Time is Everything (feature)

Time is Everything was the name of three pieces of written fiction advertising superannuation in New Zealand. They tied in with the televised Time is Everything adverts.

The feature was accompanied with images of Tom Baker as the Doctor.

The feature states that the Doctor has been acquired by New Zealand Superannuation Services to advise people about their futures. Offering an in-universe explanation to his fourth wall breaks.

Publisher’s summary
In the words of someone who’s been there before - however you plan to spend your future, you should always plan on having something to spend.

If you’re planning for the future, take the advice of someone who’s been there.
The Doctor is currently 764 years old, with two hearts and travels through time as easily as a shopping trip. He has visited unborn worlds and encountered many civilisations, not all of them friendly, and he is a Time Lord from Gallefrey in the constellation of Casterbrious.

This is deemed nice for some. The question is posed that who is better qualified to advise people how to plan for the future? Who better to be at hand when someone has decisions regarding tomorrow? It’s a startling revelation that the future isn’t just decided by a single Time Lord, but everyone. All they need is a number. 0800 TARDIS.

Dialling the number will get someone in touch with New Zealand Superannuation Services. They can help anyone plan for the future so they can enjoy the present. Another pearl of wisdom is that dialling 0800 TARDIS can mean someone can invest their savings at an even higher rate of return.

The offers and deals are then explained before ending with saying if you’re planing on having money in the future then listen to someone who’s been there.

Could this be the offer of the 21st Century?
The Doctor states that when you’ve travelled in time as much as he has not much surprises him. Japan winning the Rugby World Cup in 2032 and building a bridge across the Cook Straight in 2020 may have raised an eyebrow, but what he’s selling is something quite special.

The Doctor then explains the superannuation details. He states the 21st century was a fun place to be the last time he was there and explains you should have something to spend in the future.
