Penelope Creighton-Ward

Lady Penelope (PROSE: Titan Declares War!) Creighton-Ward (PROSE: The Dying Days), better known as simply Lady Penelope''', was a fashionable and adventurous 21st-century socialite.

A report from an anonymous source once suggested that one of Lady Penelope's undercover agents had been kidnapped by the mysterious underword figure Mr. Steelman after his car was forced off the road. (PROSE: Titan Declares War!)

By 1997, Lady Creighton-Ward lived not far from the Seventh Doctor's house on Allen Road. Consequently, Bernice Summerfield had often seen her being driven around the Kent countryside, and identified her readily when she was among the celebrities observing the Mars 97 mission at the National Space Museum.

Shortly after the release of Dr. Who and the Daleks (PROSE: Lady Penelope Investigates the stars of the Sensational new film Dr. Who and the Daleks!) in 2065, (PROSE: Peaceful Thals Ambushed!) Lady Penelope decided to investigate, and meet up with, the film's stars. She also tried to arrange for the Doctor himself to attend the gathering, but he was unavailable, with Penelope speculating that he was busy actually fighting the Daleks.

Behind the scenes
Lady Penelope is a major character in the Thunderbirds franchise and had her own comic strip in TV Century 21 running concurrently to The Daleks.

Within Thunderbirds, Lady Creighton-Ward was a woman in her 20s in the series' "present day" of the 2060s. She is used as such in the numerous minor crossovers between the DWU and Thunderbirds which occurred in the pages of TV Century 21. Consequently, her having a house on 1997 Earth in The Dying Days causes a minor continuity error.
