Telephone Engineer (UNIT Contractor)

Civilian telephone engineer contracted by UNIT to maintain and repair telecommunications infrastructure at secure sites like UNIT headquarters. Operates from temporary field setups (e.g., tents) and uses handheld diagnostic/activation devices to service external junction boxes. Known for a blend of practiced technical efficiency and casual, evasive communication—often dismissing security personnel's questions with flippant remarks (e.g., 'Blimey, not again') while prioritizing job completion over transparency. Defensive when pressed about equipment details, though his working-class banter contrasts with his guarded professionalism. Interacts with UNIT personnel (e.g., Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Mike Yates) and the Doctor during field operations.
