Jamie (Doctor Who Series One)
First Mentioned: Doctor Who Series One Episode Nine: "The Empty Child"
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series One Episode Ten: "The Doctor Dances"
Played By: Albert Valentine
Born in London in the year of 1937 to a young woman called Nancy, Jamie never knew that she was his mother, who out of shame for giving birth to him as a teenager told him that she was his sister.
Scared of the bombs and being on his own, Jamie followed Nancy one evening of the London Blitz during 1941 and was crushed by the Chula Ambulance (that had been thrown away by Captain Jack Harkness). His injuries included a "massive head trauma in his left side, a partial collapse in the chest cavity and a scar on the back of his right hand". Being the Blitz Jamie wore his gas mask for fear of a gas attack. He had been resurrected by nanogenes, who took him to be a model example of a human and created a virus that would infect humans to make them look like he did. The last thing he wished for before his death was his mother.
He was later cured by Nancy and the nanogenes, which recognised her parental DNA and restored his body to what it had been before he had been "killed".
"The Doctor Dances"
When the nanogenes disperse from both Nancy and "The Empty Child", the Doctor runs over to him and expresses his desire to "give me a day like this". He reaches forward and laughs as he finds he can detach the gas mask from Jamie's face to reveal that he is alive and well. The Doctor picks him up and tells him that he will love the future in "twenty years" for the "pop music". Nancy asked what happened and the Doctor tells her that the DNA was registered and identified as having a similar match, joking that "mother knows best" and giving Jamie to his mother, who cries and hugs him tightly to her.
Jamie has his back to the falling bomb and is oblivious to the space ship flying above them and catching the bomb whilst it is hurtling towards them.
Later the Doctor comments to Rose in the Tardis that Nancy and Jamie would go to Doctor Constantine for "help."
