First Appearance: Doctor Who Series One Episode Four: "Aliens of London"
Played By: Penelope Wilton
Formally a back bench British Politician for the Constituency of Flydale North, Harriet Jones later became Prime Minister after she helped the Doctor and Rose uncover and stop a Slitheen plot within Downing Street.
Her term in office was ended by the Doctor's strategic whispering of the six words- "don't you think she looks tired"- after she had ordered the Torchwood Institute to shoot down the Sycorax spaceship as it was leaving on Christmas Day.
Since then she continued with her goal in saving the world from the shadows, developing technology such as the Subwave Network which was created by the Mr. Copper Foundation.
"The Stolen Earth"
After deciding that the time was right and the Earth looked like it had no hope left, Harriet Jones contacted Torchwood, Sarah Jane Smith (via Mr. Smith), Rose Tyler- although unable to hear her without webcam at the Noble Household- and Martha Jones at her mother's house.
She calls out to those she contacted, asking if anyone could hear her as the signal began transmitting. She continues trying to reach out calling this message "the utmost importance", which Captain Jack ignores as just being someone else from the "world crying out". However she berates him and orders him to "stand to attention." Getting his attention, he asks who was speaking and the introduces herself with the fact that she was "former Prime Minister" and flashes her passport- although he tells her he "knows who you are."
Rose tries to speak to Harriet, but is unable to and watches as Sarah Jane replies. Harriet uses the sub-wave to allow those connected so far to contact each other. She comments that the "fourth contact seems to be having trouble getting through" boosting the signal so that Martha joins the conversation (again introducing herself) and said it seemed an appropriate time, introducing Sarah Jane to the Torchwood team. She has to tell Jack to stop flirting as he comments that Sarah Jane is "looking good." She then goes onto introduce Martha Jones to Sarah Jane, before going on to explain that due to the "sentient software" being programmed to seek out anyone who had worked with the Doctor Subwave network she was able to locate them all. She goes on reassure Martha that the Subwave was completely hidden from the Dalek's radar and that she had developed it with the aid of the Copper Foundation.
Harriet warns Martha not to use the Osterhagen Key when Jack asks about it and orders them to forget about it, claiming that "all we need is the Doctor." Sarah Jane questions this and asks whether it was the Doctor who had "deposed her". Harriet replies sadly that "he did" and goes on to say that although doubting herself about the desission she had made on Christmas at first. However she justifies her reasoning as the Doctor couldn't be there to save the world every time there was an invasion. When Martha tells her that she failed to get through to the Doctor on her own, Harriet concludes this is why they all need to work together and act as "the Doctor's secret army."
During the plan to use the rift to call the Doctor's number- via Mr. Smith's hacking of the phone network- Ianto Jones comments that the transmitting signal would become open and visable to the Dalek fleet. Harriet admits that she was aware of this fact and that she also knew the Dalek's would track her down and kill her. She states that "my life doesn't matter. Not if it saves the Earth."
She thanks Jack for his solute, but tells them that "is enough with words" and that they they start as "there are people dying on the streets."
Wilfred Mott commends her and voices that he "voted for her" to be Prime Minister, although Sylivia Noble tells him that he never did.
She opens the Subwave to "maximum" allowing the signal to mask the transmission to contact the Doctor, which attracts the attention of a Dalek Saucer. The Daleks use their exterminators to smash the window, whilst she transfers the Subwave network to the Torchwood facility in Cardiff, putting Jack in charge and requesting that he tell the Doctor that "he chose his companions well." She states that it "had been an honor", before moving into the center of the room as three Dalek's enter her house via the blown out window. She introduces herself to them and retorts that although they knew who she was, they "knew nothing of any human. And that will be your downfall." She exhales and stands taller as the Dalek sentences her to death, dying along with her screen on the collected subwave monitor.
"Journey's End"
During Davros' goading of the Doctor- while he was being held in the vault- he boasts that he had "already seen them (The Doctor's allies) sacrificed today for their beloved Doctor" and addresses Harriet Jones as "the Earth Woman who fell opening the Subwave Network." The Doctor had been unaware of her death or the fact that she had been involved in bringing him to Earth until Rose tells him and he remembers her along with all the others he had lost over his travels.
