A '''baker's man''' was a delivery driver who was approaching [[Devil's End]] when he encountered an earth tremor caused by [[Azal]] reducing in size and stopped his van, staggering away from the vehicle. Just as the tremor subsided, his van exploded. He attracted the attention of [[the Brigadier]] when he arrived in his staff car, warning him of the danger, and they realised a [[heat barrier]] was blocking the road, having sprung up in the same place as the van. The Brigadier and his driver left to try to find another way into the village, leaving the baker's man behind. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dæmons (TV story)|The Dæmons]]'')

== Behind the scenes ==
* In [[Barry Letts]]'s [[Doctor Who and the Dæmons (novelisation)|novelisation]] of the story, the baker's man is not left behind but given a lift by the Brigadier and his driver — who is named as Manders — in the staff car to Lob's Crick, so he can phone his "Guv'nor".
* The baker's man is described in the novelisation as being an "eighteen-year-old with spots and a brown overall" (quote, page 63) — quite unlike Gerald Taylor, who played the part on television and was thirty-one at the time.
