David "Dave" Oswald was the widower of Ellie Oswald and the father of Clara Oswald.

Biography

He first met Ellie in 1981, after a leaf hit his face and she saved him from being run over by a car. They fell in love, married, and had a baby called Clara. They lived together until Ellie's death on 5 March 2005. He comforted Clara at the funeral. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten)

Years later, he spoke to the Eleventh Doctor on the telephone while Clara was sleeping. He was very cross with the British government. The Doctor wrote several pages of notes on that. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)

By Christmas 2013, he had remarried to Linda Oswald; along with her and his elderly mother, Dave attended a Christmas dinner cooked by his daughter- having previously briefed her by telephone and instructions sent by email, which proved so helpful that the Eleventh Doctor needed to use the Time Vortex to complete the cooking of the turkey.

He was somewhat unsettled when the Doctor, masquerading as Clara's boyfriend, arrived for lunch naked. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)

Personality

According to his daughter, his favourite James Bond movie was Live and Let Die. (COMIC: A Wing and a Prayer)
