Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo was a French writer. (PROSE: Just War, COMIC: The Forgotten)

The Fourth Doctor once brought him to the Catacombs beneath Paris. The incident nearly gave Hugo a heart attack. Afterwards, he changed the entire plot of Les Misérables, which was originally going to be a comedy, at least according to the Tenth Doctor's memories of being the Fourth Doctor. (COMIC: The Forgotten) Victor Hugo wrote Les Misérables in Guernsey. The Doctor told him to change the title, but he wouldn't listen. (PROSE: Just War) The Fifth Doctor told Peri that he kept meaning to see the play version of Les Misérables, and always wondered what Hugo himself would have thought of it. (PROSE: Light at the End of the Tunnel)

A play based on Les Misérables was popular during the 21st century. (COMIC: Sticks & Stones)

After the Fifth Doctor and Peri saw the play, the Doctor commented that Hugo would have hated it. (PROSE: Black and White)
