Granville Doyle

Dr Granville Doyle was a science communicator from the 20th century, working for NDC TV. He presented his own show, Foresight, a series of explorations of the potential of the future.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
Doyle was of average height and had a normal, short dark hairstyle for the time. He wore glasses at all times and dressed smartly to present his show, in a blue suit with a purple tie.
=== Personality ===
Doyle was canny, having an up-to-date (at the time) understanding of science in general, and a limited knowledge of current affairs. He hoped to educate the public through his programme, without scaring them with the realities of the Cold War. However, his sense of irony made him insert subtle warnings about nuclear weapons into his scripts.
=== Abilities ===
Doyle spoke with a loud, clear voice and was an expert at explaining complex ideas for anyone to understand.
== History ==
In Colkiverse ND's version of 1972, Doyle presented one documentary, The End of the Future?, in which he explained the threat of nuclear annihilation. At the end of the programme, he rushed off, seemingly knowing a nuclear attack was imminent. After printing off some of the current, evil president's propaganda, knowing people in the future would need to know the obvious truth about who called the attack, he stood in the doorway of his personal nuclear bunker as the bombs dropped.
== Trivia ==
* Doyle is based on the type of presenters on the original series of Horizon on the BBC, back in the sixties. His performance aims to emulate their style.
* The live-action addition of Dr Doyle to the film Foresight: The End of the Future was a very late decision by the director, choosing to add a stylish, period framing device to the otherwise entirely post-apocalyptic story.
