Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the 1890s, he came to London from Paris on the persuasion of Luigi. He had previously received a present of a watch bearing the Prydonian Seal from the Doctor. Shortly before the start of the performance he met with George Litefoot. Inside an illusory world, Litefoot saw him hanging from a gibbet. He told Litefoot that he was being drugged and dreamt of the world and before long he was constantly there. He managed to stop the impostor by shutting the piano lid on him.

As recorded in Issue 276 of The Druimport Entwister, which bore many marks of the mysterious history-altering force known as the Unravel, the composer "Maurice Unravel" died on 28 December 1937, but not before spending a short time in 1987 due to the actions of an "overenthusiastic temporal tourist". He was one of the obituaries in the issue, none of whom seemed to have died at the same time — as befitting a newspaper catering to time travellers.

While fighting off the Cold in Foreman's Yard with the help of the children of Coal Hill School, the First Doctor realised the entity was weak to sound and ordered the children to use the derelict organ to "set up a roundelay effect, something like Ravel’s Bolero". Zack had never heard of it, prompting John to tersely inform him that "Maurice Ravel was a French composer" and that "the Bolero [was] his most famous work". The Doctor cut their bickering short, clarifying that "anything simple and repetitive [would] do". (PROSE: Time and Relative [+]Loading...["Time and Relative (novel)"])
"Ravel's Boléro" was one of the musical tracks recorded in the computer system of the Walker Expedition's base in the 43rd century. (TV: The Impossible Planet [+]Loading...["The Impossible Planet (TV story)"])
