[[Surgeon-Lieutenant]] '''Harold Sullivan''', also known as '''Harry''', was a [[companion]] of the [[Fourth Doctor]] and the [[Seventh Doctor]].


'''Harry Sullivan''' was a physician in the employ of [[UNIT]]. Assigned to take care of [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]] medically following his [[regeneration]], he travelled with him and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] briefly. Later, he would work for [[wikipedia:NATO|NATO]].
He was a [[Royal Navy]] [[surgeon]] in the employ of [[UNIT]] and later worked for [[NATO]] and [[MI5]].


==Profile==
== Biography ==
Harry was originally a doctor in the [[Royal Navy]], who was attached as medical officer to UNIT.
=== Early life ===
Harold Sullivan, who preferred to go by Harry, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Millennium Shock (novel)}}) was born in [[London]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Operation Dusk (audio story)}}) in [[May]] [[1942]] and [[christening|christened]] in [[Harrow on the Hill]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}}) His great-grandparents were [[Athena James]] and [[Albert Sullivan]], a [[19th century]] [[Royal Navy|navy]] [[surgeon]] whom he greatly resembled. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Gaze of the Medusa (comic story)}}) As a boy, Harry enjoyed reading the adventures of [[Captain Jack Harkaway]] in ''[[The Ensign]]'' magazine. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Scratchman (novelisation)}})


He is was mentioned (though not seen) when the Brigadier thinks the Third Doctor has gone into a coma. ([[DW]]: [[Planet of the Spiders]])
[[Harry Sullivan's father|Harry's father]] worked in the [[military]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Worlds Beyond (audio story)}}) and [[marriage|remarried]] after [[Harry Sullivan's mother|Harry's mother]] died, having another son named [[Will Sullivan|Will]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Buried Secrets (audio story)}}) As Harry wanted to please his father and [[Will Sullivan's mother|his stepmother]], who worked in [[medicine]], Harry went on to study medicine ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Worlds Beyond (audio story)}}) at [[Dartmouth Naval College]]. There, he befriended [[Teddy Bland]], played [[rugby]] and [[rowing|rowed]] with the [[Dartmouth College Ace Eight]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}}) before becoming a [[Surgeon-Lieutenant]] in the [[Royal Navy]], telling Will, whom he visited at [[Christmas]] and on [[birthday]]s and who viewed him as more of an uncle than a brother, stories about his experiences and encouraging him to study medicine as well. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Buried Secrets (audio story)}})  


The Brigadier calls "Doctor Sullivan" and asks him to come to the Doctor's laboratory, but tells him not to bother when Sergeant Benton wakes the Doctor by offering him a cup of coffee. After the Doctor's third [[regeneration]], Sullivan is called in to attend him, and ends up travelling aboard the [[TARDIS]] with the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] for several subsequent adventures.([[DW]]: [[Robot (TV story)|Robot]])  
During his first year as a fully commissioned officer, Harry served on the ''[[Ark Royal]]''. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Face of the Enemy (novel)}}) Whilst at [[Pompey Barracks]], he caught his [[nose]] in a sliding door. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ark in Space (TV story)}}) He was posted to [[Calcutta]] in his early days and always wanted to return there afterwards to see the friends he made there again. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)}}) Whilst posted at [[Faslane]] in [[Scotland]], he was occasionally visited by [[Esther Bland|Esther]], Teddy's sister, whom he fancied. According to one account, it was during his time there that he first encountered [[UNIT]], meeting [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Face of the Enemy (novel)}}) He often [[boxing|boxed]] whilst in the navy. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)}})


Harry is rather old-fashioned and stereotypically English in his attitudes. He often employs slightly archaic language — for example, referring to Sarah affectionately as "old thing". He is nonetheless depicted as possessing great bravery and a "can-do" attitude, adapting well to the many strange situations in which he finds himself. He can, however, also be quite clumsy and unsubtle, leading the Doctor to once declare, in a moment of frustration, that "Harry Sullivan is an imbecile!" Nonetheless he is well-liked by the Doctor and Sarah, and has a slightly flirtatious relationship with the latter. He called Sarah Jane ''Old Thing'' several times when he encountered a Sontaran. ([[DW]]: [[The Sontaran Experiment]])
=== Joining UNIT ===
Harry felt useless stuck at [[sea]] during the [[Silurian plague]] and, a year or so later, planned a career change and applied for a job at a [[hospital]] in [[London]]. He investigated the [[massacre]] at [[17 Foxworth Drive]] and came into contact with the Brigadier, who decided to invite him to join UNIT as the new [[medical officer]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|London Orbital (audio story)}}) He was given a loud send-off at barracks ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Kaleidoscope (audio story)}}) and was unable to continue his relationship with Esther, whom he had planned to propose to. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}})


Harry's last trip in the Tardis when he encountered the [[Zygons]] and the Loch Ness Monster. He decided to go home to London by Train not Tardis.
Like all naval personnel of UNIT, Harry was given reports on the [[Sea Devil]]s to read to ensure that he was familiar with them. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)}}) Shortly after joining, the Brigadier had Harry test [[Kaleidoscope (Kaleidoscope)|Kaleidoscope]]'s powers under [[laboratory]] conditions. It was whilst doing so that he saw [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] for the first time, although he did not know its true nature. He went to the old [[UNIT HQ]] with the Brigadier, Kal and [[Jenny Nettles]] to transport [[the Grid]] and later checked on Kal's [[headache]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Kaleidoscope (audio story)}})
([[DW]]:[[Terror of the Zygons]])  


He did, however, meet the Doctor again in the Andriod Invasion ([[DW]]:[[The Android Invasion]]),
The Brigadier summoned Harry to help see the [[Third Doctor]] through during his apparent [[coma]] when he entered a trance with a [[Metebelis crystal]]. However, when [[John Benton|Sergeant John Benton]] woke the Doctor up by offering him a cup of [[coffee]], the Brigadier cancelled the call for Harry's assistance. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}}) The [[Fourth Doctor]] would later remark that Harry "missed" his [[regeneration]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)}}) several weeks later. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}})


==Appearances in other media==
=== Joining the Doctor ===
After leaving the cast of the programme, Ian Marter went on to pen several novelisations of ''Doctor Who'' stories for [[Target Books]], writing an original novel, ''[[Harry Sullivan's War]]'' for them in 1985. In ''Harry Sullivan's War'', the character has become an [[MI5]] operative. Marter was believed to have been planning a sequel at the time of his tragic death from a diabetic coma the following year.
Harry was summoned to the [[laboratory]] by the Brigadier to see to the recently [[regeneration|regenerated]] [[Fourth Doctor]]. He had him taken to the sick bay and, after being tied up and left in the cupboard by his patient, joined him and the Brigadier in visiting [[Emmett's Electronics]], the scene of one of [[K1]]'s [[robbery|robberies]]. He volunteered to infiltrate the [[Scientific Reform Society]] and escaped with the help of [[Sarah Jane Smith]] after being discovered and tied up.


