We never did learn the name of the Hostess of the Crusader 50 tour bus, who sacrificed her life to save the Doctor and the rest of her passengers. She was responsible for the welfare of those who travelled on the tours across the inhospitable terrain of the planet Midnight, which was ravaged by deadly X-tonic radiation. As well as providing the refreshments, she also ensured that passengers were kept entertained with a son et lumiere show. The Doctor took exception to this audio-visual display and sabotaged it, which encouraged the passengers to talk and get to know each other. Following a detour due to a rockfall, the Crusader vehicle was attacked by an invisible entity which somehow managed to get inside. It took over the body of passenger Sky Sylvestry. The Hostess became caught up in the paranoia which the attack generated. The entity then appeared to have transferred into the Doctor, but the Hostess, having interacted more with everyone on the tour, recognised that this was not the case. It was still within Sky. She elected to open the airlock doors briefly whilst seizing hold of Sky - and both were sucked out of the vehicle to their deaths.
Played by: Rakie Ayola. Appearances: Midnight (2008).
