A baker's man was a delivery driver who was approaching Devil's End when he encountered an earth tremor caused by Azal reducing in size and stopped his van, staggering away from the vehicle.
Just as the tremor subsided, his van exploded. The baker's man attracted the attention of the Brigadier when he arrived in his staff car, warning him of the danger, and they realised a heat barrier was blocking the road, having sprung up in the same place as the van. The Brigadier and his driver left to try to find another way into the village, leaving the baker's man behind at the scene. (TV: The Dæmons)
