Ibbotson was a student at Brendon Public School in 1983, (TV: Mawdryn Undead) and Vislor Turlough's best friend. (AUDIO: Devil in the Mist) However, he nicknamed him "Hippo", and often used him as a scapegoat for mischievous acts he talked Ibbotson into. (TV: Mawdryn Undead)
Biography[]
Turlough spent a half-term with Ibbotson and his family in Weston-super-Mare. (AUDIO: The Memory Bank) One wet Sunday afternoon, they watched a film about Zulu warriors. (PROSE: Deep Blue)
Turlough convinced Ibbotson to aid in taking Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart's vintage car for a joyride, then framed him as being responsible for it, although Lethbridge-Stewart was not fooled and saw that Turlough was the real culprit. Ibottson was later summoned before Mr. Sellick, the headmaster, who told him that he would be writing to Ibbotson's parents. (TV: Mawdryn Undead)
Other references[]
Huxley, a novelist from Verbatim Six, reminded Turlough of Ibbotson. This led Turlough to refer to him as "Hippo" several times. (AUDIO: Ringpullworld)