Marter also wrote the novelisations ''[[Doctor Who and the Ark in Space]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment]]'', putting him in the unique position of adapting two stories in which he himself acted.
Following K1's defeat, Harry saw the Doctor and Sarah go to enter [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] and expressed his incredulity, prompting the Doctor to invite him in. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Robot (TV story)}}) Despite the Brigadier shouting that the Doctor was forbidden to leave, he quickly dematerialised the ship, taking Harry on his first adventure in time and space. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)}})


Between 1994 and 2003, the character of Harry has appeared in several novels from [[Virgin Publishing]] and [[BBC Books]]. Some of these stories are set in gaps between televised adventures featuring the character, but in several books he has been seen either earlier or later in life.
=== Adventures with the Doctor ===
==== The Nerva saga ====
{{Section stub|Info from {{cs|The Ark (audio story)}} needs to be added}}
[[File:HarryLooksRightAIS.jpg|thumb|left|Harry, perplexed by [[Space Station Nerva]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ark in Space (TV story)}})]]
Promised a journey to the [[Moon]], Harry fiddled with the [[helmic regulator]], causing the TARDIS to instead arrive on [[Space Station Nerva]]. Harry found Sarah after she was put in [[suspended animation]] and, in trying to find a [[resuscitation unit]], came across the corpse of a [[Wirrn]], later working with the Doctor to perform a brief [[autopsy]] on a [[Wirrn Queen]]. Following the Wirrn's defeat, Harry joined the Doctor and Sarah in going to the uninhabited [[Earth]] by [[transmat]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ark in Space (TV story)}}) By another account, they went down to Earth in the TARDIS, which was accidentally returned to Space Station Nerva by the transmat after they disembarked onto the surface. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (novelisation)}}, {{cs|Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment (novelisation)}})


In the [[Virgin Missing Adventures]] novel ''[[System Shock]]'' (1995) and the [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures]] novel ''[[Millennium Shock]]'' (1999), both by Justin Richards, he is seen during the 1990s as a Deputy Director of MI5. An even later early-[[21st century]] Harry has a cameo in the [[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventure]] ''[[Damaged Goods]]'' by [[Russell T. Davies]].
On Earth, Harry found himself separated from his companions, eventually spotting Sarah and [[Roth]] as [[Styre]] took them prisoner. He attempted to help [[Prisoner (The Sontaran Experiment)|a man]] who soon died due to Styre's experiments, looked after Sarah when she passed out from [[fear]] and, on the Doctor's instruction, removed the [[terullian diode bypass transformer]] from Styre's [[Styre's ship|ship]], causing the [[Sontaran]]'s death. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sontaran Experiment (TV story)}})


The New Adventure ''[[Blood Heat]]'' (1993) by Jim Mortimore briefly depicts a [[Parallel universe (fiction)|parallel universe]] version of Harry serving on a nuclear submarine in a dystopian world ruled by the [[Silurians]], where he manages to save the life of the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s companion [[Bernice Summerfield]].  
The trio were intercepted by the [[Time Lord]]s as they returned to Nerva and were instead transported to [[Skaro]] to prevent the [[creation of the Daleks]]. Harry and the Doctor were interrogated and scanned by the [[Kaled]]s, eventually escaping and rescuing Sarah from the [[Thal City]] before returning to stop [[Davros]], to which end Harry dressed as a [[guard]] in an attempt to stop [[Nyder]]. Upon reclaiming the [[Time Ring]] given to them, they departed ([[TV]]: {{cs|Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)}}) and were scattered across the [[Adelphine Cluster]] due to temporal disruption.


In [[David A. McIntee]]'s Past Doctor Adventure ''[[The Face of the Enemy (Doctor Who)|The Face of the Enemy]]'' (1998) Harry is seen still working for the Royal Navy before his secondment to UNIT, which he first encounters in the novel.  
Alone on [[Jand (planet)|Jand]], Harry utilised his medical skills to save lives during a battle. He was reunited with Sarah after leaving the planet aboard the ''[[Oranos]]'' and went on to find the Doctor, whose [[amnesia]] Harry inadvertently resolved by mentioning the TARDIS. The three were given a new Time Ring ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Device of Death (novel)}}) which took them to the ''[[Desolii]]''. There, Harry was believed to be a [[patient]] and was tortured by [[robot]] [[psychiatrist]]s, making him wonder if he wanted to continue travelling with the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Last Thing You Ever See (short story)}})


The find your fate-style gamebook ''[[The Rebel's Gamble]]'' features Harry in an adventure with the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown]].
[[File:Harry examines warner.jpg|thumb|right|Harry examines the dying [[Warner]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)}})]]
According to one account, the travellers arrived on Nerva centuries before they left and had to wait for the TARDIS to drift back to them. In the meantime, Harry transmatted to [[Voga]] with Sarah to save her from the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]'s virus. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) According to another account, the three of them arrived on Nerva later than intended and fought the Cybermen before eventually learning of the TARDIS's location. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Return of the Cybermen (audio story)}})


In the [[Big Finish Productions]] audio drama ''UNIT: The Wasting'' (2005), Commodore Sullivan (who is working with NATO) is called on by the Brigadier for a favour but does not have a speaking part.
==== Further adventures ====
{{Section stub|Further info from {{cs|Nanomorphosis (short story)}}, {{cs|HarrySullivan (audio story)|#HarrySullivan}} and {{cs|Black Destiny (comic story)}} needs to be added}}
Having received a summons from the Brigadier on the [[space-time telegraph]], the Doctor attempted to pilot the TARDIS to [[Scotland]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)}} / [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Return of the Cybermen (audio story)}}) but instead landed in [[24th century]] [[Prague]], where Harry performed an autopsy on the body of [[Hrabal|Professor Hrabal]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Nanomorphosis (short story)}})


Harry's previously unknown younger stepbrother, [[Will Sullivan]] (also a medical doctor), appears in the second series of the ''Sarah Jane Smith'' (2005-2006) audio plays by Big Finish, voiced by [[Tom Chadbon]]. Harry is mentioned by both Will and Sarah, but he is apparently on some secret assignment and neither has seen him for a long time. Will is eventually revealed to be a sleeper agent of a religious cult targeting Sarah, and dies during the course of the series.
Further adventures took the travellers to [[the Zephyr]], which Harry was able to save by becoming a [[celebrity]] on [[Deraxis]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|HarrySullivan (audio story)|#HarrySullivan}}) and to [[2086]] [[Takhail]], where Harry began turning into a [[zombie]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Black Destiny (comic story)}})


==Behind the scenes==
Harry was accidentally stranded in England in [[November]] [[1936]] when the TARDIS took off without him and met the [[Eighth Doctor]]. He helped combat [[werewolf|werewolves]] and defeated [[Hester Stanton]] using the [[Holy Grail]] before rejoining his Doctor and Sarah in the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Wolfsbane (novel)}}) On their way to Scotland, Harry dropped the [[crystal ball]] containing the [[Carrionite]]s, freeing them. They took no notice of Harry and were defeated when the Doctor allowed them to be devoured by the [[Reaper]]s, after which the TARDIS finally landed in Scotland. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Toil and Trouble (short story)}})
Although various spinoff media have depicted Harry living into the 21st century, in real life the actor who portrayed him, [[Ian Marter]], died in 1986. A reference to the character is made in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' episode ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'' when Sarah Jane considers Harry as a possible name for her adopted son, [[Luke Smith]]. It has yet to be established whether Harry Sullivan still lives in the present-day continuity of the revived Doctor Who franchise.

=== Returning to Earth ===
[[Category:Companions of the Fourth Doctor|Sullivan, Harry]]
Returning to Earth, the trio then assisted UNIT in defeating the shape-changing [[Zygon]]s and their giant, [[dinosaur]]-like beast, the [[Skarasen]], in [[Scotland]]. After the Zygons' defeat, Harry decided to stay on Earth, choosing to take a train back to London. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Zygons (TV story)}})
[[Category:UNIT personnel|Sullivan, Harry]]
 
[[Category:Human companions|Sullivan, Harry]]
One of the core reasons he decided to stay, he later told Sarah, was his realization that he had never had the ability to appreciate the places the Doctor took him due to his focus on the instinct of survival. He noted, for instance, that he had no idea how many moons Skaro had, nor any memory of the sky.

