Edwin Bracewell's mother

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

The human Edwin Bracewell had a mother.

The Bracewell family lived in Paisley, Scotland, and ran a post office. At some point, she and Bracewell's father both died of scarlet fever, which cause the young Bracewell great pain. (TV: Victory of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Victory of the Daleks (TV story)"])

As an android with his human counterpart's memories, Bracewell recalled his parents. In order to prevent the Oblivion Continuum within him from detonating, the Eleventh Doctor mentioned Bracewell's parents to him to remind him of his humanity.
