Lieutenant Scott was the leader of a squad of troops ordered to some caves beneath the surface of the Earth in 2526.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Geologist Kyle returned to Scott and his team and told them about the gunshots and the missing geologists. They immediately went to the caves and set up camp outside. Walters set up a life scanner and Scott, Professor Kyle and most of the troops went into the caves. There they rested when Professor Kyle tripped. They heard Walters speak to them through the intercom, saying the wounded party (Bane and Collis) had gone off the scanner — dead — and an alien had been spotted in the lower caves. Scott sent Sergeant Mitchell, Bailey and Carter to investigate. However, they were later killed after they found the remains of Bane and Collis.
Scott then met the Fifth Doctor and found a hidden trapdoor, whereupon two androids came out of nowhere and started to attack Scott's troopers. When Scott and the troops blew up the androids and the Doctor opened the hatch, they located a Cyber-bomb which was counting down to detonation, so the Doctor told Tegan Jovanka to take Scott and his troops into the TARDIS to wait.
When they came back after defusing the bomb, Scott requested that his troops accompany the Doctor, arriving aboard a massive space freighter where the Doctor and Adric went to look around. Scott later told the troops that they were going to look for the Doctor. When they saw and killed some Neomorph Cybermen, half his troopers died in the process. Scott then found Briggs, Berger and Adric and helped them escape in a pod, but Adric insisted on staying behind and was killed. (TV: Earthshock)
Scott was presumably returned, along with Briggs and Berger, to 26th century Earth in the TARDIS. (TV: Time Flight)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Scott's eventual fate is never revealed; he is last heard telling the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan via radio from the escape pod that he and the space freighter crew have evacuated the ship, but Adric is still aboard.
- Colin Baker, Nicholas Ball, Andrew Burt, Lewis Collins, Peter Firth, Del Henney, Gareth Hunt, Martin Jarvis, Tim Pigott-Smith, Patrick Ryecart, Martin Shaw, Patrick Stewart, David Warner, and Simon Williams were considered for the role before James Warwick was cast.