[[Category:Television companions|Sullivan, Harry]]
The next time Harry had leave from his UNIT work, he returned to the Highlands and explored them again by foot, now having time to appreciate his surroundings, causing his neck to become "sore from looking up." ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Hello Goodbye (short story)}})
 
Harry wrote reports on his adventures with the Doctor and included everything he knew about the [[Wirrn]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Hosts of the Wirrn (audio story)}})
 
By [[1983]], Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart was aware that Sullivan had been seconded to [[NATO]], working undercover on a hush-hush project, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mawdryn Undead (TV story)}}, [[HOMEVID]]: {{cs|Liberty Hall (home video)|timestamp=00:01:32}}, etc.) the development of the [[Z-67]] [[nerve gas]] to be used against [[Zygon]]s. However, the gas was confiscated by the Doctor. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Zygon Invasion (TV story)}}/{{cs|The Zygon Inversion (TV story)}})
 
When the Doctor and Sarah returned to Earth, Harry helped them against the [[Kraal (species)|Kraals]], who had also created an [[android]] duplicate of him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Android Invasion (TV story)}})
 
On one occasion when the Doctor and Sarah left a note that simply said "Gone on holiday", the Brigadier questioned Harry on the letter but he did not know anything as he had recently returned from leave. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A New Life (1976 short story)}})
 
[[File:Official Secrets Harry Sullivan and Nine.jpg|thumb|Harry again meets [[Ninth Doctor|a future incarnation]] of the Doctor. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Official Secrets (comic story)}})]]
At some point during his UNIT career, Harry was put in charge of a team and sent to the West Country to investigate a missing UNIT team member and a subsequent series of "monster" sightings. He met up with the [[Ninth Doctor]] and his companions, [[Rose Tyler]] and [[Jack Harkness]], and together they found the missing man and solved the mystery of the "monsters". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Official Secrets (comic story)}})
 
=== Resumed travels with the Doctor and Sarah ===
{{section stub}}
According to some sources, Harry did not travel in the TARDIS again by the time the Doctor "quit UNIT," ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Hello Goodbye (short story)}}, {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}}) while other stories suggested that Harry did travel with the Doctor and Sarah after the [[Zygon]] and [[android]] encounters. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Scratchman (novelisation)}} et al.)
 
Harry rejoined the Doctor and Sarah on their travels after a time. The Doctor was in UNIT HQ working on an [[Oscillating Reverberator Unit]] to improve the TARDIS. After being briefly interrupted by Benton, the Doctor convinced Harry and Sarah to join him to test out the gadget, after relieving the former about the worries he had deserting his post at UNIT by telling him it would only take five [[minute]]s. They found themselves under attack from a galleon in space. Sarah and Harry were forced to walk the plank of the ship by the [[Captain (Avast There!)|captain]] before being rescued by the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Avast There! (short story)}})
 
The TARDIS brought the trio to a Scottish island where they had a picnic. They discovered villagers being transformed into living scarecrows and sheltered the remaining humans together in the church. Devising a plan to stop the scarecrows with evolved moths, the Doctor sent Harry to fetch supplies from a local store, with Harry luckily avoiding the scarecrows pursuing him. After the Doctor was forced to surrender to the scarecrows after the villagers turned on him, Harry and Sarah used his moths to rescue him on the beach. The scarecrows' masters, three [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], and their benefactor, [[Scratchman]], then revealed themselves to the trio. Scratchman took Harry and Sarah to his universe to force the Doctor to come. Harry and Sarah were reunited with the Doctor when Scratchman challenged him to a fight. Scratchman drew on Harry's memories to create a giant game of pinball to trap them in and caught Harry in a cage. After the Doctor won by denying Scratchman the high score, Scratchman dropped Harry through a hole towards lava however he landed on a ledge and made his way through a pipe, where he found Scratchman's servants and convinced them to abandon their master. This interrupted Scratchman's energy supply, bringing down his castle, and in the ruins Harry found the Doctor and Sarah. He and Sarah faced an army of scarecrows based off the Doctor's old foes whilst the Doctor confronted Scratchman. In the aftermath Harry and Sarah fell into quicksand but they were rescued by the [[Cyber-Leader (Scratchman)|Cyber-Leader]], and then found the Doctor. After departing Scratchman's universe in the TARDIS they resumed their picnic. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Scratchman (novelisation)}})
 
Harry later heard about the Doctor's attempt to return Sarah to [[Croydon]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dominant Species (audio story)}}) in which he actually left her in [[Aberdeen]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|School Reunion (TV story)}})
 
=== Travels with the Fourth Doctor and Naomi ===
{{section stub|Info from ''[[Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)|Storm of the Sea Devils]]'', ''[[Worlds Beyond (audio story)|Worlds Beyond]]'', {{cs|Matryoshka (audio story)}}, {{cs|The Caged Assassin (audio story)}}, {{cs|Metamorphosis (audio story)}}, {{cs|The Face in the Storm (audio story)}} and {{cs|Dominant Species (audio story)}} needs to be added.}}
"Not far off" the [[1980s]], Harry and [[Naomi Cross]] travelled with the Fourth Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Fire and Ice (audio story)}}) Following an encounter with the [[Dominator]]s in which many lives were lost, the Doctor tried to return Harry and Naomi to their own time. However, they found themselves in the [[2010s]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|London Orbital (audio story)}})
 
=== The Vulpreen invasion ===
{{Section stub|Info from ''[[One Way or Another (audio story)|One Way or Another]]'' and ''[[True Nemesis (audio story)|True Nemesis]]'' needs to be added}}
[[File:Harry and Naomi.jpg|thumb|left|Harry and [[Naomi Cross]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Between Two Worlds (audio anthology)|Between Two Worlds]]'')]]
Harry and Naomi joined UNIT, led by [[Kate Stewart]], due to their familiarity with the organisation. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|London Orbital (audio story)}}) They went to [[Australia]] to give [[UNIT Australia]] a talk on [[UFO]] sightings and became aware of a crashed [[Ice Warrior]] [[spacecraft]]. When Kate contacted Harry to help [[Petronella Osgood]] duplicate [[the Eleven]]'s [[antitoxin]], he invited her to Australia to help. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Enemy Beyond (audio story)}})
 
Posing as a [[journalist]], Harry met with [[Ros Green]] to learn more about the Ice Warrior that she had found and, when [[Jakernia]] attacked, he fled with her and Naomi. Ros eventually tricked Harry into giving her the [[key]]s to Naomi's [[van]], allowing her to escape whilst he and Naomi were left behind and joined by Kate and Osgood. On board Jakernia's ship, Harry used Martian data to duplicate the Eleven's antitoxin and later returned to the [[United Kingdom]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Fire and Ice (audio story)}})
 
Harry, Kate, Osgood and [[Josh Carter]] followed an anonymous tip-off to a remote house inhabited by a family [[hypnosis|hypnotised]] by the Eleven. He later performed an [[autopsy]] on [[Ava Drake]] to find out exactly how the Eleven had killed her and located an electronic implant which he sent [[photograph]]s of to Osgood. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Curator's Gambit (audio story)}})
 
During the Eleven's imprisonment at [[UNIT HQ]], Harry performed weekly medical examinations. [[Jacqui McGee]] was taken to see him after she returned through [[the Arch]] from the [[Void World]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Man From Gallifrey (audio story)}}) He believed that she was fine but seemed distracted.
 
