This article needs a big cleanup.

All the info added from DWM 483 needs to be sourced in the proper locations, or it will be removed. Right now, the article claims this extra info comes from The Web of Fear. Also, does his name originate from the Downtime novelisation or from DWM?

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

You may wish to consult Evan for other, similarly-named pages.

Driver Gwynfor Ivor Evans was a sapper in Royal Engineers Corp, 33 Regiment, trained in Military Engineering (Combat). His father always believed him a fool for entering military service. He took part in the fight against the Great Intelligence and its robot Yeti in the London Underground. Evans drove the ammunition truck to Holborn when 33 Regiment, and Colonel Lethbridge Stewart, was ambushed by Yeti. He was the sole survivor of the Yeti attack in Aldwych Station, and ran into the Underground tunnels where he got lost for a time, until finding the command centre in Goodge Street. Evans wanted to desert the Army, but the exit gate was locked. Evans always sang when scared. (TV: The Web of Fear, PROSE: The Ambush!)

Behind the scenes

  • Driver Evans' full name is revealed in the novelisation of Downtime.
  • His given name in full, Gwynfor (pronounced Gwin-vor), is revealed in the prose short story The Ambush in DWM #483, a prelude to the Lethbridge-Stewart novel series.
