== Biography ==
When the Doctor first arrived on the Moonbase, they were in the middle of a crisis. Hobson was suspicious of the Doctor at first, and his suspicions grew when he realised their problems started around the same time the Doctor and [[companion|his friends]] arrived. He threatened to throw the Doctor and his friends off the Moonbase, even though he had given the Doctor a day to find the cause of the infection on the Moonbase.

He changed his attitude towards the Doctor when the Doctor discovered that the virus was caused by the [[sugar]] on the Moonbase. After this, Hobson trusted the Doctor and listened to his suggestions. He wanted to shut down the [[Gravitron]] when it wasn't working, but [[International Space Command|Space Control]] wouldn't let him. When the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] shot a hole in the Moonbase, he helped plug the hole to keep the [[oxygen]] from rushing out. He helped the Doctor realign the Gravitron to send the Cybermen floating away. In the aftermath, he and his men had a lot of cleaning up to do. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Moonbase (TV story)|The Moonbase]]'')
