Dr Charles Lawrence was the director of the Wenley Moor nuclear research facility. He refused to cooperate with UNIT's investigations, as he felt their investigations were frivolous and unproductive in solving his power loss problem; he eventually called in his friend Masters in an effort to have UNIT removed. His disbelief in the existence of the Silurians and distress over the plant's apparent shut down eventually led to his death, as he refused to be inoculated against the Silurian virus, which he succumbed to. With the virus in its late stages, Lawrence, covered in lesions, stormed into the conference room where Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart had assumed a base of operations, demanding the removal of UNIT. The imminent shutdown of the research centre would mean the end of his career, though he had maintained his composure with a strong bitterness. With paranoia setting in that this was part of a conspiracy by his enemies to destroy his prospects, he blew up in the Brigadier's face and leapt over a table to throttle him. However, he was forced back by the Brigadier's associates. Lawrence did not get a second chance to attack. The virus took its final hold, and he clutched at his pained chest, then collapsed dead on the floor. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
He died at 4pm on 21 November. He had received a letter from the Apocalypse Clock which predicted the exact date and time of his death. (AUDIO: The Last Post)
