More actions
Lawrence Richmond, or according to one account, Lawrence Smythe, (PROSE: Instruments of Darkness) was a war buff with a special interest in codebreaking, some of which his ex-wife Evelyn Smythe picked up. (AUDIO: Project: Twilight) Evelyn divorced him after he protested against her attending an academic conference on their wedding anniversary. (AUDIO: The Marian Conspiracy) They were in the middle of their divorce in 1993. They had been married for 25 years before this. Evelyn expressed a level of regret for divorcing Lawrence, someone whom she still loved. (PROSE: Instruments of Darkness)
Behind the scenes
- Lawrence Richmond is mentioned by Evelyn as one "Lawrence Smythe" within Instruments of Darkness. While perhaps unusual, Instruments is well known for holding within it a large number of other contradictions to other sources, many among them regarding the ultimate fate of Evelyn as a companion of the Doctor. With this it can be assumed that the telling of events detailed within Instruments has a "Lawrence Smythe", if not so within the audio continuity.
