In his investigation of reports of a series of ''agent provocateurs'' known as "[[the Doctor]]" who had been involved in numerous unusual incidents, the journalist [[James Stevens]] interviewed Samantha about the Gatwick Incident. She described the Doctor as "a short man with a mournful face and dishevelled clothing." She also noted that he had a "blurred" English accent which defied description and seemed to be extremely knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects. Stevens dubbed him "the Gatwick Doctor" due to his involvement in the investigation of holiday fraud. Furthermore, Samantha told Stevens that the Doctor was accompanied by "[[Jamie McCrimmon|a young Scots lad in a kilt, called 'Jamie']]." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'')