[[File:Harry, Naomi and Quark.jpg|thumb|right|Harry, Naomi and a [[Quark]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Agents of the Vulpreen (audio anthology)|Agents of the Vulpreen]]'')]]
Harry and Naomi recognised [[Prast|Director Prast]] as a [[Dominator]] and went with Kate and Osgood to investigate [[Portstone New Town]]. He and Kate pretended to be journalists and searched [[Sabo|Engineer Sabo]]'s office, finding a screen from which they learn that [[human]]s were being enslaved. They escaped from the [[Quark]]s by forcing them to use up their energy. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Power of the Dominators (audio story)}})
 
At [[Porton Down]], Harry's analysis found that [[Axonite]] was present in the [[soil]] in [[Houston]], in [[Rio de Janeiro]], the [[water]]s of the [[River Thames]], the [[tree]]s in [[Paris]] and in [[Singapore]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Axos Unleashed (audio story)}})
 
Harry investigated an arch on [[Wimbledon Common]] and was joined by Naomi. They watched the [[time field]] greatly expand. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Time of the Vulpreen (audio story)}})
 
=== Travels with the Seventh Doctor ===
{{Section stub|Information from ''[[Operation Dusk (audio story)|Operation Dusk]]'' and ''[[Naomi's Ark (audio story)|Naomi's Ark]]'' needs to be added}}
Correctly believing that the sighting of [[elf]]-like creatures at [[Clerkenwell tube station]] was connected to the massacre at [[17 Foxworth Drive]], Harry investigated with Naomi and met the [[Seventh Doctor]], whom they recognised from UNIT files, after the two of them were attacked by [[Keryth]] at the station. They became separated from the Doctor, meeting the [[Ljósálfar]] and being attacked by the [[Dökkálfar]], but he eventually came to their rescue and the trio exposed Keryth's warmongering, after which Harry inadvertently buried him in rubble. He and Naomi accepted the Doctor's offer to return them to the [[20th century]] and they joined him in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|London Orbital (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor took Harry and Naomi to [[1969]] [[Chester]] when the TARDIS picked up the sound of [[scream]]s and found numerous centuries-old [[bone]]s which he went back in time to investigate, unwittingly leaving Harry in 1969. Harry observed a breach in [[spacetime]] and tricked the patrons of [[Shockstock]] into [[evacuation|evacuating]] by claiming that [[the Beatles]] had arrived before [[Dalek]]s emerged from it and began attacking. He helped keep [[Cavan (Scream of the Daleks)|Cavan]] and [[Gilly (Scream of the Daleks)|Gilly]] safe until the Doctor defeated the Daleks and stopped the [[vision]]s that their [[Pathweb]] had been creating. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Scream of the Daleks (audio story)}})
 
=== Post-UNIT career ===
{{Section stub|Info from {{cs|Damaged Goods (novel)}} needs to be added}}
In the early [[1980s]], Harry worked at [[NATO]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mawdryn Undead (TV story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}}) According to one source, he did not see Sarah again until ten years after he left her and the Doctor in [[Scotland]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}})
 
By [[1997]], he was Deputy Director at [[MI5]]. At that time, via the agency of [[time travel]], he met up once again with [[Fourth Doctor|a familiar version of the Doctor]], as well as a much younger Sarah Jane Smith, for whom little time had passed. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|System Shock (novel)}}) He still worked for MI5 in [[1999]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Millennium Shock (novel)}}) and became Chief of Staff at some point prior to [[2015]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Damaged Goods (novel)}})
 
By [[2005]], he was back at NATO, having achieved the rank of Commodore. The Brigadier asked him for a favour at the time. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Wasting (audio story)}})
 
He encountered [[The Two]] who tricked him into thinking that the was the Doctor and worked with him in an experiment. He also encountered Doctor during his [[degeneration]] crisis initially looking like his Third Incarnation and then after a degeneration his Sixth incarnation. He was looking at a [[desentherium]] crystal which the Doctor realised caused cellular degeneration. He bought the necklace the Doctor was after for the Two. The Doctor revealed to him that he was working for the Two and to call in actual UNIT to decommission the Two's work. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Two's Company (audio story)}})
 
=== Disappearance ===
To commemorate an anniversary date, Sarah Jane had yearly meetings with Harry Sullivan. By [[2006]], Harry had been missing in action for some time, though Sarah kept coming to the same place they used to meet. She "talked" to him and raised a toast to him wherever he was. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Buried Secrets (audio story)}}) Harry was still missing in [[2009]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (novelisation)}})
 
Sarah Jane had a photo of Harry in her attic at [[13 Bannerman Road]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Invasion of the Bane (TV story)}}) In [[2010]], Sarah Jane recalled that Harry had worked in developing [[vaccine]]s that had saved thousands of lives. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Death of the Doctor (TV story)}})
 
=== Later life ===
In [[June]] [[2015]], though, Harry was alive and discovered a possible cure for [[HIV]] in [[blood]] taken from [[David Daniels]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Damaged Goods (novel)}})
 
=== Undated events ===
At some point, a photo of Harry existed in UNIT's [[Black Archive]] alongside Sergeant Benton and Sarah Jane to record him as a [[companion]] of the Doctor. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})
 
At another point, Harry was abducted by [[Adam Mitchell]] as part his plan to get revenge on the Doctor, in collaboration with {{Ainley}}. He was placed in stasis alongside the Doctors' multiple other companions, before being released by the Doctors first eleven numbered incarnations with the help of [[Frobisher]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Choice (comic story)}}, {{cs|Endgame (POT comic story)}})
 
At some point, Harry traveled in the TARDIS with the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Rebel's Gamble (novel)}})
 
=== Other realities ===
A version of Harry appeared in a "[[hellscape]]" [[dream]] the [[Eleventh Doctor]] created while the [[mind parasite]] Mr [[Waites (John Smith and the Common Men)|Waites]] fed off the worst thing Doctor could imagine. In the dream, the Doctor worked with Harry at the [[Department of Commonality]]. Harry revealed that the protest at the "square" was much larger than reported and that his sister's boyfriend had proof on his [[camera]]. After the Doctor didn't enjoy working at mediation and wanted to return to records, he reported to Mr Waites about the camera, and the [[peace officer]]s arrested Harry. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|John Smith and the Common Men (comic story)}})
 
==== Alternative timelines ====
A [[Silurian Earth|parallel Earth]] version of Harry served on a [[submarine|nuclear submarine]] in a world taken over by the [[Silurian]]s after the death of the [[Third Doctor]]. He saved the life of the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s companion [[Bernice Summerfield]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blood Heat (novel)}})
 
In a timeline{{which}} created by {{Jacobi}}'s usage of the [[Anti-Genesis codes]], the [[Fourth Doctor]], as in the primary timeline, was sent back to the [[creation of the Daleks]] to undo it. Knowing he would come, the Master had his [[Dalek (The Master's Dalek Plan)|Daleks]] ambush the Doctor, Harry and [[Sarah Jane Smith]], exterminating them. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Shockwave (TWM audio story)}})
 
