F is for... Finch, Clive


A conspiracy theorist who ran a blog about the Doctor. Wanting to know more about the mysterious man who had saved her from animated shop display mannequins, but who had also blown up her workplace, Rose Tyler went on-line and came upon Clive's blog. She arranged to visit him at his home, where he had a study set up in his shed. He was able to show her how the Doctor had been seen at different points in history, such as the eve of the Titanic's launch, and at the assassination of President Kennedy. Some thought that the title of Doctor was being passed down from father to son, but Clive's own theory was that it was the same man, and he was an alien. He warned her that danger and death followed the Doctor wherever he went.
That evening, as Clive was walking through a shopping centre with his wife and son, they found themselves caught up in the middle of the latest Nestene invasion attempt. Clive was shot dead by an Auton, realising too late that his fears about the Doctor had been true.

Played by: Mark Benton. Appearances: Rose (2005).
