Eddie Connolly was husband to Rita and father to Tommy, who lived with them and his mother-in-law in Florizel Street, Muswell Hill, North London. A veteran of the Second World War, Eddie's pride and patriotism bordered on extremism. He was scared of the changes occurring in 1950s Britain, realising they didn't fit his view of the world. This manifested itself as bullying towards his wife and his son.
When the Tenth Doctor visited his home and embarrassed him before his family in June 1953, he got worse and had his wife's faceless mother (who actually owned the house) removed by the police. His son figured out that he had been informing everyone just to protect his reputation and told him he was just like the fascists whom he had fought against in the war. When Rita discovered what he had done to her mother and to friends and neighbours, she threw him out of the house in front of their family. (TV: The Idiot's Lantern)
