Private Jenkins was a member of UNIT at the time of the Sontaran attempt to turn the Earth into a planet where they could breed vast armies of clones. He was assigned by Colonel Mace to drive the Doctor and watch over him. The Sontarans attempted to kill both when they took control over the vehicle they were using and drive it into a river. Many cars, buses and lorries had the ATMOS system built into them - supposedly for cutting down pollution, but really a means of creating the toxic gases the Sontarans needed to adapt Earth's atmosphere.
Jenkins was killed during a battle with a Sontaran advance party at the ATMOS factory.
Played by: Christian Cooke. Appearances: The Sontaran Stratagem / The Poison Sky (2008).
- Fandom likes to think that Jenkins is related to another UNIT soldier of that name - the one whom the Brigadier ordered to shoot Bok in The Daemons with "Five rounds rapid...".
- Cooke starred in an ITV series which was designed as a deliberate rival to Doctor Who, but which failed to lure viewers away. This was 2009's Demons.
