A friend of Wilf Mott who became a member of his pensioner group - the Silver Cloak. Their job was to look out for signs of the Doctor and report back to Wilf. The Silver Cloak increased their activities around Christmas 2010, after people started having disturbing nightmares which featured the ex-Prime Minister Harold Saxon. Minnie, who had once been locked in a Police Box after misbehaving in her youth, was with Wilf when the Doctor was tracked down to an area of the London docks. Minnie found the Doctor to be rather attractive, and even pinched his bottom whilst getting a photograph taken with him.
Played by: June Whitfield. Appearances: The End of Time Part 1 (2009).
- Whitfield, who passed away in 2018 at the age of 93, was long regarded as a bit of a national treasure. Her career in comedy spanned 7 decades, and she worked with many of the comedy greats, such as Tony Hancock and the Carry On team. Best known in the UK, she reached a wider audience through her appearances in the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. One non-comedic role she enjoyed was her portrayal as BBC radio's Miss Marple.
