== Biography ==
== Biography ==
Bridget was immensely devoted to her job. Bridget and Frobisher had worked together for twenty years (they had known each other for thirty years but ten years passed until they could work together). ([[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five]]'')
=== Early life ===
 
Around [[1979]], Bridget was attached to the [[Civil Service]] for six months, during which she met [[John Frobisher]]. Although [[Swales]] did not think that he would be successful, Bridget disagreed and kept an eye on him. Ten years later, Frobisher asked for Bridget as his [[personal assistant]], which surprised her as she did not think that he knew her name. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Children of Earth: Day Five (TV story)}})
She gave [[Lois Habiba]] her username and password so Lois could assist with the mounting work in the office, but Lois used it to find out who Captain [[Jack Harkness]] was. After Frobisher told Bridget about [[the 456]], he gave her a file with a blank piece of paper in it - indicating she was to kill the people listed in it. Spears drew up orders for four people to be killed. One of them was Jack. ([[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day One]]'')
 
Bridget accompanied Frobisher to negotiations with the 456. She took part in assisting Frobisher in control of the 456 and attended regular meetings of [[COBRA]] on the subject. ([[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Three]]'', ''[[Children of Earth: Day Four]]'')


When Frobisher was told that his children would be taken and given to the 456 as part of the [[Prime Minister]]'s plan to make it look like the Government were the victims of the crisis, she retrieved requisition 31 for him on his orders, 31 being a pistol, which Frobisher used to kill himself and his family.
=== The 456 incident ===
Bridget was still working for Frobisher in [[September]] [[2009]], when [[Lois Habiba]] was assigned to help her whilst the [[computer]] system was updated. She gave Lois her login details, which she used to look into the [[Torchwood Institute]], and sent off the [[Blank Page]] per Frobisher's orders, something that she seemed unhappy with doing. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Children of Earth: Day One (TV story)}}) Bridget witnessed the construction of the tank for the arrival of [[the 456]] and asked if they could determine what sort of creature could survive in the [[poison]]ous [[atmosphere]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Children of Earth: Day Two (TV story)}}) When negotiations began, she accompanied Frobisher and attended the [[COBRA]] meetings. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Children of Earth: Day Three (TV story)}})


After giving him the package she went to see Lois Habiba, who had been locked away l for treason and espionage. She had a long conversation with Lois, to convince Lois to remember Frobisher as a good man (while he proceeded to kill himself and his family). However, Lois also explained what she had done and how to operate the Torchwood contact lenses. Spears took the contact lenses on her way to COBRA, intent on continuing Lois's work out of disgust for Green's treatment of Frobisher.
In a COBRA meeting, Bridget attempted to stop Lois from speaking up and learnt that she was working with [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood Cardiff]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Children of Earth: Day Four (TV story)}}) Following Frobisher's murder-[[suicide]], she visited Lois in her [[prison cell]] and told her of how Frobisher ought to be remembered as a good man. She learnt from Lois how to use the [[Eye-5]] contact lenses and withdrew them from evidence, using them to record [[Brian Green]] who described himself as "lucky" after the incident. She told Green that she had been recording and was dismissed by [[Denise Riley]], who promised to have Lois released and that Green would be exposed, avenging Frobisher's death. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Children of Earth: Day Five (TV story)}})


After the 456 had been destroyed by Jack Harkness, the COBRA meeting was disbanded, with the [[United States of America|American]] military and [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] leaving. Only [[Denise Riley]] and Bridget stayed. PM Green noted what had happened, and classed himself as 'lucky'. Bridget told Green that she was wearing the contact lenses and told him that she had all his conversations on tape. They would be given to the general public after everything that had happened. Green threatened to have her arrested, but Home Secretary Riley let Bridget go and told Bridget that she would see to Lois's release. ([[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five]]'')
