In 2007, Andrew Brown worked at Lexington International Bank. He was competing against Sameera Jenkins for a promotion. One day, Mr Symington and Mr Blenkinsop came to him and offered him a watch which would give him more time. At first Andrew was sceptical, but believed them when he was shown a demonstration. However, the time would have to be paid back with interest. Andrew ended up owing them 55,000 years. He helped the Doctor and his friends convince people that the watches were dangerous. They stopped people having to pay any more time. He eventually became friends with Sameera, who helped the Doctor and him. (PROSE: Borrowed Time [+]Naomi A.
