| '''Mr. Harold Saxon''' ([[DW]]: ''[[The Lazarus Experiment]]'') was a politician on [[Earth]]. He was active from at least [[April]] [[2007]] when he started campaigning for the general election ([[DW]]: ''[[Love & Monsters]]'') and was elected [[Prime Minister]] in [[2008]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'' / ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]''). He took his campaign seriously, placing posters on walls across [[Great Britain]]. ([[TW]]: ''[[Captain Jack Harkness (Torchwood story)|Captain Jack Harkness]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[Smith and Jones]]'')

| He claimed that [[alien|extraterrestrial life]] did exist, making him more popular in early [[2008]] after reports from the [[Royal Hope Hospital]] about the [[Judoon]] on [[the Moon]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Smith and Jones]]''). Earlier, he also ordered the destruction of the [[Racnoss]] ''[[Webstar]]'' on [[Christmas Eve]] [[2007]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'')

| ==Behind the Scenes==
| |
| "Mr. Saxon" was the arc word for the late part of [[Series 2 (Doctor Who)|series 2]] and all of [[Series 3 (Doctor Who)|series 3]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', just like "[[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]]" and "[[Bad Wolf meme|Bad Wolf]]" had been for the previous series The phrase also featured in [[Torchwood]] series 1, on campaign posters.

| | |
| It has been theorised that Mr. Saxon is actually the renegade [[the Master|Master]], hence the episode title "Last of the Time Lords" and why he is to be an enemy. This was confirmed in the DW episode Utopia, and the surprise introduction of The Master brings about the first three-parter since the revival.
| |
| | |
| The name "Mr. Saxon" might also refer to another Time Lord, other than the Master, that has not been seen since he was first introduced in Season 2's [[The Time Meddler]] and consequently seen in the following season's [[The Daleks' Master Plan]]. The [[Meddling Monk]] was concerned with a plot that involved both King Harold II and Saxon villagers. It may not be a coincidence that the character's full name is "Harold Saxon".
