Sigma

**Sigma** is a character appearing in Beyond The Sea. She is portrayed by Siân Davis.

## History

Sigma, along with Kappa, Epsilon, and Theta, was part of a cult that believed the replicas created to allow astronauts on missions to spend time with their families were unnatural. As such, they came to the home of David Ross and waited for him and his family to be asleep before breaking into his house. David heard the noise they were making and threatened them with a bat to get them to leave, but they were able to overpower him and pin him down. Kappa cut off his replica's arm, calling it unnatural. Then Kappa sent Theta to get David's family and hit David in the head.

They tied David and his family up. Jessica begged for her children's lives, saying they were real and David was the only replica. Kappa said that didn't matter because she was still allowing it to happen in her home. They bludgeoned Jessica, Lily, and Ricky to death and then poured gas on David's replica and lit it on fire.

Once the crimes were completed, they went to the station and gave themselves up to be arrested.

## Relationships

She is in a cult with Kappa, Epsilon, and Theta. They believed the replicas were unnatural.

She tells Christopher Gillhaney that she can only guess three times a day, as the account locks for 24 hours after the third incorrect password is entered. She mentions that due to the company's strict privacy policy they refuse to give her access despite being Kirstin's mother, but she does not want to memorialise her daughters profile as such action would delete the accounts inbox.

Later in the day, Simon called Mia and said all the kids were in their costumes. He asked her to make sure she got there in time for the show. She promised she would.

She later went on to study history at Trinity College, Cambridge where she met her fiancé Nat Wallace-Dean, and was a known supporter of environmental causes. Her public popularity is reiterated by Jane Callow, who described her as "the Princess" and an "eco-conscious national sweetheart".

Given that she is able to use the title of Princess, this indicates she is either the child or grandchild of the reigning British monarch.

Her title is implied to be derived from the village and civil parish of Beaumont, Cumbria.

Whilst returning from a close friends wedding, Susannah is kidnapped by performance artist Carlton Bloom, who uses a blowgun and darts containing heavy tranquiliser to incapacitate her two Protection Command bodyguards. He holds her hostage and threatens to kill her live on air unless UK Prime Minister Michael Callow engages in sexual intercourse with a pig on live television.

Despite numerous attempts by the government and Home Secretary Alex Cairns to rescue her, Callow is eventually forced to carry out the act to save her due to public opinion. However, afterwards it is revealed Susannah was released before Callow commenced the action.

**Ricky Ross** is a character appearing in Beyond The Sea. He is portrayed by Charlie Fidelski.

## History

Ricky's father, David, was an astronaut two years into a six-year space mission. He was able to spend most of his time at home anyway due to a lifelike replica of his body into which he could project his consciousness except for the times he was needed on the space station. David often got attention while they were out because of this program, as people were awed by how lifelike his replica was.

One night, after a family outing to celebrate Ricky's birthday, the family was sleeping when four members of a cult broke into their house, tied them all up, and killed Ricky, Lily, and Jessica, then doused David's replica in gasoline and lit it on fire to destroy it.

Suzie

**Suzie** is a character appearing in Demon 79. She is portrayed by Emily Fairn.

## History

Suzie was working when Jean Simons reported her husband, Tim, missing. She said the dog had come back after a walk without Tim. Suzie told Len Fisher what Jean had said and they went to the Simons house to talk to her. She gave them a picture of Tim and told them that Tim wasn't one to stay out, which was why she was worried. The next day, they found Tim's body in the river. He had a head wound that indicated that someone had hit him on the head.

Suzie and Len then investigated the deaths of Keith and Chris Holligan, who were killed in their home. As part of this investigation, they went to the bar Keith went to the night before and learned that Nida Huq had also been there, which was unusual. The barmaid, Julie, told them that Nida had been talking to herself and worked at Possetts.

Len tracked Nida to her house and then followed her when she left. After she ran Michael Smart off the road, he stopped her from killing him. He and Suzie then questioned Nida, who told them she had to kill three people before midnight or the world would end. They were doubtful as she had no proof. The talisman she claimed was marking the kills was an ordinary domino. As midnight passed, Suzie told Len she actually felt a bit sad for Nida as she seemed like she was sick. Then they heard a noise in the distance and went to a window, where they watched several bombs be dropped, which started fires that engulfed the world, including them.

