Tommy Tomorrow

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Tommy Tomorrow was one half of the popular 1970s glam rock group the Tomorrow Twins. His sister Trisha Tomorrow was the other member. Tommy played the stylophone. (AUDIO: Horror of Glam Rock) He had a "soft, lilting accent" and "huge, brown, puppy dog eyes". (PROSE: Enter Wildthyme)

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

In July 1973, Tommy and Trisha had their first show to a live audience as the warm-up act at a Vince Cosmos concert at the Hammersmith Odeon. In one universe, the concert ended with Cosmos' retirement. In another, a Martian attack was foiled by Panda and Simon. Afterwards, Tommy invited Simon to a party occurring later that night at Arnold Korns' house. Simon declined this invitation but kissed him instead as Simon realised that Tommy was attracted to him.

In 1974, the Only Ones tried to use him as part of a plan to eat his teenage fans. He could sense the Only Ones. Lucie Miller heard him communicating with the Only Ones. They told him they were the only other lifeforms in space. (AUDIO: Horror of Glam Rock)

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

Some time before the events of Enter Wildthyme, likely during his time at University, Simon kept a poster of Tommy from Look-Out! in his sock drawer. (PROSE: Enter Wildthyme)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

A similarly named character, Tony Tomorrow, was mentioned in Paul Magrs' novel Twin Freaks. He was described as the boy wonder of Talent Parade who won the singing competition after receiving the audience's sympathy over his "huge head and no nose".
