Biography
In the 1970s, Patsy was a policewoman under Sergeant Robert Lines in Smallmarshes. She brought the Third Doctor and Sergeant Lines some tea whilst they were talking. (PROSE: The Scales of Injustice)

By 1994, Patsy was the liaison between the Ministry and P.R.O.B.E., a job through which she met and became friendly with Dr Liz Shaw. In August, she visited the office at Ashley House to inform them of the difficulty she had in keeping the murders around Hawthorne from Scotland Yard, but she was convinced by Liz and Louise Bayliss to continue doing so to avoid P.R.O.B.E.'s total loss of funding. After Colin Dove's arrest, Patsy had him detained at Hawthorne per Liz's request. (HOMEVID: The Zero Imperative)

As the frequent bearer of bad news to Liz (such as when Rutherford removed the only other member of PROBE staff, Lou Bayliss, while Liz was mourning the death of her father), Patsy was occasionally required to be tough with Liz. Even so, she always made up with her quickly. Patsy sometimes visited Liz's house for drinks. Patsy had an earlier role in police surveillance. While she had no part in PROBE's investigations, she occasionally took part in police proceedings — such as when she questioned Gavin Purcell. She dealt with at least two ministers — the sympathetic "Sir Richard" and the cynical Brian Rutherford — before she became their successor. (HOMEVID: The Zero Imperative et al.)

By 2015, Patsy was in a relationship with Liz and the two were living together. (HOMEVID: When to Die)
