Biography

Hailed as the most intelligent inhabitant of the planet Quirk, Cedric took part in the contest show The Ultimate Challenge, with the Seventh Doctor as host, and Ace (a human) and K9 (a robot) as opponents. Throughout the game, Cedric proved reasonably clever, but on several occasions he made presumptions about the planet Earth (which he had never visited) which turned out to be flatly wrong. The first and most striking was his belief that the planet's shape was that of a cylinder rather than a sphere. (TV: Search Out Space)

The library on Valcea stored archival footage of a Black man in a "silver, figure-hugging spacesuit" who accompanied a mustachioed incarnation of the Doctor and Iris Wildthyme in a fight with giant owls. Marn showed this footage to the Eighth Doctor, who didn't remember the events. (PROSE: The Blue Angel)