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Two Episode Four "School Reunion"
Played By: John Leeson
The latest model of the K-9 unit built after the previous one sacrificed itself to blow up the Krillitanes and Deffry Vale High School by the Doctor, he was a present for Sarah Jane Smith and was left in her care after he left Earth with Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith in the Tardis.
Around a year and a half before Sarah Jane adopted Luke Smith and began saving the world his aid and the aid of his friends- Maria, Clyde and (later) Rani- K-9 was forced to leave Earth and watch over an artificially created black hole (made in deep space by members of human race in Switzerland), where he has very little contact to his "mistress" or "master." Although he is still capable of visiting Earth in an emergency.
"Journey's End"
When the Doctor asks Mr. Smith to use the power from the Rift in Cardiff- sent by the Torchwood team via their Rift Manipulator- Mr. Smith informs him that he is unable to do so without having "remote access to Tardis basecode numerals." The Doctor remarks that getting the number to Mr. Smith will be a long process, however Sarah Jane tells him to let her do it.
From the Tardis, Sarah Jane orders K-9 back to Earth, who follows his orders with his usual phrase "affirmative mistress." Luke watches as the Doctor calls him a "good dog" and orders him to transfer the basecode. Following his instructions, K-9 remarks that "the process is simple", which makes many of the "Children of Time" amused.
K-9 stays with Luke during the planet's tow back into its rightful place in the Universe, who wraps his arms around him and cheers excitedly.
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Four Episode 13: "The Stolen Earth"
Played By: Amy Beth Hayes
A young albino servant working within the Shadow Proclamation, she had some form of psychic powers and the ability to see both into the future and past.
"The Stolen Earth"
The servant snaps Donna back into the present as she zones out while waiting for the Doctor during their time at the Shadow Proclamation, listening to the sound of a heartbeat inside her head (the sound of the meta-crisis Doctor's heart), offering her a bowl of water. She claims that she "needs sustenance" and that she should drink the water as it "purifies." Donna thanks her but is suddenly taken aback by the servant commenting about how she had "something on your back" (referring to the time beetle) and asks how she could know that. She ignores the question and tells her that she is "something new". Donna replies that she is nothing more than a "temp. Shorthand, filing, 100 words per minute" and that it was "fat lot of good that is now. I'm no use to anyone." The servant tells her that she is "so sorry for her loss", which Donna thinks is referring to the fact that the whole of Earth has been taken (by Davros and his new Dalek army grown from the very flesh of it's original creator). However the servant whispers that she meant "the loss that has yet to come" and hurries past her up the stairs (where Donna had been sitting) with the final comment of "God save you."
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Four Episode Eight: "The Unicorn and the Wasp"
Played By: Adam Rayner
The son of Lady Clemency Eddison and Colonel Hugh Curbishley, Roger was secretly in a relationship with one of the Household footmen, Davenport.
He was murdered by his Vespiform half-brother on the 8th of December, who stabbed him in the back with a knife.
"The Unicorn and the Wasp"
Roger wheeled his father through the gardens of his mother's garden party to join her in her conversation with the Doctor and Donna, where Lady Eddison introduces them properly. He comments that Donna was "a super lady," who sees him as flirting and replies by saying that she "liked the colour of his jib." He politely greets the Doctor before accepting "his usual" drink from Davenport, with a flirtatious comment of it being to his liking. Donna quietly asks the Doctor why he is a Cubishley when is mother is an Eddison, which he reveals that due to the Eddison title descending from her Roger would become a Lord.
After hearing how the Reverend Arnold Golightly had apprehended two youths breaking into the church, Roger comments that "some of these young boys deserve a decent thrashing." He has to remind Davenport with a "subtle" clearance of his throat they are being watched when the latter agrees with his point and shows slightly more obvious signs of their relationship. Although nobody picks up (or pretends not to), both the Doctor and Donna picked up the fact that the two were lovers
. Donna whispers that it was "typical. All the decent men on the other bus."
