Thomas Milligan was a doctor who worked for the NHS in 2008.

Alternate timeline
When the Master brought the Toclafane to Earth, Tom became a fugitive. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) At the end of the Year That Never Was, he first met Martha on a beach when she returned to England under the cover of night and was already familiar with her worldwide fame.

Personality
In the Year That Never Was, Tom Milligan quickly took a liking to Martha Jones and proved to be very loyal to her. He even tried to attack the Master in an attempt to protect her, resulting in what would have been his death if time had not been reversed. Once the time line had been corrected, Martha sought him out. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) Although from his perspective he had never experienced the events of the Year That Never Was, he and Martha entered into a romantic relationship. They were also engaged at one point. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem) However, Martha later married Mickey Smith. (TV: The End of Time)
Although he was a doctor, Tom would not hesitate to deal with matters through force, and kept a gun with him during the Year That Never Was. He killed one of the Toclafane in disgust after it said that killing its ancestors was fun, and suggested using his gun to kill the Master, forcing Martha to explain that Time Lords couldn't be killed so easily. (TV: Last of the Time Lords)
