- You may be looking for Maxwell Stockbridge or his in-universe countepart.
Maxwell Edison was a middle-aged resident of Stockbridge, UFO enthusiast and ally of the Doctor in his fifth, eighth, tenth and twelfth incarnations.
Max was twice offered a chance to travel with the Doctor in his TARDIS. He refused both times, preferring instead to run the Stockbridge Division of the Bureau for Interplanetary Liaison, a group of people extending a welcoming hand to visiting aliens. He was, in essence, the Stockbridge "UFO chaser", viewed by his neighbours as a crackpot.

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Maxwell Edison's name, as well as serving as a reference to Maxwell Stockbridge, serves as a nod to the Beatles song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". This was referenced in-universe in the audio story The Eternal Summer, when Lizzie Corrigan pointed out the connection. He joked that he was lucky — he was originally going to be called Eleanor Rigby. This must have been a coincidence in-universe, as Max would have been thirteen years old by the time Abbey Road was released.
- He made his audio debut in Big Finish's The Eternal Summer, part of the "Stockbridge trilogy".
