Runcible
Runcible was a presenter of Public Register Video.
Biography
Runcible's pompous personality had earned him the sobriquet of "Runcible the Fatuous". He knew the Doctor well enough to recognise him even after three regenerations. Both had been pupils of Borusa, but Runcible could not recall the exact circumstances surrounding the Doctor's departure from Gallifrey.
Runcible tried to interview Borusa about Presidential Resignation Day, but the Cardinal insulted Runcible, telling him that he should have asked him questions at the Academy.
Runcible was asked to fetch the recordings of the Lord President's assassination. When he went to get them, he was stabbed in the back by either Goth or the Decayed Master. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)
Behind the scenes
