Elton Pope

Elton Pope was a Human from England on Earth, he was a fan of Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra.

He encountered the Doctor several times, first of all when he was 3-4 years old, as he was awoken by the sound of the Doctor's TARDIS materialising. He went downstairs to find his mother dead in the corner of his lounge and the Doctor standing in the middle of the room, explaining that his mother had been killed. He later explained to Elton that she was killed by an Elemental Shade which had escaped from the Howling Halls.

After the series of alien invasions and other similar events leading up to 2007, he co-founded a group named LINDA with four others who were intrested with the Doctor. He also began recording a video diary in which he recalled his life up to this point and his subsequently LINDA-related adventures. He was the only one of the group to survive intact from the Abzorbaloff's infiltration from March to April 2007. The only other survivor, Ursula Blake, was transformed into a slab of concrete and Elton became her caregiver, with the two subsequently engaging in an unusual relationship. (DW: Love & Monsters)
