Tick tock tick tock tick tock … how lovely to hear an old clock marking time on the radio, especially when accompanied by a gentle woodwind “cuck-ooh” or the “bong” of an hour chime. Plenty of such delicious noise in Radio 4’s Time Flies, a half-hour documentary about Roman and Maz Piekarski, brothers who own the largest collection of cuckoo clocks in the world. They live near Knutsford in Cheshire, close to where I was brought up: their soothing, familiarly accented voices, plus the ticking clocks, was a reverie that made me smile.
