Isaac Douglas Summerfield, husband of Claire Summerfield and father of Bernice Summerfield, was an admiral in the Human Alliance's Spacefleet. He has blond hair, grey eyes, and is relatively short in stature.
Admiral Summerfield supposedly died in a space battle against the Daleks (NA: Love and War) on board his ship, the Tisiphone, in the mid-26th century. Summerfield had, in fact, survived; and, with the surviving members of the Tisiphone's crew, was stranded in the English village of Little Caldwell in the second half of the twentieth century. Here, he helped stranded aliens and temporal refugees like himself, and tried to stay out of the way of The Doctor, whom he feared. Bernice and the Doctor found him here in 1983. (NA: Return of the Living Dad)
Though he had made a home in 20th century England, at some point after the events of Return of the Living Dad, Admiral Summerfield returned or was returned to his native time. He was present at the naming ceremony of his grandson Peter Summerfield; a year or two later, he was manipulated into leading the Fifth Axis forces during their occupation of the Braxiatel Collection on the planetoid KS-159, but was later instrumental in the ultimate defeat of the Axis. His work done, he elected to return to Little Caldwell.
Unlike his daughter, Admiral Summerfield prefers coffee to tea.
