Calder (Resurrection of the Daleks)

Sergeant Calder was a non-commissioned officer in the British Army.

He served in the bomb disposal squad under Colonel Archer. They were sent with Professor Laird to investigate a threat in the London docklands — namely strange canisters discovered by builders in a warehouse. This turned out to be samples of the Movellan virus sent by the Daleks to 1984 Earth for safekeeping.

Calder was killed by the Daleks and replaced by a Dalek duplicate, which was killed fighting Daleks loyal to Davros. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)
