Captain Lundvik was a veteran astronaut who was placed in command of a space shuttle mission to the Moon in 2049. Earth's satellite had greatly increased its gravitational pull on the planet, with disastrous consequences. Lundvik's task was to blow up the Moon with a number of thermonuclear devices. The mission became a suicide one as the shuttle - a museum piece - crash-landed and then fell into a ravine. The Doctor discovered that the cause of the Moon's changes was that it was really an ancient egg, and the gigantic creature within was about to be born. Despite this knowledge, Lundvik was determined to carry out her mission. Clara Oswald disagreed and together they decided to canvas opinion from the people on Earth, after the Doctor had withdrawn - claiming this was a choice that only human beings could make.
The creature was born, and laid an egg which became a new Moon, after the Doctor had used the TARDIS to take Lundvik back to Earth.
Played by: Hermione Norris. Appearances: Kill The Moon (2014).
- Norris' best known role to date is as MI5 operative Ros Myers in Spooks.
