N is for... Nodes


Automated information-providing devices in the planet-spanning Library. In form they resembled a stylised human figure in white marble, with a main body topped by an ovoid head. Upon this was placed a real human face, donated by its owner following their death, to provide an interface with its user.
This was supposed to humanise them, but Donna Noble found the whole concept disturbing.
Later, when her teleport was intercepted and she was downloaded into the Library's core, her own features adorned a Node, much to the Doctor's horror.


Played by: Sarah Niles, Joshua Dallas, Catherine Tate. Appearances: Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead (2008).
  • Dallas featured in Thor, and was a cast regular on fantasy series Once Upon A Time.
  • Niles will soon be seen in the movie adaptation of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, and was twice Emmy nominated for her role in Ted Lasso.
