'''Smutty Thomas''' was a friend of [[Charles Cranleigh]] who worked at [[Guy's Hospital]] in at least the early [[20th century]].

The [[Fifth Doctor]], who happened to land on the [[Cranleigh Halt]] [[train]] station platform at about the time the substitute was due to arrive, was mistaken for Smutty's substitute.
