When pretending to be from the Department of Public Building and Works, Sir Toby was disparaging of the outgoing [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] Sir [[Alec Douglas-Home]], saying that they had been "trying to work out what Earl Home thinks so we can agree with him before he's said it". He admitted that referring to Douglas-Home as "Earl Home", a title that he had dropped by [[1964]], was a hard habit for him to break.

In [[November]] [[1963]], he met [[Rachel Jensen|Professor Rachel Jensen]] for the first time after he tricked her into investigating Sir [[Gideon Vale]] and the Starfire project. At the time, he was trying to keep Counter-Measures operational, a job made harder when the work it did could not be fully revealed. The Starfire Affair turned out to be a genocidal plot by [[The Light (1963: The Assassination Games)|alien infiltrators, the Light]], who had people in various key positions in the British government (and murdered Stephen Mulryne in front of him). Counter-Measures and the [[Seventh Doctor]] thwarted the plot and Sir Toby, while keeping out the alien nature, was able to use this to get the government to agree to re-establish Counter-Measures.

He made many deals to set up Counter-Measures and keep it going, and discouraged [[Ian Gilmore]] from seeking any more resources from the [[Ministry of Defence]]: he felt Counter-Measures (and himself) would look more credible if they could handle themselves. After their first post-Shoreditch mission, investigating [[Heinrich Shumman]]'s [[teleportation]] experiments, he agreed to put [[Rachel Jensen]] in charge rather than Gilmore. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Threshold (audio story)|Threshold]]'') Taking up Counter-Measures meant he lost his place in the nuclear war Citadel bunkers, a fact about which he was annoyed.
