Biography
In a time of austerity, he recognised that the cost of Paul Reynish's medication was draining the Ministry of Defence and arranged for his execution, with Patsy Haggard selecting P.R.o.B.e. to carry out the job. Reynish fled after meeting his brother Charlie, whom he was told was dead, and later took Williams' wife Josie hostage. She was saved thanks to Liz Shaw. (HOMEVID: When to Die)

Just under a month later, in June, as (PROSE: A Worthy Successor) Liz and Patsy (HOMEVID: When to Die) planned to retire by the end of the month, so the former wanted to appoint Giles's as P.R.O.B.E.'s new director, instead of someone chosen by the Defence Secretary who'd just choose someone intent on shutting P.R.O.B.E. down.
