Danny Simmons

Simmons was a technician in the employ of Henry van Statten.

Biography
Simmons tortured the Dalek (which van Statten had named the 'Metaltron') while van Statten attempted to discover what it was. He apparently enjoyed his job, and appeared to be cold and sadistic

After the Dalek used Rose Tyler's DNA to regenerate itself, Simmons confronted the creature. He arrogantly mocked it, ignorant of the mortal danger he was in. He finally realised what he had truly been "working" with when the Dalek clamped its "sucker" onto his face, suffocating him and apparently even crushing his skull. (DW: Dalek).

Behind the scenes

 * The character was named after Kai Simmons, the actor who played the corresponding role of Dalek torturer Lamb in Jubilee, the audio story that the television episode Dalek was based on.
 * In the online game The Last Dalek, which presents an alternate version of the events of Dalek, Simmons does not appear, but he has an entry in the Dalek's memory files. He is described as "Male subject. Age 30. American. Leading field researcher conducting experiments in Van Statten's laboratory. Heartless and sadistic. Must exterminate!"
