Tom Beresford

practical helpful observant community-minded grounded in lived experience

Tom Beresford is a local farmer living near the Newton Institute who becomes unexpectedly entangled in temporal events. A practical man rooted in his land, he responds to the crisis with immediate utility—providing his tractor and ropes to help right the overturned TARDIS, then lending his voice to coordinate the soldiers’ efforts. His wartime memory of a doodlebug from 1944 surfaces during a later explosion, marking him as a witness to violence echoing across decades. Though not formally educated, his presence and actions become crucial in managing physical chaos.
