Francine Jones is the ex-wife of Clive Jones, the mother of Tish Jones, Martha Jones, and Leo Jones, the grandmother of Keisha Jones, and the aunt of the late Adeola Oshodi.

Just before Francine attended her son's 21st birthday, she fought with her ex-husband because he was bringing his girlfriend Annalise. Soon afterward, she learned that Martha and the Royal Hope Hospital had been transported to the Moon. At the party, Annalise made a comment about Martha going into the moon, starting another fight.

Mr Saxon

She later phoned Martha to tell her that Tish had appeared on the news because she was an assistant to Richard Lazarus. That night, Francine met the Doctor. She was soon after approached by a Mysterious Man, who told her that the Doctor was a highly dangerous individual. This led to Francine slapping the Doctor and telling him to stay away from Martha. After the Doctor stopped Lazarus and left with Martha, Francine left a message for her, telling her that the Doctor is bad news and is dangerous, as Harold Saxon had told her the news. (DW: The Lazarus Experiment)

Martha later phoned Francine, unaware that the phones were being bugged by Miss Dexter, a woman who worked for Harold Saxon. (DW: 42)

Harold Saxon, who was actually The Master, had Miss Dexter use Francine to call Martha, in an attempt to lure her into a trap. When the plan failed, Francine was betrayed by Miss Dexter and kidnapped along with the rest of her family. Francine, Clive and Tish were taken to the Valiant, where the Master released the Toclafane and sent them to decimate the Earth. (DW: The Sound of Drums)

Francine and her family were held on the Valiant as servants and hostages, while the Master continued to obsess over capturing and executing Martha. When the Master was stopped by Martha the Doctor, and time was reversed, Francine attempted to kill the Master, but was talked out of it by the Doctor, who reminded her that she was better than him and would not stoop to killing. She was one of the only few who remembered the Master and had knowledge of alien life. She was later seen in the window of her home when Martha decided to leave the Doctor, silently acknowledging him with a small nod of her head.(DW: Last of the Time Lords)

She was asked about by The Doctor when he met Martha again during the Sontaran crisis to which Martha replied "Well and recovering" from her year on the Valiant. (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem)

War in the Medusa Cascade

When the Daleks attacked Earth and moved the planet to the Medusa Cascade, Francine was at home, alone. Martha, using Project Indigo, teleported to the house. Francine's laptop then picked up a transmission from Harriet Jones, who informed Martha, among others, of the plan to bring the Doctor to Earth. After successfully making contact with the Doctor, Martha planned to teleport to Germany, in order to activate the Osterhagen Key, despite Francine begging her not go; When she could not stop her daughter, she questioned what the key would do, to which Martha replied "I love you", before teleporting away. When Earth was moved back into the Sol System, Francine was overjoyed, going outside and enjoying the sunlight.(DW: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End)
