Thomas Milligan was a doctor who worked for the NHS in 2008. When the Master brought the Toclafane to Earth he became a fugitive. In 2009 during the Year That Never Was, he met Martha Jones when she returned to England and took her to see Professor Alison Docherty. When the Master tracked them down, he used his laser screwdriver to kill Thomas.

When the Master's Paradox Machine was destroyed, undoing the Year That Never Was, and reversing time back to 2008, Martha phoned doctor Thomas Milligan, and then hung up, reassured that in this timeline he was alive. (DW: Last of the Time Lords)

When Martha, now working for UNIT, joined Torchwood 3 temporarily as a medical officer, she mentioned to the flirtatious Owen that she had a serious boyfriend. (TW: Reset) In fact, she had a relationship with "Tom", suggesting that she had initiated a relationship with Thomas Milligan. (WEB: torchwood.org.uk)

Martha later got engaged to Tom who was now a pediatrician working in Africa. (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem), Martha, however, married Mickey Smith instead of Tom (DW: The End of Time)

Behind the Scenes