Reputelligent

**Reputelligent** (a portmanteau of "reputation" and "intelligent") is a consulting firm for users of the unnamed social media platform featured in the episode Nosedive. The company's consultants analyse clients' social media activity and recommend ways to improve their rankings. It is unclear whether Reputelligent owns the social media platform or just consults users as a third party.

## History

### Nosedive

Lacie Pound meets with Reputelligent consultant Hansen Davis to improve her score in order to get a discount on her rent for her Pelican Cove apartment. Davis tells Pound that she will likely reach her target 4.5 score in 18 months just by doing what she has already been doing; however Pound tells him that she will need to reach a higher score more quickly. Davis informs Pound that she needs more "high-quality" people in her inner circle in order to boost her score.

### Hated in the Nation

A news ticker feature Reputelligent under a TV news item reads "Reputelligent shares nosedive".
Tipley

**Tipley** is political constituency and suburban area of Greater Manchester in North West England.

## History

The area is said to be located close to Cheetham. Historically a white, working class area of the city, by the late 1970's the area sees diversification of its community, mainly with immigrants from India and Africa.

Tipley is the subject of a documentary, mentioned in the Bafta ceremony in Loch Henry. Specifically, the documentary mentions a "pedophile ring."

### Demon 79

Nida Huq, a young British woman of Indian descent, lives in Tipley and works in the local department store Possetts. A Conservative Party candidate, Michael Smart, is running in the local election to become the area's Member of Parliament (MP), competing against the more vocally right wing National Front despite secretly harbouring the same beliefs.

## Notes and Trivia

* Tipley is an entirely fictional area and political constituency created for the show, much like Stentonford & Hersham which appears in *The Waldo Moment*.
* When Len is told there is a missing person, he asks, "Boy or girl?" as if he is expecting a child to have gone missing. This is potentially linked to the pedophile ring that is appears in the documentary in Loch Henry.
* The first person Nida Huq sacrifices is portrayed to be sexually assaulting his daughter. It is not made clear if this is part of the larger pedophile ring.
Shou Saito

**Shou Saito** is a supporting character in Playtest. He is portrayed by Ken Yamamura.

## History

Saito first appears in the episode Playtest (S3E2), where he is introduced as the head of a tech company, SaitoGemo, that specializes in horror video games. He convinces Cooper, a tourist, to participate in a test for a new VR technology. He and his assistant, Katie, set Cooper up for the test. Later, he and Katie appear to Cooper to warn him that the VR technology has failed and cannot be shut off. Eventually, when the experiment is "over", Saito apologizes for scaring Cooper so badly and removes the VR implant. Saito is seen one more time at the end of the episode, standing with Katie as she records the events that led to Cooper's death.

## History

Parker was conceived when his parents, Carrie and Jack had sex at a Halloween party. They stayed together and Parker was born approximately nine months later. When he was under a year old, his parents took him to a park. They stopped so Carrie could take a picture of Jack and Parker, but when she backed up to get them in the frame, she was hit by a truck. She spent the next four years in a coma, at which point, through technological advances, her consciousness was uploaded into Jack's body, allowing her to talk to Jack, unseen and not heard by anyone else, including Parker. She was also able to feel what Jack was feeling, like Parker hugging him. When Jack became frustrated by the lack of privacy, he started pausing Carrie during the week. Then he had her consciousness transferred into a stuffed monkey for Parker. Parker played with the monkey for a while, but then grew bored of it and left it behind.

William Grange

**William Grange** is a character appearing in Crocodile. He is portrayed by Brian Pettifer.

## History

William had finished with a patient when he noticed a very fit nude man in the window of the hotel across the way. He pulled out his camera to take a picture, but had the flash on, so he only got a reflection. He was going to take another one, but he noticed a commotion down on the street and saw that a self-driving pizza delivery van had hit a pedestrian. The next day, Shazia Akhand, who was investigating the accident for the insurance company, came to question him about what he'd seen. When she went to hook up the recaller, he admitted that his memory was kind of embarrassing. She promised him she wasn't concerned with anything except the accident unless he was hurting himself or someone else. He allowed her to use the recaller to get the memory. He hadn't seen anything, but he saw a woman in a hotel room across the way who might have. As she packed up her things, Shazia promised that him taking the picture wouldn't be in her report.
TCKR Systems

**TCKR Systems** is a neural research and technology company. It is featured primarily in the episodes San Junipero, Black Museum, and Striking Vipers.

