Carnell
His appearances in Kaldor City need to be added.
These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.
Carnell was a highly trained psychostrategist, who prided himself on his ability to predict all the variables on a given event, assuming he had all the information. He had only failed once, but it was a failure that had resulted in his exile from the Federation.
Carnell was consulted by Supreme Commander Servalan regarding a plan to send TARDISes acquired from Gallifrey for the purpose of observing ancient Earth, specifically the BBC. The time travel element meant, as he later recalled, that this conversation took place before his first (and unfortunate) meeting with her, and after he first met the Doctor for the second time (NOTVALID: The Steve Cole Personalised Novel)
Carnell was on the run for two years prior to establishing himself in Kaldor City. He kept the ship in which he landed on Kaldor hidden, should he need to flee from the planet.
Carnell was hired by the Board of the Company that ruled Kaldor City to eliminate the potential threat that Kiy Uvanov's plans could pose to their rule, but this plan was flawed from the beginning as, while he knew of the Sandminer incident, he had concluded that the Doctor and Leela were 'just' a group hallucination caused by the stress of the situation. As a result, he was unprepared for the Doctor and Leela arriving in Kaldor City as he tried to implement his strategy, forcing him to 'defect' from the families and share the truth of recent events with Uvanov so that his former target could use the information to undermine the ruling families and implement his own plans.

Behind the scenes
