7	->'''Voiced by:''' Trevor Baxter
8
9	The pathologist from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]", who following the adventure maintained a close friendship with Henry Gordon Jago.
10	----
11	* AlternateSelf: "The Flying Dutchman" has him and Jago encounter alternate versions of themselves where history turned out different and other countries became the dominant power in Europe and conquered England, leading to their alternate selves having different accents.
12	* AmbiguouslyGay: Very gently hinted that he might be gay, in addition to him being a strong advocate for equal social rights in regards to the love that dare not speak its name.
13	* ArbitrarySkepticism: While Litefoot acknowledges they've encountered some pretty impossible things, in "The Case of the Missing Gasogene" he's pretty dismissive of Jago's assumption that a murder was committed by a gas genie that lived within a stolen gasogene.
14	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: He and Jago become this in series 5, when the Sixth Doctor accidentally leaves them in 1968. While Litefoot adapts far more easily to the 20th century than Jago since he's better able to point out how society has improved after seven decades, he still misses his home era and desires to return.
15	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Jago, although Litefoot gets a brief and very sweet hint of being AmbiguouslyGay.
16	* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Litefoot is a polite, upper-middle-class professional gentleman, contrasted with Jago's slightly disreputable membership of the theatrical demi-monde.
17	* MilitaryBrat: His father was a military attaché in China in the 1860s, so George grew up in Beijing.
18	* RedOniBlueOni: The calm blue to Jago's boisterous and fearful red.
19	* ScienceHero: A man of science from the Victorian era. He's not bad with the supernatural either, such as the time that Ellie became a vampire.
20	* SherlockHomage: Between him and Jago, Litefoot is very clearly the Holmes equivalent being QuintessentialBritishGentleman and ScienceHero who prefers using deductive reasoning and is a friend to the police force. However when with the Doctor he falls back into his original role in "Talons" as TheWatson.

24	!!Henry Gordon Jago
25	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/henry_gordon_jago.jpg]]
26	->'''Voiced by:''' Christopher Benjamin
27
28	The impresario from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]", who following this adventure maintained a close friendship with Professor Litefoot.
29	----
30	* AlternateSelf: "The Flying Dutchman" has him and Litefoot encounter alternate versions of themselves where history turned out different and other countries became the dominant power in Europe and conquered England, leading to their alternate selves having different accents.
31	* CowardlyLion: He acts the Stout English Yeoman, but actually scares easily. Nonetheless he's capable of great bravery when roused, such as when his friends are in danger.
32	* DrowningMySorrows: There's nothing like a steak and kidney pie and a few pints of ale down the pub when he's feeling down, as he often does, being the kind to feel sorry for himself when life turns against him.
33	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: He and Litefoot become this in series 5, when the Sixth Doctor accidentally leaves them in 1968. While he will reluctantly admit that the 20th century has several advantages over the 19th, he misses his original era greatly and often complains about the many changes. Except when it comes to miniskirts, which he admits is a big improvement.
34	* LargeHam: One does not work in the theatre without being bombastic as can be.
35	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Litefoot (although as mentioned, in Litefoot's case, the "heterosexual" is open to interpretation).
36	* ManlyTears: Unlike Litefoot, who sees death every day, Jago does ''not'' cope well with people dying during their adventures, and often cries. Though it may be less "manly tears" than "inelegant blubbing".
37	* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Like Litefoot, Jago can be quite the gentleman, although perhaps a bit more brusque. Socially, though, he'd be considered somewhat less of a gentleman, being a theatre impresario of a slightly disreputable establishment. (He'd prefer if you didn't say "burlesque".)
38	* RedOniBlueOni: The expansive, boisterous red to George's calm blue.
39	* TheScully: Usually he's [[AgentMulder the Mulder]] to the more sceptical and scientific Litefoot, but when they go up against a sinister spiritual medium, he becomes the sceptic, since he's used to working with magicians and knows how all the tricks work. Of course, [[WrongGenreSavvy he's wrong]], and she ''really is'' talking to "[[OurGhostsAreDifferent spirits]]". This is played straight however in "The Devil's Diceman", where he's not fooled for a second by a group's attempt to scare him to death by tricking him into thinking the devil was after him.
40	* StableTimeLoop: While travelling with the Doctor, he ends up teaching the Venusians the tune of "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen", which explains how the Third Doctor would later call the tune a "Venusian lullaby".
41	* TheseHandsHaveKilled: After the first time he has to murder a sapient monster, he feels guilt-ridden.
42	* TheWatson: Between him and Litefoot, Jago fulfils this role since he often questions Litefoot about what is going on. However in his audios his more closely resembles the Watson from the books, as opposed to the films like in "Talons", since after several adventures he develops a more competent understanding of what he's dealing with.

50	A barmaid at the Red Tavern, Ellie becomes a close friend and ally to Litefoot and Jago who are regulars.
51	----
52	* TheAgeless: Series 5 reveals that while cured of the vampirism she was infected with in series 2, she no longer ages and looks exactly the same by 1968. [[spoiler:She is however seemingly cured of this by the end according to Litefoot.]]
53	* BreakoutCharacter: Was just a minor character in "The Mahogany Murderers", but returns in the main series and eventually becomes one of the main characters.
54	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: In series 5, which is set in 1968, she has live for over a century since she was born somewhere around 1865.

65	----
66	* {{Expy}}: Serves as an equivalent to Inspector Lestrade.
67	* FriendOnTheForce: Fulfils this role for Litefoot and Jago, though since Litefoot is a pathologist Quick often asks the professor for help.
68	* PunnyName: Jago points out that his name feels like this after he's promoted, with him, Litefoot and Ellie saying it sounds like a bad joke with the punchline being "inspect-her quick".
69	* RankUp: Is a mere Constable in "Talons", but by the start of the spin-off he's been promoted to Sergeant, and he gets another promotion to Inspector in Series 8.