==== Parallel universes ====
In a [[The Warrior's universe|parallel universe]] where Sarah Jane convinced [[The Warrior|the Doctor]] to avert the [[creation of the Daleks]], he sent her and Harry to the laboratory where the [[Time Ring]] was held. As the two made their way there, they were delayed by Sarah's memories rewriting themselves allowing the Doctor to catch up to them and a [[prototype]] Dalek to intercept them. It opening fire on Harry, killing him. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dust Devil (audio story)}})
 
== Personality ==
Harry was rather old-fashioned and stereotypically [[English]] in his attitudes. He often employed slightly archaic language, referring to Sarah affectionately as "old girl" or "old thing" — which somewhat annoyed her. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sontaran Experiment (TV story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (novelisation)}}) He was brave, one time saving the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s life from a [[land mine]] on [[Skaro]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)}}) He had a "can-do" attitude, adapting well to the many strange situations in which he found himself. He could, however, be quite clumsy and unsubtle. This led the Doctor to declare in a moment of frustration, at the top of his [[lung]]s that "Harry Sullivan is an imbecile!", before passing out from the effects of a rockfall on [[Voga]] – caused by Harry. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) He flirted a bit with Sarah. Despite an outward annoyance at that attitude, once when thinking him dead, Sarah admitted she found it endearing. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Wolfsbane (novel)}})
 
He was good at [[cricket]], and was able to throw a [[cricket ball]] over at least a metre. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (novelisation)}})
 
Harry left the TARDIS considerably early compared to many other companions, such as Sarah Jane. When speaking with Sarah later, he reflected that he had chosen to leave the ship after realising the Doctor had taken him to amazing places, but that he had been too "distracted by alien invaders" to appreciate them. It was his failure to take in Loch Ness due to the [[Zygon]] attack which truly had convinced him of this, but he also referenced [[Skaro]] as being an example of this problem. He had been to an alien world, he noted, but had no memory of what the sky looked like, or how many moons there were, because he had been too focused on the instinct of survival. Leaving the TARDIS gave him the chance to explore Earth. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Hello Goodbye (short story)}})
 
== Appearance ==
Harry was a big and cheerful man with a square [[jaw]], fair curly [[hair]] and blue [[eye]]s. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)}}) He had [[sideburn]]s which he shaved off after leaving UNIT, refusing [[Esther Bland|Esther]]'s requests that he grow them back. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}}) By [[1998]], he was grey at his temples, his hair had started to thin and recede and his face was lined, softer and round. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|System Shock (novel)}})
 
Harry was in top physical condition, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)}}) having [[rowing|rowed]] and played [[rugby]] in college, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}}) [[boxing|boxed]] in the [[Royal Navy|navy]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)}}) and regularly exercised in the [[gym]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harry Sullivan's War (novel)}}) He still looked fit and well in his late forties. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|System Shock (novel)}})
 
Sarah thought that Harry looked like the [[hero]] of a ''[[Boy's Own Paper]]'' adventure, reminding her of [[Biggles]] and [[Bulldog Drummond]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)}})

Harry Sullivan
Appearances
You may be looking for Hari Sullivan.

Surgeon-Lieutenant Harold Sullivan, also known as Harry, was a companion of the Fourth Doctor and the Seventh Doctor.

He was a Royal Navy surgeon in the employ of UNIT and later worked for NATO and MI5.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Early life[[edit] | [edit source]]

Harold Sullivan, who preferred to go by Harry, (PROSE: Millennium Shock [+]Loading...["Millennium Shock (novel)"]) was born in London (AUDIO: Operation Dusk [+]Loading...["Operation Dusk (audio story)"]) in May 1942 and christened in Harrow on the Hill. (PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"]) His great-grandparents were Athena James and Albert Sullivan, a 19th century navy surgeon whom he greatly resembled. (COMIC: Gaze of the Medusa [+]Loading...["Gaze of the Medusa (comic story)"]) As a boy, Harry enjoyed reading the adventures of Captain Jack Harkaway in The Ensign magazine. (PROSE: Scratchman [+]Loading...["Scratchman (novelisation)"])

Harry's father worked in the military (AUDIO: Worlds Beyond [+]Loading...["Worlds Beyond (audio story)"]) and remarried after Harry's mother died, having another son named Will. (AUDIO: Buried Secrets [+]Loading...["Buried Secrets (audio story)"]) As Harry wanted to please his father and his stepmother, who worked in medicine, Harry went on to study medicine (AUDIO: Worlds Beyond [+]Loading...["Worlds Beyond (audio story)"]) at Dartmouth Naval College. There, he befriended Teddy Bland, played rugby and rowed with the Dartmouth College Ace Eight (PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"]) before becoming a Surgeon-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, telling Will, whom he visited at Christmas and on birthdays and who viewed him as more of an uncle than a brother, stories about his experiences and encouraging him to study medicine as well. (AUDIO: Buried Secrets [+]Loading...["Buried Secrets (audio story)"])

During his first year as a fully commissioned officer, Harry served on the Ark Royal. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy [+]Loading...["The Face of the Enemy (novel)"]) Whilst at Pompey Barracks, he caught his nose in a sliding door. (TV: The Ark in Space [+]Loading...["The Ark in Space (TV story)"]) He was posted to Calcutta in his early days and always wanted to return there afterwards to see the friends he made there again. (AUDIO: Storm of the Sea Devils [+]Loading...["Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)"]) Whilst posted at Faslane in Scotland, he was occasionally visited by Esther, Teddy's sister, whom he fancied. According to one account, it was during his time there that he first encountered UNIT, meeting Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy [+]Loading...["The Face of the Enemy (novel)"]) He often boxed whilst in the navy. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Giant Robot [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)"])

Joining UNIT[[edit] | [edit source]]

Harry felt useless stuck at sea during the Silurian plague and, a year or so later, planned a career change and applied for a job at a hospital in London. He investigated the massacre at 17 Foxworth Drive and came into contact with the Brigadier, who decided to invite him to join UNIT as the new medical officer. (AUDIO: London Orbital [+]Loading...["London Orbital (audio story)"]) He was given a loud send-off at barracks (AUDIO: Kaleidoscope [+]Loading...["Kaleidoscope (audio story)"]) and was unable to continue his relationship with Esther, whom he had planned to propose to. (PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"])

Like all naval personnel of UNIT, Harry was given reports on the Sea Devils to read to ensure that he was familiar with them. (AUDIO: Storm of the Sea Devils [+]Loading...["Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)"]) Shortly after joining, the Brigadier had Harry test Kaleidoscope's powers under laboratory conditions. It was whilst doing so that he saw the TARDIS for the first time, although he did not know its true nature. He went to the old UNIT HQ with the Brigadier, Kal and Jenny Nettles to transport the Grid and later checked on Kal's headache. (AUDIO: Kaleidoscope [+]Loading...["Kaleidoscope (audio story)"])

The Brigadier summoned Harry to help see the Third Doctor through during his apparent coma when he entered a trance with a Metebelis crystal. However, when Sergeant John Benton woke the Doctor up by offering him a cup of coffee, the Brigadier cancelled the call for Harry's assistance. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"]) The Fourth Doctor would later remark that Harry "missed" his regeneration (AUDIO: Storm of the Sea Devils [+]Loading...["Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)"]) several weeks later. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])

Joining the Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

Harry was summoned to the laboratory by the Brigadier to see to the recently regenerated Fourth Doctor. He had him taken to the sick bay and, after being tied up and left in the cupboard by his patient, joined him and the Brigadier in visiting Emmett's Electronics, the scene of one of K1's robberies. He volunteered to infiltrate the Scientific Reform Society and escaped with the help of Sarah Jane Smith after being discovered and tied up.

