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."
Mrs. Harcourt (Doctor Who Series One)
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series One Episode Ten: "The Doctor Dances"
Played By: Vilma Hollingbery
Living during the 1941 London Blitz, Mrs. Harcourt was an elderly woman who had at some point lost her leg. She was transferred to the Albion Hospital under the care of Doctor Constantine, where she had come into contact with an infected individual and became one of the gas mask zombies. The transformation also managed to grow her leg back due to the nanogenes that were part of the virus.
She was cured at the abandoned rail way line along with the other zombies, by the Doctor and nanogenes that understood what humans were supposed to look like (unlike the ones that were infecting people).
"The Doctor Dances"
After the Doctor compliments Doctor Constantine for his dedication to his patience and explains that "whatever was wrong with them in the past, you will probably gonna find they are cured", Mrs. Harcourt hobbles over to him and addresses him warmly. Constantine comments that she is looking much better. Mrs. Harcourt expresses her surprise to find that her "leg's grown back" since she had only gone to the hospital with "one leg". He asks her if she had "possibly miscounted" due to all the confusion of the war.
She watches the Doctor as he prepares the Chula Ambulance for self destruction and clears the area with all the other cured victims.

Mr and Mrs Pakoo (Doctor Who Series One)
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series One Episode Two: "The End of the World"
Played By: ??
A married couple of bird-like aliens born years before 5,000,000,000 (the date of planet Earth's destruction), Mr. and Mrs. Pakoo had built up a vast wealth and bought tickets to observe "Earth Death" aboard Platform One.
"The End of the World"
Mr. and Mrs. Pakoo were welcomed into the "Maximum Hospitality Zone" by the Steward along with the other guests. They stand and listen to Cassandra's speech and the presentation of her gifts: a jute box and an Ostrich egg.
They both were talking to each other by the door when Cassandra calls all the guests to "come gather" due to their being only "10 minutes till Earth Death."
They witness the Doctor's revelation that Cassandra had used robotic spiders and androids in the guise of the Adherence of the Repeated Meme to sabotage Platform One and the plan to use the destruction of Earth to kill them all and gain the shares of their "rival companies."
They watch in horror as the sun's heat cracks the glass of the Hospitality Sweet, but survive the attempt on their life. They mourn with the remaining survivors for all those who had died, before leaving Platform One after the "death" of Cassandra.

Death of Cassandra Script (Doctor Who Series Two)
(This is exactly taken from Doctor Who Series Two Episode Two: "New Earth", so contains spoilers from the episode if you haven't seen it- Spoiler Warning)
"New Earth: Final Scene"
The T.A.R.D.I.S doors creak open. The Doctor walks out of time machine into a highly decorated side chamber, just near the main body of the party. It is the party from the recording (see the Psychograph Scene... coming soon)- held in the honor of the Ambassador of Thrace.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: For Bodeley's sake, don't do that. He'll be livid.
The Doctor passes under the half tied curtain into the main room, followed by Chip (Cassandra's soul sharing his body) and Rose. Chip is wearing a black shall over old hospital clothes and covering up his many of his tattoos.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: Oh no, don't! Stop it! (She giggles)
As Chip moves forward his eyes brighten and a smile begins to slowly appear on his face.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: That's simply not true. Tiny! Egypt was so dismal.
Cassandra is surrounded by a fairly large crowd- mostly men- who are all laughing at what she is saying.
Chip looks back to the Doctor.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: And the mosquitoes, I can't tell you....
Chip: Thank you.
The Doctor: Just go and don't look back.
Rose: (In Chip's ear) Good luck.
Chip smiles at her and gives her a polite nod, slowly making his was across the quieter side of room (most are gathered near the end). B/G- Two guests mingle with each other. A waiter passes with a loaded tray of champagne. The wall on his right has a water feature that resembles a Waterfall. He smiles as he is only a few paces away from his younger self, who is wrapping up her conversation.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: And if you actually see them, you're shocked.
Cassandra (Younger): (Wags her finger at the closest guy) But don't quote me on that.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: Oh you naughty people!
Cassandra (Younger): A Bientot!
She grandly begins to walk away, flourishing her hand.
Chip: Excuse me, the Lady Cassandra?
Cassandra (Younger): I'm sorry, I don't need anything right now, I'm fine, thank you.
Chip: (As Cassandra slowly turns) No, I just wanted to say. You look beautiful.
Cassandra (Younger): (He smiles. Pause, thinking how to react) Well, that's very kind, you strange little thing. (Looks him up and down) Thank you very much.
Chip: (Slightly taken aback, but ignores "her" own judgement) I mean it. (Steps closer to her) You look... (almost whisper) so beautiful.
Her face changes, looking as though she was terribly moved by this (as though it was a long time since anyone had truly complimented her).
Cassandra (Younger): (Voice is softer) Thank you.
Chip exhales. His eyes close. He falls forwards as though he has lost all ability to stand.
Cassandra (Younger): Oh, my Lord! (She goes down to her knees, catching him before he hits the floor) Are you alright? What is it, what's wrong? (To a guest that moves around her with a drink still in hand) Someone get some help. Call a medic or something (Other guests disperse) quickly!
Female Guest- O.S: Who is he?
Cassandra (Younger): (Pulls back his hood slightly to take his pulse, revealing a few of the tattoos) I don't know, he just came up to me. Don't even know his name. He just collapsed. I think he's dying. (More people are turning their backs and walking away) Someone do something. I've got you, sweetheart (begins to cradle him, rocking him gently on her knee). It's all right.
The Doctor and Rose watch on silently.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: There you are. There you are. I've got you.
Cassandra (Younger): (Almost completely alone in the middle of the room, keeping Chip company. Everyone else has ever turned their back or gone) It'll be alright. There, there. You poor little thing.
The Doctor nudges Rose and they slowly walk away, Rose looks back before disappearing behind the curtain. The Doctor then looks back, his glance long.
