Inspector Lestrade was a detective of Scotland Yard. He came from the old school that was more concerned with making an arrest than amassing evidence.
Biography
In 1885, he unsuccessfully dragged a lake looking for Hatty Doran's body. Dr. John Watson's notes on the case were later written as a story by Arthur Conan Doyle and published in The Strand. In 1887, the Seventh Doctor saw him drinking in the Tank. (NA: All-Consuming Fire)
In 1897, he took credit for the apprehension of Professor Janus. (DWA: Bat Attack!)
Behind the scenes
