Biography
While assisting in experiments with the cyclotron, Roberts fell under the influence of the Silurians and refused to shut it down.

By one account, he attacked Phyllis Dawson when she tried shutting it down herself, but was knocked out by the Brigadier; (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians) by another account, he tried to strangle Liz Shaw and was killed when Major Barker hit him over the head with a revolver.
