Biography

(PROSE: Black Orchid ^[+]Loading...["Black Orchid (novelisation)"]) He was sent to pick up Smutty Thomas's replacement for a cricket match from Cranleigh Halt on 11 June and assumed that the Fifth Doctor was the man he was waiting for.

Tanner was surprised by Nyssa's resemblance to Ann Talbot, (TV: Black Orchid ^[+]Loading...["Black Orchid (TV story)"]) but did not elaborate on his confusion out of politeness. (PROSE: Black Orchid ^[+]Loading...["Black Orchid (novelisation)"]) He proceeded to drive the Doctor, Nyssa, Adric and Tegan Jovanka to Cranleigh Cricket Club.
