Priscilla P was a member of the Happiness Patrol on Terra Alpha.
Biography
Priscilla P joined the Happiness Patrol and became an experienced member working under Daisy K (PROSE: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (novelisation)"]) in Happiness Patrol B, hunting killjoys at night. (TV: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (TV story)"]) She did not get along with her colleague Susan L, however, as she disliked her hesitation to resort to violence. (PROSE: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (novelisation)"]) She enjoyed her work and did a good job, but she was assigned to waiting zone duty after five years, (TV: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (TV story)"]) which she considered demeaning for someone with her experience. (PROSE: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (novelisation)"])
Priscilla P guarded Harold V, the Seventh Doctor and Ace whilst they were in the waiting zone. She was amused by Harold V's death by electrocution and lost the Doctor and Ace when they disarmed the bomb in the waiting zone's go-kart and drove away, but Ace was soon recaptured and returned to her custody. After Susan Q was arrested and taken to be executed, Ace escaped again by overpowering Priscilla P whilst she was distracted by Wences. She later led Happiness Patrol B to Forum Square where they turned against Happiness Patrol F, whom the Doctor branded killjoys for not joining in the drones' merriment.
Once the Happiness Patrol and Helen A had been overthrown, Priscilla P and the rest of the patrol were made prisoners. (TV: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (TV story)"])
Personality
Helen A described Priscilla P as one of the most enthusiastic "happiness crusaders" (PROSE: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (novelisation)"]) and agreed with Daisy K that she was a fanatic. (TV: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (TV story)"]) She was quick to correct those who broke Terra Alpha's unspoken rules, such as avoiding referring to those in the waiting zone as prisoners, (PROSE: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (novelisation)"]) and considered herself to be a fighter with superior knowledge of the streets. (TV: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (TV story)"])
Appearance
Priscilla P was a frightening woman with a predator's ruthless and steely gaze. In her uniform and with her sweet tray, she reminded Ace of the usherettes at the Perivale Odeon. (PROSE: The Happiness Patrol [+]Loading...["The Happiness Patrol (novelisation)"])