Roger is among the guests who welcome Agatha Christie to the party and asks her why she chose a Belgian detective for her novels, whom replies jokingly that "Belgians make such lovely buns." He isn't sure how to take the comment at first but he laughs and comments about how Professor Peach would love to meet her and wonders where he could have gotten to.
After hearing of the Professor's murder, Roger pushed his father to the library and is visibly shocked by the dead body on the floor. He follows the Doctor's instructions and goes to sit in the sitting room to wait for his investigative interview.
During his interview, Roger lies about what he had been doing at quater past four that afternoon (the time of death for the Professor), telling the Doctor that he had been doing a "constitutional in the fields behind the house" and had just walked. When questioned if he was alone, he answers in a very flustered manner that he had been alone and repeats it several time, reiterating the point with the statement of "I wandered lonely as the proverbial cloud." In reality he had met with Davenport and the two walked together holding hands in the woods.
After chasing the Vespiform through the house, the Doctor demands that it shows itself when he reaches a long corridor with all the guest rooms. Among the confused people who leave their rooms were Roger and Davenport, who emerged from the same room with Davenport looking a lot untidier than he had been earlier that day.
Returning to the sitting room, he comforts his mother who is grieving over the loss of her "most faithful companion" and one of the most senior members in the household staff. When the Doctor asks if Chandrakala's final words meant anything to Lady Eddison- "the poor little child"- Hugh bluntly tells him that their were no children in "this house for years. Highly unlikely that there will be any" looking directly and disapprovingly at Roger as he said this (suggesting that he knew of his son's relationship and orientation). When Agatha tells them that she "had nothing" on what was going on, the gathered group all look to the Doctor for answers about what was happening.
Roger sat next to Donna at the dinner later that evening, looking slightly unnerved whilst eating his soup and hearing that the Doctor had been poisoned. His nervousness turns to cinfusion where the Doctor explains that the soup had been spiked with pepper and reveals that it was to use the piperine ("traditionally used as an insecticide") to reveal the Vespiform.
Roger looks terrified when the lightning knocks out the power in the room and the wind snuffs out the candels. In the confusion the Vesperform kills him with a knife in the back and he is left with his face lying in his soup.
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Four Episode Four: "Planet of the Ood"
Played By: Ayesha Dharker
Head of marketing and Intergalactic Relations for Ood Operations, Solana Mercurio is in charge of pitching to clients interested in purchasing the Ood as well as tours of the facility.
She was killed by the Ood in the year 4126 after the outbreak of red-eye.
"Planet of the Ood"
Contacting Mr. Bartle (managing Director) of the company on his request, Solana is given instructions to "pitch like never before" to make up for the fact that the price of Ood had been reduced to fifty credits.
Solana and the new head of the Ood Management-Dr. Ryder- personally met with Chief Executive Klineman Halpen after the latter arrived to deal with the latest death in the companies personnel. Ryder states that Solana has the information of deaths that had recently happened in the company after Halpen disregards Ryder's attempted small talk and introduction and demands to know what had been happening in his absence. Halpen comments that being in "P.R" she was exactly what he needed and tells her to not have of the information released to anyone outside the Ood Operations compound. She looks slightly offended by his belittling of her job title and barging past with the persistence to find out "how many were dead?"
Following him into the office, she explains that "in the last financial quarter, we've had three deaths in the complex." Each of the deaths had apparently been from "industrial accidents" of "heart attacks," until footage of Bartle's death had been recovered showing the cause of death to match those of the others.
After hearing Halpen and Ryder's suspicions of the Ood catching red-eye, Solana questions what the problem was and listens to Ryder's description of the "infection." When Halpen orders Ood Sigma to pour him a drink, Solana reminds him of his own rules about having "no alcohol allowed on base." He remarks coldly that it was "hair tonic if you must know" and that it was being used to combat his hair loss from five years ago as resulted in "stress."
