Biography
Jarvis Bennett was, by 2000, (TV: The Mind Robber; AUDIO: Prison in Space) 2079 (AUDIO: The Dying Light) or later, (PROSE: The Indestructible Man) the controller of the Wheel. He was angry when he first learnt of Bill Duggan's greenhouse in the power room, but Gemma Corwyn convinced him to let Duggan keep it for therapeutic reasons.

The Controller identified Silver Carrier when it first came to the Wheel's attention and was concerned of the risk it posed, paying no attention to Dr Corwyn until Jamie McCrimmon made his and the Second Doctor's presence aboard known. He believed that the two were Pull Back to Earth types after Jamie sabotaged the x-ray laser and confined Duggan to his rooms after a Cybermat killed Kemel Rudkin.

Jarvis was unhappy with the mysteries on his station. He didn't believe the Doctor's explanation that Cybermen were able to board the station and thought his crew was suffering from space sickness.

When the Cybermen invaded the station, Jarvis was killed when he tried to fight a Cyberman. (TV: The Wheel in Space)