Following K1's defeat, Harry saw the Doctor and Sarah go to enter the TARDIS and expressed his incredulity, prompting the Doctor to invite him in. (TV: Robot [+]Loading...["Robot (TV story)"]) Despite the Brigadier shouting that the Doctor was forbidden to leave, he quickly dematerialised the ship, taking Harry on his first adventure in time and space. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Giant Robot [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)"])

Adventures with the Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Nerva saga[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from The Ark [+]Loading...["The Ark (audio story)"] needs to be added

Harry, perplexed by Space Station Nerva (TV: The Ark in Space [+]Loading...["The Ark in Space (TV story)"])

Promised a journey to the Moon, Harry fiddled with the helmic regulator, causing the TARDIS to instead arrive on Space Station Nerva. Harry found Sarah after she was put in suspended animation and, in trying to find a resuscitation unit, came across the corpse of a Wirrn, later working with the Doctor to perform a brief autopsy on a Wirrn Queen. Following the Wirrn's defeat, Harry joined the Doctor and Sarah in going to the uninhabited Earth by transmat. (TV: The Ark in Space [+]Loading...["The Ark in Space (TV story)"]) By another account, they went down to Earth in the TARDIS, which was accidentally returned to Space Station Nerva by the transmat after they disembarked onto the surface. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Ark in Space [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (novelisation)"], Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment (novelisation)"])

On Earth, Harry found himself separated from his companions, eventually spotting Sarah and Roth as Styre took them prisoner. He attempted to help a man who soon died due to Styre's experiments, looked after Sarah when she passed out from fear and, on the Doctor's instruction, removed the terullian diode bypass transformer from Styre's ship, causing the Sontaran's death. (TV: The Sontaran Experiment [+]Loading...["The Sontaran Experiment (TV story)"])

The trio were intercepted by the Time Lords as they returned to Nerva and were instead transported to Skaro to prevent the creation of the Daleks. Harry and the Doctor were interrogated and scanned by the Kaleds, eventually escaping and rescuing Sarah from the Thal City before returning to stop Davros, to which end Harry dressed as a guard in an attempt to stop Nyder. Upon reclaiming the Time Ring given to them, they departed (TV: Genesis of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)"]) and were scattered across the Adelphine Cluster due to temporal disruption.

Alone on Jand, Harry utilised his medical skills to save lives during a battle. He was reunited with Sarah after leaving the planet aboard the Oranos and went on to find the Doctor, whose amnesia Harry inadvertently resolved by mentioning the TARDIS. The three were given a new Time Ring (PROSE: A Device of Death [+]Loading...["A Device of Death (novel)"]) which took them to the Desolii. There, Harry was believed to be a patient and was tortured by robot psychiatrists, making him wonder if he wanted to continue travelling with the Doctor. (PROSE: The Last Thing You Ever See [+]Loading...["The Last Thing You Ever See (short story)"])

Harry examines the dying Warner. (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)"])

According to one account, the travellers arrived on Nerva centuries before they left and had to wait for the TARDIS to drift back to them. In the meantime, Harry transmatted to Voga with Sarah to save her from the Cybermen's virus. (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)"]) According to another account, the three of them arrived on Nerva later than intended and fought the Cybermen before eventually learning of the TARDIS's location. (AUDIO: Return of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Return of the Cybermen (audio story)"])

Further adventures[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Further info from Nanomorphosis [+]Loading...["Nanomorphosis (short story)"], #HarrySullivan [+]Loading...["HarrySullivan (audio story)","#HarrySullivan"] and Black Destiny [+]Loading...["Black Destiny (comic story)"] needs to be added

Having received a summons from the Brigadier on the space-time telegraph, the Doctor attempted to pilot the TARDIS to Scotland (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)"] / AUDIO: Return of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Return of the Cybermen (audio story)"]) but instead landed in 24th century Prague, where Harry performed an autopsy on the body of Professor Hrabal. (PROSE: Nanomorphosis [+]Loading...["Nanomorphosis (short story)"])

Further adventures took the travellers to the Zephyr, which Harry was able to save by becoming a celebrity on Deraxis, (AUDIO: #HarrySullivan [+]Loading...["HarrySullivan (audio story)","#HarrySullivan"]) and to 2086 Takhail, where Harry began turning into a zombie. (COMIC: Black Destiny [+]Loading...["Black Destiny (comic story)"])

Harry was accidentally stranded in England in November 1936 when the TARDIS took off without him and met the Eighth Doctor. He helped combat werewolves and defeated Hester Stanton using the Holy Grail before rejoining his Doctor and Sarah in the TARDIS. (PROSE: Wolfsbane [+]Loading...["Wolfsbane (novel)"]) On their way to Scotland, Harry dropped the crystal ball containing the Carrionites, freeing them. They took no notice of Harry and were defeated when the Doctor allowed them to be devoured by the Reapers, after which the TARDIS finally landed in Scotland. (PROSE: Toil and Trouble [+]Loading...["Toil and Trouble (short story)"])

Returning to Earth[[edit] | [edit source]]

Returning to Earth, the trio then assisted UNIT in defeating the shape-changing Zygons and their giant, dinosaur-like beast, the Skarasen, in Scotland. After the Zygons' defeat, Harry decided to stay on Earth, choosing to take a train back to London. (TV: Terror of the Zygons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Zygons (TV story)"])

One of the core reasons he decided to stay, he later told Sarah, was his realization that he had never had the ability to appreciate the places the Doctor took him due to his focus on the instinct of survival. He noted, for instance, that he had no idea how many moons Skaro had, nor any memory of the sky.

The next time Harry had leave from his UNIT work, he returned to the Highlands and explored them again by foot, now having time to appreciate his surroundings, causing his neck to become "sore from looking up." (PROSE: Hello Goodbye [+]Loading...["Hello Goodbye (short story)"])

Harry wrote reports on his adventures with the Doctor and included everything he knew about the Wirrn. (AUDIO: Hosts of the Wirrn [+]Loading...["Hosts of the Wirrn (audio story)"])

By 1983, Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart was aware that Sullivan had been seconded to NATO, working undercover on a hush-hush project, (TV: Mawdryn Undead [+]Loading...["Mawdryn Undead (TV story)"], HOMEVID: Liberty Hall [+]Loading...{"timestamp":"00:01:32","1":"Liberty Hall (home video)"}, etc.) the development of the Z-67 nerve gas to be used against Zygons. However, the gas was confiscated by the Doctor. (TV: The Zygon Invasion [+]Loading...["The Zygon Invasion (TV story)"]/The Zygon Inversion [+]Loading...["The Zygon Inversion (TV story)"])

When the Doctor and Sarah returned to Earth, Harry helped them against the Kraals, who had also created an android duplicate of him. (TV: The Android Invasion [+]Loading...["The Android Invasion (TV story)"])

On one occasion when the Doctor and Sarah left a note that simply said "Gone on holiday", the Brigadier questioned Harry on the letter but he did not know anything as he had recently returned from leave. (PROSE: A New Life [+]Loading...["A New Life (1976 short story)"])

Harry again meets a future incarnation of the Doctor. (COMIC: Official Secrets [+]Loading...["Official Secrets (comic story)"])

At some point during his UNIT career, Harry was put in charge of a team and sent to the West Country to investigate a missing UNIT team member and a subsequent series of "monster" sightings. He met up with the Ninth Doctor and his companions, Rose Tyler and Jack Harkness, and together they found the missing man and solved the mystery of the "monsters". (COMIC: Official Secrets [+]Loading...["Official Secrets (comic story)"])

Resumed travels with the Doctor and Sarah[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Please help by adding some more information.