## History

The company specialises in neural technology, of which various different types are shown throughout the episodes it is featured in. It appears to be based in the United States, with a section of its research division operating out of St. Junipers Hospital in New York City.

### Playtest

TCKR Systems is briefly featured in the episode, with an article preview on the cover of Edge magazine stating how the company plans to turn "nostalgia into a game".

### San Junipero

The company is responsible for the creation of the simulated reality universe of San Junipero, where dead or dying people can "pass over" and have their consciousness stored in the fictional reality and live for eternity. It is also used as a form of nostalgia therapy for the elderly, however due to the addictive nature of the system they are restricted to five hours per week. TCKR is apparently referenced in the name of the bar in San Junipero - Tuckers. Both feature a palm tree in their logos.

### Metalhead

The logo of TCKR is seen briefly on the van driven by Bella and her friends.

### Black Museum

The company is explored in considerably more depth in the episode, which gives primary focus to when Rolo Haynes worked in their marketing department. In the earlier days, the company operated one of their research and development divisions from the tenth floor of St. Junipers Hospital in New York City. In exchange for the hospital treating patients who did not have insurance, they had to consent to experimental medical procedures pioneered by TCKR.

One of the first products created by TCKR was the Symphatic Diagnoser, which could be used in conjunction with a neural implant to enable the user to feel others pain without inflicting any physical damage upon themselves. This was used in a medical capacity by Dr. Peter Dawson to enable him to correctly diagnose patients illnesses, and even discover ones that neither he nor they would have been aware of otherwise. However, when the system malfunctioned and caused Dawson to feel pleasure when others felt pain, it resulted in him becoming addicted to the pain of others and committing several murders to satisfy his addiction.

### Striking Vipers

The virtual reality element for the video game *Striking Vipers X* is manufactured by TCKR Systems, and is used by Daniel Parker and Karl throughout the episode.

### Joan is Awful

TCKR is displayed as a mobile phone carrier in the top-right corner of a character's phone screen and also on the back of the newspaper in Salma Hayek's hands
Noni Harper-Brown

## History

Noni was walking down the street when she saw the aftermath of a self-driving pizza delivery van having hit Gordy. The next day, Shazia Akhand, who was investigating the accident for the insurance company, found Noni and used a memory recaller to get footage of what she'd seen. Since she hadn't seen the accident, Shazia continued her search, but Noni recalled that there was a dentist's office and a light reflected on a windshield had come from that direction, giving Shazia a lead on where to look next.

## Notes and Trivia

* She was 29 at the time of the accident.
Planet: Utilisol

Scouted by Jill St. Joss, planet Utilisol of Utilisol system was intended for resale. Jill went with a scientific, if generic name, knowing it would be renamed by the eventual colonists anyway. The key feature of this planet is the mineral rich crust of the central continents, though it also has vast tropical green spaces covered with simple proto-mosses, oceans filled with algae, and frozen polar caps. See below, the iconic holophoto of "Red Rockpile," an iron rich mountain, named by Jill's security drone, itself named Frisbee. This entire resource-rich region of the planet lays ready for mining and manufacturing operations. Indeed, the entire barren planet suggests settlers can move in and immediately terraform it to suit their needs.

Other planets in the system include a lush vegetation rich world close to the star with a long growing season, an ocean world ready for aquafarming or water collection, a frozen world of ice, and a medium-rated asteroid belt. Thus "Utilisol" system has something for every eventual need for the future of the colony. Despite the dry humor of her literalist naming scheme, Ms. Joss earned a record price, selling this system brief on the black market, brokered through TCON.

Nish Leigh

**Nish Leigh** is the protagonist of Black Museum. She is portrayed by Letitia Wright.

## History

Nish was driving alone in the mountains when she stopped to charge her car. After setting up to charge, she went to the nearby Black Museum. It wasn't open for the day yet, so she waited. She was greeted by Rolo Haynes, the owner of the museum, who offered her a tour. He showed her that inside were artifacts of crimes and offered to tell her about them before showing her the main attraction of the museum. He first told her the story of Dr. Peter Dawson, who ended up in a coma after using a device that led to him feeling other people's pain as pleasure. Then he told her about Carrie Lamasse, whose consciousness was implanted into her husband's brain after she was in an accident, and then was implanted into a stuffed monkey, where it remained, as deleting her was illegal.

