Barney was a member of Nigel's gang. The boys liked to smoke cigarettes on the corner near Mr Golieweski's newsagent shop.
One day they encountered the Seventh Doctor outside the shop. They asked him for money, but he said his friend Ace had it.
The next day, the boys broke into a mausoleum and vandalised it. When they heard a noise, everyone except David Fisher ran away.
Later that night, Nigel sent David to steal cigarettes from Mr Golly's shop. However, the shop was destroyed by aliens that had come to punish one of their kind. When the shop was destroyed, Barney and the other boys ran away. (PROSE: Monsters)
