Stew Ferguson (PROSE: The Star Beast [+]Gary Russell, adapted from The Star Beast (Russell T Davies), 60th Anniversary Novels (Target Books, 2023).) was a milkman.
In the late 2000s, he was going about his daily routine when the Earth was suddenly moved to the Medusa Cascade. Like everyone else on the planet, he reacted in alarm at seeing numerous planets in the sky, but his attention was soon drawn to Rose Tyler, who appeared in a flash. (TV: The Stolen Earth [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)
By November 2023, he worked as an overnight cleaner at the Millson Wagner Steelworks. As he passed Megabyte City on his way to work one evening, he saw the TARDIS in Blackcastle Passage and met the Fourteenth Doctor. He briefly mentioned his ex and his friend Billy.
