Luke Pendrell's father

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Mr Pendrell was Luke Pendrell's father. He and his wife did not take Luke home from Winterborne School for Christmas 1994, for which they apologised with a cheque and a hasty apology written on Claridge's note-paper.

The Pendrells again neglected to pick him up for Whitsun in 1995. Luke expected a similar apology, but instead received a surprise visit from his father. As Andrew Powell was unaware of this, he believed that Luke was missing and informed Gavin Purcell. (HOMEVID: The Devil of Winterborne)
