The Putney gang was a group of teenagers based in Putney Common in the 1980s. They all wore flight jackets embroidered with their nicknames. Its members included King, Queen, Jack, Joker, and Ace.
Ace joined the gang to spite her friend Midge. They invited Ace to meet Liam O'erspace at the Time In A Bottle because he claimed to be from another planet. Ace went to the pub but left without meeting the gang because she was "chicken". She quit the gang and rejoined her friends in Perivale.
During her travels, the Seventh Doctor brought Ace to the pub to confront her past with the gang. Ace got into a fight with Queen when she learned Joker died from drugs and "absent friends". Ace knew all other members would later die of "terrible random things". (PROSE: Teenage Kicks)
