Brixton

Brixton was a district in south London.

To the south-west of Brixton was Morden, roughly to the west was Richmond, to the north-east was New Cross and roughly east was Lewisham. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen [+]Gareth Roberts, The Sarah Jane Adventures series 1 (BBC One and CBBC, 2007).)

The Second Drax, a Time Lord, was caught committing crimes to procure replacement parts for his TARDIS and served a prison sentence in Brixton. During his stay Drax picked up Brixton's local "lingo" to survive. The resulting accent and idioms remained part of his speech patterns after he left Earth and resumed his travels. (TV: The Armageddon Factor [+]Bob Baker and Dave Martin, Doctor Who season 16 (BBC1, 1979).)

The home of Eleanor Naismith was located in Brixton. (AUDIO: The Man at the End of the Garden [+]Matthew Sweet, Jago & Litefoot: Series Three (Jago & Litefoot, Big Finish Productions, 2011).)

When the Master was resurrected by Esterath, he awoke in the body of a vagrant in 2001 Brixton. (COMIC: The Glorious Dead [+]Scott Gray, DWM Comics (Panini Comics, 2000).)

In the 2000s, the London branch of Coldfire Construction, which was secretly operated by the Slitheen, built a technology block in a Brixton school, using it as a transducer to absorb energy from the Sun and destroy the Earth so they could sell it off. After Sarah Jane Smith foiled the Slitheen at Park Vale Comprehensive School Ealing, she called UNIT so they would clear up the Coldfire sites across the world. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen [+]Gareth Roberts, The Sarah Jane Adventures series 1 (BBC One and CBBC, 2007).)

When Donna Noble went through a Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis, "Brixton" was one of the words she muttered. (TV: Journey's End [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)

It was the destination of the number 200 bus, which ended up on San Helios. (TV: Planet of the Dead [+]Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts, Doctor Who Easter Special 2009 (BBC One, 2009).)

The Eleventh Doctor claimed to have briefly worked as a physician there, in a small medical office. (HOMEVID: Good Night [+]Steven Moffat, 2011.)
