Wilfred Mott had his life changed for the worse on 25 June 2007, when Donna Noble turned right instead of left; this small change in affairs produced Donna's World.
He and his family were forced to relocate to Leeds following the destruction of London. Wilf seemed to adapt most easily to life as a refugee, calling upon his "wartime spirit", though wartime events soon came back to haunt him.
Watching the night sky through his telescope, Wilf was first to inform Donna that the stars were going out, convincing her to go with Rose Tyler. who would help her negate the timeline.
Biography
Wilf watched a story on the news about the Royal Hope Hospital having been taken to the Moon. When the interviewee, Oliver Morgenstern, mentioned "talking rhinos", Wilf suggested that the rhinos could be aliens.
After Donna won a stay at Firbourne House, courtesy of a winning raffle ticket, the family holidayed there over Christmas, 2008. Wilf arrived at the hotel wearing reindeer antlers, and was chided by Sylvia for not looking "classy" enough. Staying outside the city, Wilf and his family were spared when, on Christmas morning, a replica of the Titanic crashed into Buckingham Palace, obliterating London.
The lingering radiation left by the impact forced their evacuation to Leeds], where they had to share a house with other families. Wilfred adjusted to this life, making do with "wartime spirit". He became friends with Rocco Colasanto and was first to join in with the other families singing sea shanties. He was mournful when all non-English residents were forcibly deported to "labour camps", noting this had happened before in his life.
Wilfred set up his telescope behind the house at Leeds; it was there that he and Donna first noticed the darkness spreading over the night sky, eating up the stars. It was this sight that finally convinced Donna to find Rose Tyler and go with her. (TV: Turn Left)
