M is for... Moon, Dr


A mysterious medical man who was called in to look after a girl named Cal, who lived alone with her father. His expertise lay in the field of psychiatry. Cal was a troubled, nervous child. His soothing words seemed to calm her, even though these invariably simply had him tell her to ignore her worries.
Cal was actually CAL - the uploaded mind of the daughter of Felman Lux, who founded the Library. This book repository covered an entire planet. On her death, her memories and personality were uploaded to the Library's mainframe, so that she could have a continued existence through its books. To maintain the Library complex, protection software was installed to oversee CAL, and this was established on the planet's moon.
'Dr Moon' was a personification of this function within Cal's artificial reality.
When Donna Noble was uploaded into the computer, it was Dr Moon who helped her adjust to the artificial reality - appearing to run a clinic where she first arrived, before frequent monitoring visits to her new home. 

Played by: Colin Salmon. Appearances: Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead (2008).
  • A regular during the Brosnan Bond era, Salmon is now appearing in EastEnders.
  • Genre appearances include Arrow, General Zod in the TV prequel series Krypton, and AVP: Alien v. Predator.
