Cherilyn Dankworth was a civil servant who was hypnotised to assist the Unzal in their attack on the United Kingdom.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Cherilyn Dankworth was a British civil servant. As part of the Master's plan to test the Third Doctor and UNIT's ability to defend Earth, he hypnotised Dankworth to assist the Unzal in taking over the United Kingdom. She became the director of the Fulcrum which she used to condition the British Army ahead of the attack and was assisted by Harper, an Unzal using a chameleon shroud to disguise herself.

Some time after delivering a talk on the scientific approach to tactical assessment of military personnel which Liz Shaw attended, Dankworth was ordered to begin the incursion early due to the Third Doctor inadvertently activating Nicola Attah's conditioning with his sonic screwdriver. She had Liz captured so that her Hotspur Network could be used to cloak the Unzal fleet and the Doctor attempted to learn what Dankworth had to gain from the operation. Questioning herself caused her to break the conditioning and, once she became conscious again, she shot and killed Harper.

Dankworth suffered from amnesia and received treatment at a psychiatric hospital where she was visited several times by Liz. She kept a diary into which she repeatedly wrote, "You will obey me", hinting at the identity of the person who had hypnotised her. Although the Doctor deduced from her mental state that she had not simply been conditioned like the soldiers were at the Fulcrum, he did not know who was responsible.
