Nicholas Skinner

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Professor Nicholas Skinner was an astronomer at the Tycho Project's radio telescope in the rural English village of Goblin's Copse.

He had a daughter, Lucy, whom he hoped would follow him into the field of astronomy, instead of being a chemist like her mother.

Professor Skinner was captured by Commander Kaagh, a Sontaran determined to avenge his people's defeat and forced to do Kaagh's bidding by a control implant. He was freed by the actions of Sarah Jane Smith and her friends. (SJA: The Last Sontaran)
