT's rebellious new scientific adviser. Two scientists have vanished in mysterious circumstances, and despite the assurances of the sinister Dr Grange, UNIT suspects there's something very wrong with the centre's caterpillar population. Can they survive the fruits of Dr Grange's experiments? And will Savarin survive Bambera and Rix's rocky new relationship?
Plot
At the Caverhurst Seedbank and Research Facility in Hampshire, Dr Andrews finds that all of the butterflies in Greenhouses A-D have gone missing and that the floors are covered in caterpillars. He reports to head botanist and site manager Dr Grange, who asks him to examine one of the caterpillars; when he does, the caterpillar bites him and he ages backwards.
Sergeant Savarin shows Brigadier Bambera around the new UNIT base in Central London when Dr Louise Rix, appointed by Central Control as the new scientific adviser, calls and tells her about goings on at the CSRF. Rix tells her that she needs to come and investigate, which Bambera does not appreciate, and she is pulled away from the payphone by security. Bambera and Savarin head to the CSRF to meet her and learn that Dr Andrews has gone missing and that a research student has died, although the staff seem unable to comprehend what happened to her.
Bambera, Savarin and Rix meet with Dr Grange and are told that the quarantine was apparently initiated in error and, in any case, would only be to protect the seeds. Bambera is content to leave the matter upon learning that Dr Andrews' funding for his pollination project was pulled and that he may have committed suicide, but Rix insists on investigating the greenhouses where the research student was last seen.
