Simmons was a the leading field researcher and technician in the employ of Henry van Statten in 2012.

Simmons tortured the Dalek (which van Statten had named the "Metaltron") while van Statten attempted to discover what it was. As a former ex-security chief, Simmons apparently enjoyed his job and appeared to be cold-blooded and sadistic.

After the Dalek used Rose Tyler's DNA to regenerate itself, Simmons confronted the creature, which raised its plunger-shaped manipulator arm threateningly. Ignorant of the mortal danger he was in, he arrogantly mocked it with the words, "Whatcha gonna do, sucker me to death?" In response, the Dalek did just that by clamping its sucker onto his face, with the pressure suffocating him and even crushing his skull. He screamed in pain and terror as he died. (TV: Dalek)

Behind the scenes
