Mark was a member of a group known simply as The People. In his earlier life he had been athlete John Crichton, who had won gold in the long jump at the Olympic Games.
Sarah Jane Smith recalled him when she found herself trapped on a spaceship which was on route to another planet. Mark explained that this was part of a larger fleet, and they were abandoning the polluted Earth for a new home.
Sarah knew that this could not be true. She had been injured and the wound was still fresh - despite Mark and the others claiming she had been in suspended animation for months. It transpired that they were in a mock-up spacecraft, built beneath the streets of London. The men in charge intended to roll back time on Earth to a pre-industrial era - and this would be the new world they would inherit.
Sarah was able to convince Mark of the truth, and he in turn convinced some of the others, including one of their leaders, Adam. They left the mock-up and challenged those who had tricked them.
Played by: Terence Wilton. Appearances: Invasion of the Dinosaurs (1974).
- Sarah claims Mark's world record jump was 2.6362 metres. Even today, the long jump is not measured to that many decimal places - and why would she remember such a trivial fact?
