Markham was a country-man ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}}) who was working as a [[police]] [[sergeant]] under [[Robert Muir|Sir Robert Muir]] by the [[1920s]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}}) He had to deal with [[Cooper (Black Orchid)|Cooper]], a [[poacher]], several times.

=== The Cranleigh murders === | |||
On [[11 June]] [[1925]], Sir Robert summoned Sergeant Markham and [[Hathaway (Black Orchid)|Dr Hathaway]] to [[Cranleigh Hall]] following [[James (Black Orchid)|James]]'s [[murder]]. Markham was in [[Chiddleton]] dealing with [[Cooper (Black Orchid)|Cooper]] at the time and arrived late. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}}) He was tasked with taking the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka]] to the [[police station]] and stopped at [[Cranleigh Halt]] so the Doctor could show them [[the TARDIS]] and prove that he was a [[time traveller]]. | |||
The TARDIS had been confiscated, however, and the Doctor was unable to prove this until they reached the police station where [[Cummings (Black Orchid)|Constable Cummings]] presented it to Markham. After Sir Robert learnt of the discovery of [[Raymond Digby]]'s body, the Doctor flew him, Markham, Cummings and his [[companion]]s back to Cranleigh Hall. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}}) | |||
According to one account, Sergeant Markham attempted to stop [[George Cranleigh]] as he kidnapped Nyssa, believing she was [[Ann Talbot]], and called the [[fire brigade]] to deal with the [[fire]] George had started. This account also stated that he stopped Adric from joining the Doctor and Charles in following George, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}}) although another claimed that this was Sir Robert. Sergeant Markham witnessed George falling to his [[death]].
