Recalling her unexpected reunion with the Sixth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka thought that if the reunion was a comedy, then Gareth Jenkins's comic belittling of the Doctor would've been accompanied by comedy stings of incidental music. (PROSE: Fixing a Hole)

Information from invalid sources

Since the ending of A Fix with Sontarans breaks the fourth wall so thoroughly, the Wiki does not consider it a valid source, and consequently does not recognise its events (and the in-universe Gareth Jenkins) to be part of the Doctor Who universe as we define it.

Within the narrative segment of A Fix with Sontarans, Jenkins gets transported from Earth to the Doctor's TARDIS by accident, and is observed by the Doctor to wear a boy-sized version of the Time Lord's own outfit; and knows how to operate the TARDIS' controls from having watched the Doctor do so on television. This includes knowledge of switches which release a gas lethal to Sontarans, interestingly a discrepancy between the in-universe Doctor Who series and the real programme, as this feature of the TARDIS control console was never seen in the TV series proper.

Further detail is given about the in-universe Jenkins when Group Marshal Nathan explains that in the year 2001, when Sontarans attempt to invade Earth, a man called Gareth Jenkins will lead the Earth defence force which defeats the invasion fleet. The Doctor points out that this future, heroic Jenkins could conceivably be a namesake, though the Sontarans decide they can't take the risk and try to kill Gareth anyway, hence his pressing the aforementioned death-switch on the console.