Solana greets the potential buyers and representatives of various organisations to the Ood Sphere, making a joke about the weather. As the Ood flanking her hands out information packs, she explains that the packs contained "3-D tickets, a map of the complex and vouchers" and that they had probably all "spoken on the Vid-Phone." Just as she tells them to all follow her, the Doctor and Donna arrive and uses the Psychic Paper to identify them as representatives of "The Noble Corporation, P.L.C Limited, Intergalactic." She apologises and wonders whether their names had "fallen from my list. It won't happen again." She asks them to follow- mistaking them both for a couple and is slightly bemused by the reaction that this had caused from the two denying it, handing them the packs personally. She calls to the others to come with her as it is warmer inside the "executive sweets." She quickly makes up the excuse that the alarm that had just been set of by Commander Kess to signal an escaped rabid Ood as being "a siren for the end of work shift."
During her pitch, Solana enthusiastically pitches the Ood as being "happy to serve" and boasts that; they live in "facilities of the highest standard," the treatment of Ood as "trusted friends," keeping the Ood "safe and educated" and that they "make them better," proposing that "the Ood are a reflection of us" and stating that "if your Ood is happy, then you'll be happy too."
Moving on to new Ood Operations innovations, Solana showcases the "variety package" for the Ood translation ball with the three additional voices; standard, "something for the gentleman" and the "Homer Simpson"- testing each out to the amusement of the representatives and adding in the fact that this package was on sale for five additional credits. She invites them to have more food and drink.
Just as an Ood begins revealing the existence of "the circle" to the Doctor and Donna (who only had heard about it once when Delta-Fifty died), Solana orders the Ood to return to "hospitality stations."
After another alarm was set of by Kess, Solana reassures the reps that it was "nothing to worry about" and it was "just a fire drill," claiming that the system was tested at that time daily. She excuses herself and hurries to Ood Cargo, where she berates Kess for trying to take down the Doctor with a crane as Halpen wanted both the Doctor and Donna alive.
Solana witnesses a fight between the Ood Operations security forces, fleeing with the Doctor and Donna. They stop when they are far away from the cargo, where Donna states her shock that people on Earth don't know what was happening on the Ood Sphere, However she tells Donna not "to be stupid" and that they do know, yet nobody asks questions which she coints as being the "same thing." The Doctor questions her to know how the Ood are processed to become the "products," but she states that she had no knowledge of what Dr. Ryder did as "it was his territory." Solana begrudgingly reveals Ryder's lab to being "beyond the red section" of the map. The Doctor asks her to come with her and tells her that she can help him, doubting that she really approves of how the company operates. Considering his offer for a moment she calls out to the guards, giving away their location. She communicates with Halpen with her wrist device and informs him of the Doctor heading to the Ood Conversion center.
Joining Halpen and Ryder at the locked Conversion door, she is ordered to return to the reps and stop them from discovering the mass extermination of Ood, whilst also seperating them from any Ood in the sweet for fear of a red eye outbreak. He yells at her to "hurry up" and she complies to his demand.
Solana tries to persuade the reps to move into the education room, but is questioned by a drunk rep who claims that they are in "a free bar." Choosing a different tact, she asks the Ood to return to their quarters as it is "feeding time." The Ood begin to submit to the red-eye and shrink away in pain, which the rep thinks is funny and jokes that she has "upset them", drunkenly telling her to "leave them alone." She tries again, but is horrified to see that it is too late and the Ood have succumb to the "infection." She tries in vain to get the guests to retreat via the fire escape, however the Ood begin killing the reps and she is forced to leave
The guards rush over to her and report that all the Ood have "gone insane" and are advancing from the sleeping quarters. She orders them to kill them and runs behind several barrels, watching the soldiers progress in their new task. However just as she turns around she is electrocuted by an Ood, who has appeared from the door beside her.

Played By: Daniel King
A footman in the country house of Eddison/ Curbishley family, Davenport had been in the service of the family for an unknown period of time, where he fell in love and began a secret relationship with Roger Curbishley (Lady Clemency Eddison and Colonel Hugh Curbishley's son).
