Biography
In the aftermath of the 5 March 2005 incident, (PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters [+]Loading...["The Secret Lives of Monsters (short story)"]) a decaying Auton called the Half-Head Pierrot housed the remains of the Nestene Consciousness. The Consciousness, indignant after its defeat by a Time Lord and a human, swore a revenge "so subtle" it could take over "fifteen years" to complete; in the ruins of a government building, the Consciousness found a blonde man pinned under a concrete beam who had a substrata that the Consciousness knew yielded potential for its plan. The giggling Auton initiated the transformation by taking the hand of the man, and both the Auton and the human became nothing, a new entity being reborn from their scattered atoms. A perfect duplicate of the human, the Consciousness was extraordinarily pleased with its new suited body. The new and amused Auton thought to itself "This is going to be fun!"

Behind the scenes
Boris Johnson's likeness appears on a gigantic humanoid machine which chases the Eleventh Doctor and Alice Obiefune in the 2017 comic Remembrance [+]Loading...["Remembrance (comic story)"].

In the real world, Boris Johnson succeeded Theresa May as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom following her resignation in 2019. He served as Prime Minister from 2019 to 2022, resigning due to a widespread sense of dissatisfaction in his leadership following numerous controversies (including the Partygate scandal and refusing to punish an alleged groper in the Conservative Party).
After Boris Johnson announced the assembly of four new committees to coordinate various aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak that would report their work in daily meetings dubbed "C-19 meetings", some media outlets reported the reaction of Doctor Who fans who noted a similarity between that of the sinister Department C19.[1][2]

The short story Out of the Box [+]Loading...["Out of the Box (short story)"], which is set in 2019, later stated that "the P.M." was "a plastic duplicate".
He was played by Christian Brassington in the docudrama When Boris Met Dave, William Barton in Theresa vs. Boris: How May Became PM and the stage play The Last Temptation of Boris Johnson, Richard Goulding in Brexit: The Uncivil War, James Corden in a Saturday Night Live sketch, and voiced by Jon Culshaw in Headcases.
