L is for... Lee (1)


Lee McAvoy was a young man who had been visiting the Library planet when it fell under quarantine. This was due to an attack by the microscopic flesh-eating Vashta Nerada. Those unable to get off the planet were teleported into the central processing unit of the Library's mainframe computer, CAL. Here they lived an artificial life in an AI environment, looked after by the computer's maintenance system, which appeared in personalised form as 'Dr Moon'. The Doctor's companion Donna Noble was accidentally transported into this AI realm and came under the care of Dr Moon. He introduced her to Lee, who was socially awkward and spoke with a pronounced stammer. The pair fell in love and married, and became parents to a boy and a girl. Lee's stammer came under control as he settled down.
The Doctor arranged a truce with the Vashta Nerada to allow the trapped people to be reconstituted and leave the planet. Donna hoped to meet the real Lee. He in turn spotted her, recalling their time together within CAL, but his stammer prevented him from calling out to her. He teleported away before he had a chance to be reunited.

Played by: Jason Pitt. Appearances: Forest of the Dead (2008).
