Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
When driving towards Devil's End, the baker's man encountered an earth tremor caused by Azal reducing in size and stopped his van, staggering away from the vehicle.
Just as the tremor subsided, the van suddenly exploded. The baker's man attracted the attention of the Brigadier when he arrived in his staff car, warning him of the danger, and they realised a heat barrier was blocking the road, having sprung up in the same place as the van. The Brigadier and his driver left to try to find another way into the village, via the south, seemingly leaving the baker's man behind at the scene. (TV: The Dæmons)