According to some sources, Harry did not travel in the TARDIS again by the time the Doctor "quit UNIT," (PROSE: Hello Goodbye [+]Loading...["Hello Goodbye (short story)"], Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"]) while other stories suggested that Harry did travel with the Doctor and Sarah after the Zygon and android encounters. (PROSE: Scratchman [+]Loading...["Scratchman (novelisation)"] et al.)

Harry rejoined the Doctor and Sarah on their travels after a time. The Doctor was in UNIT HQ working on an Oscillating Reverberator Unit to improve the TARDIS. After being briefly interrupted by Benton, the Doctor convinced Harry and Sarah to join him to test out the gadget, after relieving the former about the worries he had deserting his post at UNIT by telling him it would only take five minutes. They found themselves under attack from a galleon in space. Sarah and Harry were forced to walk the plank of the ship by the captain before being rescued by the Doctor. (PROSE: Avast There! [+]Loading...["Avast There! (short story)"])

The TARDIS brought the trio to a Scottish island where they had a picnic. They discovered villagers being transformed into living scarecrows and sheltered the remaining humans together in the church. Devising a plan to stop the scarecrows with evolved moths, the Doctor sent Harry to fetch supplies from a local store, with Harry luckily avoiding the scarecrows pursuing him. After the Doctor was forced to surrender to the scarecrows after the villagers turned on him, Harry and Sarah used his moths to rescue him on the beach. The scarecrows' masters, three Cybermen, and their benefactor, Scratchman, then revealed themselves to the trio. Scratchman took Harry and Sarah to his universe to force the Doctor to come. Harry and Sarah were reunited with the Doctor when Scratchman challenged him to a fight. Scratchman drew on Harry's memories to create a giant game of pinball to trap them in and caught Harry in a cage. After the Doctor won by denying Scratchman the high score, Scratchman dropped Harry through a hole towards lava however he landed on a ledge and made his way through a pipe, where he found Scratchman's servants and convinced them to abandon their master. This interrupted Scratchman's energy supply, bringing down his castle, and in the ruins Harry found the Doctor and Sarah. He and Sarah faced an army of scarecrows based off the Doctor's old foes whilst the Doctor confronted Scratchman. In the aftermath Harry and Sarah fell into quicksand but they were rescued by the Cyber-Leader, and then found the Doctor. After departing Scratchman's universe in the TARDIS they resumed their picnic. (PROSE: Scratchman [+]Loading...["Scratchman (novelisation)"])

Harry later heard about the Doctor's attempt to return Sarah to Croydon, (AUDIO: Dominant Species [+]Loading...["Dominant Species (audio story)"]) in which he actually left her in Aberdeen. (TV: School Reunion [+]Loading...["School Reunion (TV story)"])

"Not far off" the 1980s, Harry and Naomi Cross travelled with the Fourth Doctor. (AUDIO: Fire and Ice [+]Loading...["Fire and Ice (audio story)"]) Following an encounter with the Dominators in which many lives were lost, the Doctor tried to return Harry and Naomi to their own time. However, they found themselves in the 2010s. (AUDIO: London Orbital [+]Loading...["London Orbital (audio story)"])

Info from One Way or Another and True Nemesis needs to be added

Harry and Naomi Cross. (AUDIO: Between Two Worlds)

Harry and Naomi joined UNIT, led by Kate Stewart, due to their familiarity with the organisation. (AUDIO: London Orbital [+]Loading...["London Orbital (audio story)"]) They went to Australia to give UNIT Australia a talk on UFO sightings and became aware of a crashed Ice Warrior spacecraft. When Kate contacted Harry to help Petronella Osgood duplicate the Eleven's antitoxin, he invited her to Australia to help. (AUDIO: The Enemy Beyond [+]Loading...["The Enemy Beyond (audio story)"])

Posing as a journalist, Harry met with Ros Green to learn more about the Ice Warrior that she had found and, when Jakernia attacked, he fled with her and Naomi. Ros eventually tricked Harry into giving her the keys to Naomi's van, allowing her to escape whilst he and Naomi were left behind and joined by Kate and Osgood. On board Jakernia's ship, Harry used Martian data to duplicate the Eleven's antitoxin and later returned to the United Kingdom. (AUDIO: Fire and Ice [+]Loading...["Fire and Ice (audio story)"])

Harry, Kate, Osgood and Josh Carter followed an anonymous tip-off to a remote house inhabited by a family hypnotised by the Eleven. He later performed an autopsy on Ava Drake to find out exactly how the Eleven had killed her and located an electronic implant which he sent photographs of to Osgood. (AUDIO: The Curator's Gambit [+]Loading...["The Curator's Gambit (audio story)"])

During the Eleven's imprisonment at UNIT HQ, Harry performed weekly medical examinations. Jacqui McGee was taken to see him after she returned through the Arch from the Void World. (AUDIO: The Man From Gallifrey [+]Loading...["The Man From Gallifrey (audio story)"]) He believed that she was fine but seemed distracted.

Harry, Naomi and a Quark. (AUDIO: Agents of the Vulpreen)

Harry and Naomi recognised Director Prast as a Dominator and went with Kate and Osgood to investigate Portstone New Town. He and Kate pretended to be journalists and searched Engineer Sabo's office, finding a screen from which they learn that humans were being enslaved. They escaped from the Quarks by forcing them to use up their energy. (AUDIO: Power of the Dominators [+]Loading...["Power of the Dominators (audio story)"])

At Porton Down, Harry's analysis found that Axonite was present in the soil in Houston, in Rio de Janeiro, the waters of the River Thames, the trees in Paris and in Singapore. (AUDIO: Axos Unleashed [+]Loading...["Axos Unleashed (audio story)"])

Harry investigated an arch on Wimbledon Common and was joined by Naomi. They watched the time field greatly expand. (AUDIO: Time of the Vulpreen [+]Loading...["Time of the Vulpreen (audio story)"])

Travels with the Seventh Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Information from Operation Dusk and Naomi's Ark needs to be added

Correctly believing that the sighting of elf-like creatures at Clerkenwell tube station was connected to the massacre at 17 Foxworth Drive, Harry investigated with Naomi and met the Seventh Doctor, whom they recognised from UNIT files, after the two of them were attacked by Keryth at the station. They became separated from the Doctor, meeting the Ljósálfar and being attacked by the Dökkálfar, but he eventually came to their rescue and the trio exposed Keryth's warmongering, after which Harry inadvertently buried him in rubble. He and Naomi accepted the Doctor's offer to return them to the 20th century and they joined him in the TARDIS. (AUDIO: London Orbital [+]Loading...["London Orbital (audio story)"])

The Doctor took Harry and Naomi to 1969 Chester when the TARDIS picked up the sound of screams and found numerous centuries-old bones which he went back in time to investigate, unwittingly leaving Harry in 1969. Harry observed a breach in spacetime and tricked the patrons of Shockstock into evacuating by claiming that the Beatles had arrived before Daleks emerged from it and began attacking. He helped keep Cavan and Gilly safe until the Doctor defeated the Daleks and stopped the visions that their Pathweb had been creating.

