Hippo Ibbotson

"Hippo" Ibbotson was Vislor Turlough's friend at Brendon Public School. In 1983, Turlough convinced him to aid in taking Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart's car for a joyride, then framed him for it. Turlough nicknamed him "Hippo." (TV: Mawdryn Undead)

Turlough spent half-term with Ibbotson and his family in Weston-super-Mare. (AUDIO: The Memory Bank) One wet Sunday afternoon, they watched a film about Zulu warriors. (PROSE: Deep Blue)

Huxley, a noveliser from Verbatim Six, reminded Turlough of Ibbotson. This led Turlough to refer to him as "Hippo" several times. (AUDIO: Ringpullworld)

Turlough later stated his best friend was Hippo. (AUDIO: Devil in the Mist)
