Hugh Bainbridge

Hugh Bainbridge was the pseudonym used by Drusis when auditioning for the role of the Eighth Doctor's companion.
Drusis was a genetically engineered vampire, but posed as a human during his audition. He put on a bumbling, amiable public school boy personality so that the Doctor's expectations of him would be low and he would be more impressed with him later when he did something heroic. Given that he was a vampire, he could not enter the TARDIS without being invited. He planned to drink the Doctor's blood so as to obtain his genetic material, allowing him to operate the TARDIS. However, the Doctor had prepared for this by setting the TARDIS to land on Mercury. (AUDIO: Situation Vacant)
