Wilfred resided in an abandoned newspaper stand in London on Christmas Eve 2008 when he met the Doctor for the first time. At this point, Earth was aware of alien life and the threat they posed, and, given events surrounding the Sycorax (DW: The Christmas Invasion) and the Racnoss (DW: The Runaway Bride), believed that aliens might attack on Christmas. He claimed to the Doctor and Astrid to be the only person who has remained in London apart from Queen Elizabeth II (and her retinue in Buckingham Palace) as everyone else had fled into the countryside. He was angered when the Titanic hurtled over London. (DW: Voyage of the Damned)

An amateur astronomer, he pitched a tent in the house of his daughter's backyard in Chiswick spent most of his nights on top of a hill with a telescope watching out for aliens among the stars. Donna waved to him from the TARDIS while flying away with the Doctor. He was happy that Donna had found what she wanted. (DW: Partners in Crime)

Donna went to visit him and her mother after she had arrived on earth again. She told him about the Doctor but not her mother because she knew she would react badly. She told him about ATMOS and what they where doing when the Doctor turned up with a UNIT solder and opened the family car to investigate an ATMOS device in more detail. Wilfred was trapped in the car when it was triggered and began to sufficate (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem), later freed by his daughter Sylvia Noble. The next day he told Donna that he would keep her secret safe and not tell her mother. (DW: The Poison Sky)
