Biography

While one source suggested that the family lived and remained in Milton Keynes, (PROSE: Dalek) another suggested that the family moved to Manchester by the time Adam enrolled with GeoComTex. (PROSE: The Time Travellers' Almanac)

When Adam went to travel in the Doctor's TARDIS in 2012, she believed he was still working at Henry van Statten's museum.

After Adam had an implant in his head from the year 200,000 (which, at the click of fingers, would open a small circle on his head, exposing his brain) and tried to send information from the future to the past, the Ninth Doctor abandoned Adam back at his house in 2012. Sandra returned, saying time flies "just like that", clicking her fingers, then watching in horror as her son's head opened up. (TV: The Long Game)

Sandra died of a brain embolism shortly after Adam was returned to the 21st century. Adam blamed her death on the Doctor, who had erased the information that he had gathered from the future that could have saved her, and began planning an elaborate plot to get revenge on him. (COMIC: Mystery Date)

Behind the scenes

Judy Holt originated the role of Sandra Mitchell in Children's Ward, a series Russell T Davies did some his earliest work for.

• Actress Judy Holt previously played Sandra Mitchell in the British television show Children's Ward in the early 1990s while it was produced by Russell T Davies. Davies has elsewhere commented, "I think every show I've ever written fits into one big world."
