Neil Hilton

Neil Hilton was a companion of the Seventh Doctor.

When he was a child he and his friends used an ouija board, during which one of his friends, Andrew, became so scared that he ran out of the building and was hit by a car, killing him. Decades later, Neil learns of a seance being held and decides to attend with several of his co-workers. The Seventh Doctor arrived at the seance and invited Neil to travel with him and Ace.

Neil travelled in the TARDIS for years, during which time the Doctor showed Neil his own death. Neil was supposed to die in a hit and run accident but the Doctor’s interference in his timeline had delayed the inevitable. Neil knew he would have to return to a point in time before he met the Doctor and make a choice whether to attend the seance or not. (PROSE: Séance, or Smoking is Highly Addictive, Don't Start)
