A newscaster from Earth once introduced a report about Congressman Brook and his populist anti-Draconian sentiments. (DWN: Doctor Who and the Space War)

Though the character was cast for part six of Frontier in Space, director Paul Bernard made a last-minute decision to use only the footage involving Congressman Brook. Thus the part gets a mention in the novelisation, a line in the credit roll, but no actual appearance in televised Doctor Who. (BBC DVD: Frontier in Space) The novelisation makes no distinction, incidentally, between this newscaster and the one used in part one. It is possible, therefore, to believe that this character doesn't exist at all in any form of Doctor Who.
