Ernest Matthews

The Reverend Ernest Matthews traveled from Oxford to Gabriel Chase in Perivale to speak with Josiah Samuel Smith about the latter's "theories" concerning evolution, in which Matthews disbelieved. He had a fondness for bananas.

He quarreled with the Doctor (who he mistook for Smith). As a humorously ironic revenge Smith changed Matthews into an ape-like creature and put him on display. (DW: Ghost Light)
