Alonso Frame

Alonso Frame was a midshipman on board the spaceship Titanic from the planet Sto. The trip aboard the Titantic was his first trip out, and he turned down the opportunity to have a drink with his fellow crew members when Captain Hardaker told them to go and have one. He noticed the meteors heading toward the ship, and that the shields were down, meaning that they would destroy the ship. He asked Hardaker why they were down, and he was then shot by the Captain. But he survived. The meteors then smashed into the ship, killing the captain.

He also helped when the Doctor called him, Alonso helped prevent the spaceship from crashing into the Earth, by putting all power to the engines and shields, which kept it in space. He was then trapped in the bridge when the Heavenly Host turned against him, and tried to kill him, he put a deadlock seal on the door so he could not get out and no one could get in. He was freed when the Doctor took control of the host and smahed there way into the bridge.

After the Doctor defeated Max Capricorn, and met up with Alonso Frame again, and for the first time he could say "allons-y Alonso", as they tried to stop the Titanic crashing into London and Buckingham Palace. When they were back in the air, the Doctor and Mr Copper left the ship, leaving Alonso to deal with the aftermath of what had just happened. (DW: Voyage of the Damned)

Some time later, Alonso entered a nightclub for various alien species and approached the bar. He was surprised when Jack Harkness addressed him by his first name, and was led to believe that Harkness was psychic, when in fact the Doctor sent Jack a note with Alonso's name on as a hint, the two began to flirt as the Doctor departed.
