Father Time (comic story)

The TARDIS arrives at the Time Temple, full of enormous clocks. The Doctor and Jamie step out next to a large grandfather clock and then go on to meet Father Time. This man is upset when he hears that they are time travellers. He uses the bell on a giant alarm clock to knock them out. When they come round the Doctor is tied to a pendulum which is swinging him ever nearer to boiling. Jamie is slowly being buried alive in an hourglass.

Father Time leaves them to their deaths so the Doctor swings his pendulum faster until the bolt flies out and the pendulum smashes the glass imprisoning Jamie. Father Time hears the crash takes up a clock hand to throw at them but the Doctor jumps onto a giant cuckoo as and is pulled into a clock. Father Time then arms himself with a crossbow and waits for the clock to strike again. As it does, Jamie leaps at him to stop him taking his shot. the Doctor falls from the clock and hurts his ankle.

Jamie's sporran is full of sand and he throws it in Father Time's face so that he can escape with the Doctor. Clock robots are blocking the route to the TARDIS but Jamie uses Father Time's scythe to fight them off. When one of the robots knocks Father Time over they take their opportunity to get into the TARDIS.