"The Unicorn and the Wasp"
Davenport was posted on the drinks duty for the Eddison garden party during the December of 1926.
During Lady Eddison's explanation of "The Unicorn" and "his" latest theft of a pearl necklace belonging to the Lady Babington, Davenport gave the Doctor a drink (which he had asked Davenport for just before Lady Eddison's introduction) and began to circle the garden in preparation for the other guests.
Davenport made Roger his "usual" drink, which the latter flirtatiously comments on the fact that it was just to his liking. Making another of the beverages for his "employer", he express his agreement to Roger's point of view that misbehaving youths- like the ones who had broken into the Reverend Arnold Golightly's parish church- deserved a "decent thrashing." Roger has to remind him with a "subtle" clearing of his throat to get back to his work, as he had giving obvious signs of their relationship that both the Doctor and Donna had picked up.
Later that day- at quarter past four- Davenport was sitting under a tree when Roger came to find him. The two hold hands and take a walk together through the ground. Yet this is all covered up by Roger to conceal their relationship.
Davenport questions who would kill Professor Peach as he is wiping up in the kitchens- the news of the murder being talked about by the staff- commenting that he always was "asking questions about that book of his." Miss Chandrakala tells him that it was a "dead man's folly" and that it was not important.
After chasing the Vespiform down a corridor, the Doctor demands that it reveals itself. Davenport is among the confused people to emerge from the rooms- poking his head out of the same room that Roger was in and looking rather more disheveled than he had been earlier that day.
Davenport wheeled Colonel Curbishley's wheelchair into the library, where the Doctor, Donna and Agatha Christie (the guest of honor at the garden party) were planning their next move. He tells Lady Eddison that Chandrakala had been on making her way over to see her when she had been killed (by a gargoyle). With that he goes to stand by Greeves, but keeps looking at Roger as Hugh declares that that their had been no children living in the house for years and would not be much chance of it either- in reference to Chandrakala's last words (alluding to being aware of his son's sexual orientation and his romance with Davenport).
Davenport was helping with dinner when the Doctor rushes into the kitchen demanding ginger beer to counter the effect of "sparkling cyanide" that had been used to spike his drink. He is shocked to be grabbed and even more shocked to see the Doctor trying to reverse the effect with various high protein foods. He looks perplexed when the Doctor expels the poison from his body (in gas form).
During dinner he is circulating the table on hand to serve when needed. Davenport is startled by the sudden lightning flash that knocks out the lights and blows out the candles. Having hidden from the Vespiform till the lights return, he is distraught at the sight of Roger's body (killed by the Vespiform with a knife in the back and his head down in a bowl of suit).
Donna feels sorry for the fact that Davenport is unable to "mourn" for his dead lover due to the attitude of the time.

After calling Halpen an "idiot" for "bleeding us dry" with the decision to lower the price of Ood to 50 credits, Bartle orders Delta-Fifty to bring him the previous months military files with the plan to sell Ood to the army as they "always need new grunts." He returns with the domestic file, which is promptly given back to him with another request for him to get the right file. However Delta- Fifty throws down the file and tells Bartle that the "file is irrelevant." When Bartle retorts the Ood uses his translator ball to electrocute him.
During Halpen's viewing of the security footage he questions Dr. Ryder on the fate of the Ood. Ryder replies that Delta-Fifty had been shot during his escape and that the wound would have probably killed him by the time that had elapsed between the incident and the arrival of Halpen.
He finally falls into the snow, where his song is heard by the Doctor. The latter and Donna Noble find him lying close to death. After telling Donna to give him a hand and not call the Ood an "it" the Doctor tries to find his heart (although not sure whether the Ood has one) and asks Donna to keep him company and talk to him. He tells Donna his name on her request, who uses the translator orb to speak into (not knowing there was no need to do so) and tries to comfort him with the fact the Doctor can help him. He tries to tell them about "The Circle" and that "the circle must be broken." Just as the Doctor questions what the "circle" is, the red eye takes him again and he bolts upright before dying.
