Francine Jones

Francine Jones was the ex-wife of Clive Jones, the mother of Tish Jones, Martha Jones, and Leo Jones, the grandmother of Keisha Jones, and the aunt of the late Adeola Oshodi.

Before Harold Saxon
Before Francine attended her son's 21st birthday, she was engaged in a dispute with her ex-husband because he was bringing his younger girlfriend Annalise. Soon afterwards, she learned that Martha and the Royal Hope Hospital had been transported to the Moon. At the party, She was seen to stick up for her duaghter when Annalise made a comment, suggesting that Martha had lied about going to the moon. This progressed into a heated argument which exasperated Martha, perhaps encouraging her to seek an escape with the Doctor. (DW: Smith and Jones)

During The Year That Never Was
She later phoned Martha to tell her that Tish had appeared on the news because she was an assistant to Richard Lazarus. (DW: The Lazarus Experiment) She attended the launch of his de-aging device with her son Leo, and enountered the Doctor, who, unknown to her, had been travelling the universe with her daughter (DW: The Shakespeare Code) (DW: Gridlock) (DW: Daleks in Manhattan). She was initially suspicious as to the Doctor's nature because of his social awkwardness and this suspicion was exacerbated as she was approached by a Mysterious Man, who told her that the Doctor was a highly dangerous individual. This led to Francine slapping the Doctor and telling him to stay away from Martha. After the Doctor stopped Lazarus and left with Martha, Francine left a message for her, telling her that the Doctor is bad news and is dangerous, as Harold Saxon had told her the news. (DW: The Lazarus Experiment)

Martha was given a superphone by the Doctor and was thus able to phone Francine from the Deck of the SS Pentallian for help with the quiz question doors. With the aid of her laptop, Francine was able to assist Martha by telling her that Elvis had more number one singles than the Beatles, thus helping her and Riley with their mission, although Francine believed Martha to be in a pub quiz. Martha later phoned Francine when her life was in danger, to tell her that she loved her, unaware that the phones were being bugged by Miss Dexter, a woman who worked for Harold Saxon. As Francine tried to extract more information about Martha's whereabouts, her daughter hung up, leaving a worried Francine in the dark (DW: 42)

Harold Saxon, who was actually The Master, had Miss Dexter use Francine to call Martha, in an attempt to lure her into a trap. When the plan failed, Francine was betrayed by Miss Dexter and kidnapped along with the rest of her family. Francine, Clive and Tish were taken to the Valiant where, after taunting the Jones', the Master released the Toclafane and sent them to decimate the Earth. Francine realised how dreadful a mistake she had made and tearfully apologised to Martha, who then vanished completely from the deck, leaving her family confused and alone. (DW: The Sound of Drums)

Francine and her family were held on the Valiant as servants and hostages, while the Master continued to obsess over capturing and executing Martha. Francine and Tish were humiliated by dressing up as maids, and were restrained by chains at night. She saw "half the world decimated", including the burning of Japan, and this naturally left her quite traumatised. During that year aboard the Valiant, Francine--along with Jack Harkness, The Doctor, Clive and Leo--staged a failed rebellion against the Master and she was mercilessly tortured into an apology. When the Master's plans unraveled and the Doctor restored, along with time itself, Francine attempted to kill him, but was talked out of it by the Doctor, who appealing to her better character. She was one of the only few who remembered the Master and had knowledge of alien life. She was later seen in the window of her home when Martha decided to leave the Doctor, silently acknowledging him with a small nod of her head.(DW: Last of the Time Lords)

Aftermath
She was asked about by The Doctor when he met Martha again during the Sontaran crisis to which Martha replied "Well and recovering" from her year on the Valiant. (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem)

War in the Medusa Cascade
When the Daleks attacked Earth and moved the planet to the Medusa Cascade, Francine was at home, alone. Martha, using Project Indigo, teleported to the house. Francine's laptop then picked up a transmission from Harriet Jones, who informed Martha, among others, of the plan to bring the Doctor to Earth. After successfully making contact with the Doctor, Martha planned to teleport to Germany, in order to activate the Osterhagen Key, despite Francine begging her not go; When she could not stop her daughter, she questioned what the key would do, to which Martha replied "I love you", before teleporting away. When Earth was moved back into the Sol System, Francine was overjoyed, going outside and enjoying the sunlight.(DW: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End)
