Robin Stuart

Robin Stuart was a friend of Colin Frazer, and was holidaying with him in Amsterdam in January 1983.

Unfortunately, Robin had somehow lost his passport and feared being deported.

Robin and Colin decided to spend a night in the abandoned Frankendael crypt, having arrived a day early, and found no room at the hostels. Colin was abducted by the Ergon and Robin escaped, later getting help from Colin's cousin Tegan Jovanka. They returned to the mansion only to be captured themselves, but were freed by the Fifth Doctor. (TV: Arc of Infinity)

Behind the scenes

 * It is never explained on-screen as to how Robin came to lose his passport, but according to Terrance Dicks's novelisation of the story it had been stolen in a crowded Amsterdam café a couple of nights before. This was not derived from any information given in the televised version.
