Gideon Lyme was a journalist.
Biography
Early life
Gideon Lyme was born in Tobago and was given his name by his mother, who chose it from the Bible and whom he would later remark got most of her best ideas from the book. He had an aunt who had a London biscuit tin.
Lyme found the British Empire embarrassing and once saw the man who ran the island, who was wearing a three-piece suit in a heatwave, faint in the middle of a speech and require his guards to prop him up. The crowd politely applauded after an awkward pause. He worked as a journalist for the Tobago Times and attached clippings of his work to a job application which he sent to a newspaper in London, choosing it due to its liberal stance on equality and race relations. (AUDIO: Parasite)
Association with Torchwood
Lyme travelled from Tobago to London for a job at a newspaper. His would-be employer retracted his offer due to his race, but changed his mind after Mr Lyme produced a briefcase full of information on Torchwood. (AUDIO: Parasite)
Personality
Lyme was unafraid to address and confront others' racist attitudes. He was gay and, unlike Norton, was not comfortable with having sex behind a bush in a park. He liked tea and ham sandwiches, but did not like scrambled eggs. (AUDIO: Parasite)
