Arnold Jellicoe was the assistant to Miss Hilda Winters, head of the Think Tank organisation. Like her, he was also a member of the fascistic Scientific Reform Society, which sought to impose its views on the whole of society. To this end, the SRS intended to blackmail the world after gaining access to every country's nuclear missile launch codes. They employed Professor Kettlewell's K1 Robot to achieve this.
It was Jellicoe who carried out the modifications to the robot to make it obey Miss Winters, and go against its prime directive.
Jellicoe was captured by UNIT when the SRS plan was foiled.
Played by: Alec Linstead. Appearances: Robot (1975).
- Linstead had previously appeared in the series as a member of UNIT. He was Sergeant Osgood in The Daemons. He would return to the series in 1984 playing Arthur Stengos in Revelation of the Daleks.
- Director Christopher Barry had also considered Colin Baker for the role of Jellicoe.
