The [[Third Doctor]] claimed that he and his friends at school on [[Gallifrey]] used to make time flow analogs to "spoil each others' time experiments." | The [[Third Doctor]] claimed that he and his friends at school on [[Gallifrey]] used to make time flow analogs to "spoil each others' time experiments." | ||
After | After {{Delgado}} took control of [[TOMTIT]], the Doctor fashioned a time flow analog out of things such as silverware, [[wine]] bottle corks, a corkscrew, napkin rings, an upturned ashtray, key fobs, and a bodkin needle. This was used to temporarily impede his continued abuse of the machine. | ||
The people watching the Doctor build the analog thought it was a quirky creation. [[Jo Grant]] did not understand why the Doctor was having her fetch ordinary commodities, but trusted his judgement, and [[Ruth Ingram]] initially believed it was "just a ridiculous piece of modern art". [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] in particular found his contraption nonsensical and apparently useless, as he quickly ridiculed the Doctor when his apparatus failed to work the first time he activated it, already annoyed at being called a "philistine" by the Doctor for questioning his unusual methods. | The people watching the Doctor build the analog thought it was a quirky creation.

However, [[Stuart Hyde]] offered the Doctor a cup of [[tea]] to drown his sorrows, causing the Doctor to realise the analog needed tea leaves to work. He drank the cup and placed the empty mug on top of his analog, and this time, it began to work flawlessly. The Brigadier resigned his opinion of the device, while in contrast, [[Sergeant]] [[Benton]] was delightfully fascinated to see it work, along with the others in the room. Unfortunately, the Master soon caught on that TOMTIT was being jammed and raised its power output, overloading the time flow analog. It fried the device with a pop of sparks and knocked the tea mug to the floor.
