Time windows were doorways in Time that allowed Time travel.
Functions
Time windows could be created by pushing energy into a Warp drive. (DW: The Girl in the Fireplace)
One type resembled a portal linking two time periods, which had the appearance of shattered glass. The only known person to be able to control these time windows was the mysterious Shopkeeper, who could send other people through them by clicking his fingers several times and pushing the windows towards them. Unlike the Time windows created by the SS Madame de Pompadour, these version could prove dangerous if left open, eventually causing the entire Earth to be sucked into the Time Vortex. (SJA: Lost in Time)
History
In 2010 the Shopkeeper sent Sarah Jane Smith, Clyde Langer and Rani Chandra to 1889, 1941 and 1553 respectively to find three objects to save Time. The amount of time they could spend in the time zones was dictated by a sand timer which, if it ran out, would leave them trapped. (SJA: Lost in Time)
The Clockwork Droid's created Time Windows placed throughout the life of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson onboard the SS Madame De Pompadour. They were closed when the Doctor broke the link by shattering one window. A single one remained open due to a loose connection allowing the Doctor to travel back to the time he came from and then he closed it with the TARDIS. (DW: The Girl in the Fireplace)
