Biography
Cliff was a brilliant Welsh scientist living at Wholeweal who investigated fungi. He was especially interested in their overlooked nutritional value so as a means to solve the problem of world hunger. Like the rest of the Wholeweal community, he opposed Global Chemicals and protested them at a public announcement by their director, Stevens. He first encountered Jo Grant in his laboratory, just as she accidentally ruined one of his experiments. Although blunt towards her at first, Cliff gradually began to fall in love with Jo. By the time Global Chemicals had been defeated, he asked her to marry him, to which she agreed, having also pulled some strings with her influential uncle to have the Huthatch provided with UN funding.

The two honeymooned in the Amazon, at the same time looking for obscure fungi. (DW: Planet of the Spiders)

In one account, they had had a son together, but by the 1990s they had been divorced. (EDA: Genocide).

By 2010, they were again married and had 7 children and, soon to be, 13 grandchildren. While Jo attended what she thought was the Doctor's funeral, Cliff was picketing an oil rig in the Ascension Islands. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)