Finally, he led her through a curtain to see the main attraction, Clayton Leigh, unaware that Clayton was Nish's father. Rolo had purchased the rights to Clayton's execution before he was executed and used that to created a hologram of Clayton which he allowed visitors to execute over and over again. When Nish's mother, Angelica, led protests that reduced the number of visitors the museum got, Clayton began catering to perverts and the very wealthy until he eventually let a man pay to electrocute Clayton for 14 seconds, much longer than the maximum 10 second others were allowed. This left Clayton unable to speak or function, which meant no one really wanted to see him anymore. As Rolo was showing Nish the exhibit, he started to choke and she revealed that the water she'd given him was poisoned. She explained who she was and how her mother took a bottle of pills with a bottle of vodka after visiting his museum and seeing what had become of Clayton. Then she transferred Rolo's consciousness into the hologram of Clayton and electrocuted him beyond the limit, destroying the hologram and Rolo's consciousness and leaving Nish a souvenir keychain of Rolo eternally suffering. Then she took the monkey containing Carrie's consciousness and left, setting the building on fire through the AC as she went.

She got into her car and asked her mother, whose consciousness was in Nish's head, how she did. Angelica told her she did great.

## Relationships

She grew up without her father after he was executed. Later, her mother took a bottle of pills with a bottle of vodka, but Nish was able to save her consciousness and implant it into her own head, allowing her mother to live inside her body with her.

Kenneth McCardle was called in to investigate their disappearance, but couldn't find them. It was a big story until Princess Diana died and the media moved on to that. The case remained unsolved until Iain Adair was drinking one night at The Lochside Inn and made comments about Dawn. Richard King, the owner, tried to kick him out, but he threatened to come back and shoot the place up, so Richard asked Kenneth to check on Iain. When Kenneth went to Iain's place, Iain shot him in the shoulder, then fatally shot his parents and himself. The police searched the property and found a torture room inside a bunker on the property. Dawn and Simon were among the people he'd kidnapped, tortured, and killed.

**Stuart King** is a character appearing in Loch Henry. He is portrayed by Daniel Portman.

## History

When Stuart was a child, a newlywed couple, Dawn and Simon Challis, disappeared from the cottage they'd rented for their honeymoon and were eventually found to have been murdered. The media heavily covered the case until they moved on to cover the death of Princess Diana. This case gave Loch Henry the appearance of being unsafe, which killed off the tourism industry, jeopardizing Stuart's father's pub, The Lochside Inn. Over the following years, Richard started drinking heavily, lead to Stuart taking over the pub's day to day operations.

Davis McCardle came back to town with his girlfriend, Pia Koresh, with the plan to make a documentary about a man who protected rare eggs from being stolen. However, after Stuart told Pia the story of the Challis case, she persuaded Davis to make a documentary about that instead. Stuart liked the idea, saying it would bring the tourists back. He even offered them a box of clippings and recordings related to the case that his mother had collected.

When Richard learned that Stuart had given them the box, he was opposed to the idea and said no one should be making documentaries about that case. Stuart still helped Pia and Davis, sitting for an interview and then going with them to break into the house where the murders had taken place.

On their way back from the house, Stuart, Pia, and Davis were in a car accident with Richard. They were taken to the hospital, where Richard refused to speak to Stuart. That night, the truth came out that Davis's parents were the real masterminds behind the murders, not the scapegoated Iain Adair, who was a mere protégé. Davis's mother hanged herself and left all the evidence they needed to prove what really happened. Davis used all this to make a documentary solo because Pia had died trying to escape his mother.

The documentary, Loch Henry, went on to win a BAFTA and Stuart had the entire full bar be silent so they could watch it. Stuart called Davis to congratulate him and told him the bar had been packed for weeks.

## Relationships

He was estranged from his father, Richard, as Richard started drinking heavily after Dawn and Simon Challis's disappearances, which killed the tourism industry in Loch Henry.
