Paterson (Survival)

Sergeant Paterson was a non-commissioned officer in the British Territorial Army.

In 1989, he spent Sundays at a youth centre in Perivale, teaching teenagers survival techniques. On Mondays, he taught physical fitness to older men. He was also active in the neighbourhood watch.

He encountered the Seventh Doctor and Ace when they came searching for the latter's old friends. He knew something of Ace's past, and disliked her both for her juvenile delinquency and for having never called her mother after her sudden departure (unaware that Ace could not have telephoned from the Iceworld).

Biography
Nothing is known of Sergeant Paterson's early life, although he had a mild Scottish accent.

Paterson followed the Doctor after receiving neighbourhood watch complaints of his antics (in attempting to lure a kitling), but while trying to apprehend him, they both were teleported to the Cheetah World.

He escaped from the world, being teleported back to Earth by Ace, but passed the experience off as a stress related hallucination when he returned to the youth club and his students. Unfortunately, they had been hypnotised by. Paterson was killed by his students who were goaded by a possessed Midge. (TV: Survival)
