Synopsis:
Trotty Veck is a ticket-porter - a man who fetches and carries packages, letters and deliveries for a small sixpence here and there. He doesn't have much but he is happy, gentle and lives a simple, obedient life. That life is given its order by the sound of the bells of his local church - breakfast, lunch, dinner all from the sounf of the bells. He sometimes even hears them speaking to him. . .In the run-up to the festive season Trotty falls asleep after a long day's carrying and delivering. Woken by the church bells, The Chimes, and then summoned up the tower by their mysterious power, he has just one chance to change this world... but will he listen to the bells?
