Angela Price (Rise of the Cybermen)
- You may be looking for the Lost in Time character with the same name.
Angela Price was a former 9-to-5 employee of Cybus Industries. She had unwittingly discovered a file on the mainframe that she wasn't supposed to read. "Men with guns" subsequently began knocking on her doors, and she subsequently spent a life on the run. She went under the nickname Mrs Moore when she joined the Preachers. (TV: The Age of Steel) She worked as their van driver (TV: Rise of the Cybermen) and "techie". (TV: The Age of Steel)
After going on the run, Angela's husband thought she had died. Angela thought it was the only way to keep him and their children safe.
In 2007, Angela and the Tenth Doctor entered Cybus' cyber-conversion factory inside Battersea Power Station via the cooling tunnels to stop the Cybermen. She threw an electromagnetic bomb at the Cyberman that was once Sally Phelan, and comforted Sally when she realsied the bomb disabled her emotional inhibitor. After the Doctor deactivated Sally's circuitry, Angela insisted to the Doctor that he had to find the cancellation code of every Cyberman's inhibitor "before they kill anyone else". A Cyberman then killed her. (TV: The Age of Steel)
The Doctor recalled her when Davros prompted him to remember all who had died in his name. (TV: Journey's End)
Behind the scenes
- Mrs. Moore says that she "got [her] name from a book."
- This could be a reference to Paula Moore, the pseudonym credited for writing Attack of the Cybermen, the incarnation seen by the Sixth Doctor.
- Alternatively, it might refer to the Mrs. Moore in A Passage to India by E. M. Forster. The Doctor's line, "Good tea, Mrs. Moore!" would seem to favour this reference.