Info from Damaged Goods [+]Loading...["Damaged Goods (novel)"] needs to be added

In the early 1980s, Harry worked at NATO. (TV: Mawdryn Undead [+]Loading...["Mawdryn Undead (TV story)"], PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"]) According to one source, he did not see Sarah again until ten years after he left her and the Doctor in Scotland. (PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"])

By 1997, he was Deputy Director at MI5. At that time, via the agency of time travel, he met up once again with a familiar version of the Doctor, as well as a much younger Sarah Jane Smith, for whom little time had passed. (PROSE: System Shock [+]Loading...["System Shock (novel)"]) He still worked for MI5 in 1999, (PROSE: Millennium Shock [+]Loading...["Millennium Shock (novel)"]) and became Chief of Staff at some point prior to 2015. (PROSE: Damaged Goods [+]Loading...["Damaged Goods (novel)"])

By 2005, he was back at NATO, having achieved the rank of Commodore. The Brigadier asked him for a favour at the time. (AUDIO: The Wasting [+]Loading...["The Wasting (audio story)"])

He encountered The Two who tricked him into thinking that the was the Doctor and worked with him in an experiment. He also encountered Doctor during his degeneration crisis initially looking like his Third Incarnation and then after a degeneration his Sixth incarnation. He was looking at a desentherium crystal which the Doctor realised caused cellular degeneration. He bought the necklace the Doctor was after for the Two. The Doctor revealed to him that he was working for the Two and to call in actual UNIT to decommission the Two's work. (AUDIO: Two's Company [+]Loading...["Two's Company (audio story)"])

Disappearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

To commemorate an anniversary date, Sarah Jane had yearly meetings with Harry Sullivan. By 2006, Harry had been missing in action for some time, though Sarah kept coming to the same place they used to meet. She "talked" to him and raised a toast to him wherever he was. (AUDIO: Buried Secrets [+]Loading...["Buried Secrets (audio story)"]) Harry was still missing in 2009. (PROSE: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith [+]Loading...["The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (novelisation)"])

Sarah Jane had a photo of Harry in her attic at 13 Bannerman Road. (TV: Invasion of the Bane [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Bane (TV story)"]) In 2010, Sarah Jane recalled that Harry had worked in developing vaccines that had saved thousands of lives. (TV: Death of the Doctor [+]Loading...["Death of the Doctor (TV story)"])

Later life[[edit] | [edit source]]

In June 2015, though, Harry was alive and discovered a possible cure for HIV in blood taken from David Daniels. (PROSE: Damaged Goods [+]Loading...["Damaged Goods (novel)"])

Undated events[[edit] | [edit source]]

At some point, a photo of Harry existed in UNIT's Black Archive alongside Sergeant Benton and Sarah Jane to record him as a companion of the Doctor. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"])

At another point, Harry was abducted by Adam Mitchell as part his plan to get revenge on the Doctor, in collaboration with the Tremas Master. He was placed in stasis alongside the Doctors' multiple other companions, before being released by the Doctors first eleven numbered incarnations with the help of Frobisher. (COMIC: The Choice [+]Loading...["The Choice (comic story)"], Endgame [+]Loading...["Endgame (POT comic story)"])

At some point, Harry traveled in the TARDIS with the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Rebel's Gamble [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Rebel's Gamble (novel)"])

Other realities[[edit] | [edit source]]

A version of Harry appeared in a "hellscape" dream the Eleventh Doctor created while the mind parasite Mr Waites fed off the worst thing Doctor could imagine. In the dream, the Doctor worked with Harry at the Department of Commonality. Harry revealed that the protest at the "square" was much larger than reported and that his sister's boyfriend had proof on his camera. After the Doctor didn't enjoy working at mediation and wanted to return to records, he reported to Mr Waites about the camera, and the peace officers arrested Harry. (COMIC: John Smith and the Common Men [+]Loading...["John Smith and the Common Men (comic story)"])

Alternative timelines[[edit] | [edit source]]

A parallel Earth version of Harry served on a nuclear submarine in a world taken over by the Silurians after the death of the Third Doctor. He saved the life of the Seventh Doctor's companion Bernice Summerfield. (PROSE: Blood Heat [+]Loading...["Blood Heat (novel)"])

In a timeline[which?] created by the War Master's usage of the Anti-Genesis codes, the Fourth Doctor, as in the primary timeline, was sent back to the creation of the Daleks to undo it. Knowing he would come, the Master had his Daleks ambush the Doctor, Harry and Sarah Jane Smith, exterminating them. (AUDIO: Shockwave [+]Loading...["Shockwave (TWM audio story)"])

Parallel universes[[edit] | [edit source]]

In a parallel universe where Sarah Jane convinced the Doctor to avert the creation of the Daleks, he sent her and Harry to the laboratory where the Time Ring was held. As the two made their way there, they were delayed by Sarah's memories rewriting themselves allowing the Doctor to catch up to them and a prototype Dalek to intercept them. It opening fire on Harry, killing him. (AUDIO: Dust Devil [+]Loading...["Dust Devil (audio story)"])

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Harry was rather old-fashioned and stereotypically English in his attitudes. He often employed slightly archaic language, referring to Sarah affectionately as "old girl" or "old thing" — which somewhat annoyed her. (TV: The Sontaran Experiment [+]Loading...["The Sontaran Experiment (TV story)"], PROSE: Doctor Who and the Ark in Space [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (novelisation)"]) He was brave, one time saving the Fourth Doctor's life from a land mine on Skaro. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)"]) He had a "can-do" attitude, adapting well to the many strange situations in which he found himself. He could, however, be quite clumsy and unsubtle. This led the Doctor to declare in a moment of frustration, at the top of his lungs that "Harry Sullivan is an imbecile!", before passing out from the effects of a rockfall on Voga – caused by Harry. (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)"]) He flirted a bit with Sarah. Despite an outward annoyance at that attitude, once when thinking him dead, Sarah admitted she found it endearing. (PROSE: Wolfsbane [+]Loading...["Wolfsbane (novel)"])

He was good at cricket, and was able to throw a cricket ball over at least a metre. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Ark in Space [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (novelisation)"])

Harry left the TARDIS considerably early compared to many other companions, such as Sarah Jane. When speaking with Sarah later, he reflected that he had chosen to leave the ship after realising the Doctor had taken him to amazing places, but that he had been too "distracted by alien invaders" to appreciate them. It was his failure to take in Loch Ness due to the Zygon attack which truly had convinced him of this, but he also referenced Skaro as being an example of this problem. He had been to an alien world, he noted, but had no memory of what the sky looked like, or how many moons there were, because he had been too focused on the instinct of survival. Leaving the TARDIS gave him the chance to explore Earth. (PROSE: Hello Goodbye [+]Loading...["Hello Goodbye (short story)"])

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

Harry was a big and cheerful man with a square jaw, fair curly hair and blue eyes. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Giant Robot [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)"]) He had sideburns which he shaved off after leaving UNIT, refusing Esther's requests that he grow them back. (PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"]) By 1998, he was grey at his temples, his hair had started to thin and recede and his face was lined, softer and round. (PROSE: System Shock [+]Loading...["System Shock (novel)"])

Harry was in top physical condition, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Giant Robot [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)"]) having rowed and played rugby in college, (PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"]) boxed in the navy (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Giant Robot [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)"]) and regularly exercised in the gym. (PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War [+]Loading...["Harry Sullivan's War (novel)"]) He still looked fit and well in his late forties. (PROSE: System Shock [+]Loading...["System Shock (novel)"])

Sarah thought that Harry looked like the hero of a Boy's Own Paper adventure, reminding her of Biggles and Bulldog Drummond. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Giant Robot [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Giant Robot (novelisation)"])
