dewicking Cloning Blues


* CloningBlues: Chris gets a ''grand'' helping of this in the ''Franchise/FactionParadox'' range of stories, which sees him time-shredded into a massive army of Cwejen. They show up in the Big Finish ''Franchise/BerniceSummerfield'' range as well.


* SaltAndPepper: Roz is black, and is deeply cynical and ''usually'' the by-the-book type. Chris is white, and very enthusiastic and idealistic.

* ItIsPronouncedTropay: Chris notes that his name ''should'' be pronounced "Shvay", but he's been called Chris "Kwedge" so long he's accepted it rather than keep correcting people.

Dewicking per TRS decision.


* BiTheWay: Chris, who -- thanks to Creator/RussellTDavies writing for the range -- was one of the first major Doctor Who characters to get it on with someone of the same sex.

None


* AdaptationDyeJob: Being played by Travis Oliver (and having his image used in the cover art) means that Chris goes from blonde to brunette.



* TheBusCameBack: Courtesy of Big Finish. After starring in a couple of novel adaptations, Chris and Roz returned in The Seventh Doctor: The New Adventures box set in 2018, the first original stories featuring the characters in many years.



* DumbMuscle: Downplayed with Chris, who is fairly intelligent but not to the extent of Roz and a lot of the more complicated science he runs into tends to confuse him. Lampshaded in "The Jabari Countdown" where he poses as the Doctor's manservant among a group of elite mathematicians, claiming his main skill is "picking up heavy things".
