Cant remember too much about it but it was set in some sort of antique/junk shop which kids were working/having adventures in.

All I remember is the clock on the wall, the hands of the clock would go backwards as if in time and the kids would be in another adventure.

Can anyone remember?

was it teabag & teeshirt?
Elizabeth Estenson starred as the tea-addicted witch Talula Bag, who somehow lived in a teapot in an antique shop. Her objective: total world domination. But unfortunately for her, the only aid she had in this task was a blond kid, T-Shirt (John Hasler), who she’d somehow trapped in her little world.

Each of the seemingly innumerable series progressed in exactly the same manner. A young girl would enter the antique shop with the intention of buying something nice for her mum/granny/therapist, but would be zapped into the teapot by T-Bag as soon as she touched it. Once inside, the girl would be dispatched on missions by T-Bag to collect a different object every episode, which gave the whole thing a bit of a Crystal Maze feel, but which somehow forwarded the witch’s chances of become the supreme world dictator. Midway in the series, T-Shirt would secretly join forces with the girl, and they would always succeed in thwarting T-Bag, and sending her spinning back into the teapot for another series, although T-Shirt never managed to liberate himself. Still, his double-dealing was so predictable that I always wondered why T-Bag didn’t just have the little brat vaporised, or at least turned into a ferret? After the fourth series, Talula was replaced by her sister, Tabitha Bag (Georgina Hale), although the now teenage T-Shirt still moped around waiting for the next stage-school girl to arrive down the spout.

For those who fondly remember these luke-warm paranormal antics, here is a comprehensive run-down of the series we were treated to by writers Lee Pressman and Grant Cathro: T-Bag Strikes Again, T-Bag Bounces Back, T-Bag and the Revenge of the T-Set, T-Bag and the Pearls of Wisdom, T-Bag and the Rings of Olympus, T-Bag and the Sunstones of Montesuma, and Take Off with T-Bag.

Walking into an antique store, you notice several clocks on the wall. The first clock reads 9:00, the second reads 6:07, the third 10:45, the fifth 7:45, the sixth 7:52, and the seventh 4:37.
What should the fourth clock read?

it should be blinking 12:00 because it’s one of those special antique clocks that’s digital, haha!
