Pete was a jack-of-all-trades and a budding entrepreneur, constantly involved in many money-making schemes, from selling flavoured health drinks (branded "Vitex") to trying to market solar power panels.

Pete died in a hit-and-run car accident on Jordan Road, on the way to a wedding on 7 November 1987, when Rose was less than a year old. Jackie had told Rose as a child that her father had died alone. (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"])
Timeline 2[[edit] | [edit source]]
Rose asked the Ninth Doctor to take her to 1987 to witness her father's death so that he wouldn't be alone. When faced with the reality, however, she couldn't do it and saw Pete die. She asked the Doctor if they could try again. On the second visit to the same time, Rose impulsively rushed forward and saved Pete from being run down, changing history and causing a temporal paradox that damaged time.

The death of Peter Tyler, known later to be a Temporal Event, was somewhat documented by UNIT, as they had a file, 1987/11-Be3a, on several reports filed on that day about "a cluster of [...] anomalies, sightings of flying beasts, [and] missing people".

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Coincidentally or otherwise, "Peter Tyler" was credited as "Lighting Cameraman" on the TARDIS Cam films which appeared on the early DVD releases.
- Also, a "Pete Tyler" is credited for "Motion Control Camera" on the More than 30 Years in the TARDIS documentary. This is accompanied by a confused look by Tom Baker as if he had noticed this in the footage shown throughout the titles.
- Rose calls Pete "a sort of Del Boy" in Father's Day, a reference to the popular British sitcom Only Fools and Horses and its dodgy dealing main character. Shaun Dingwall went on to play Del Boy's father Reg in the prequel series Rock and Chips.
- Simon Pegg was originally offered the role, but scheduling conflicts led to him playing The Editor in The Long Game.
