Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
After the the Seventh Doctor appeared to die during surgery on 30 December 1999, Pete and Ted admitted his body to the morgue and ushered it into a refrigeration unit. For the hospital's New Year's Eve fancy dress party, Ted had intended to wear a Wild Bill Hickok costume. Before he had a chance to do so, the newly regenerated Eighth Doctor stole the outfit from his locker. He went to the party anyway, in a corpse costume; which he used to scare Pete.

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Ted's name is an allusion to the time-travelling duo Bill & Ted. Though his working colleague doesn't share his name, Ted's costume choice of Wild Bill Hickok for the new Year's Eve party would constitute the other half of the reference.
