Biography
In 2010, the Shopkeeper who refused to state his age, told the Ealing Echo that there was an alien in his shop. When Sarah Jane Smith, Clyde Langer and Rani Chandra saw the paper, they arrived at The Shopkeeper's shop. He revealed that it was a ploy to get them here to send them through a time window to a different time period for each of them so they could find three special objects. Sarah Jane was sent to 1889, Clyde was sent to 7th June 1941 and Rani was sent to 19th May 1553. As he monitored their progress he became increasingly anxious, noting to his parrot "Captain" that if when the sand timer ran out they would be trapped in the past forever. (SJA: Lost in Time)
