Dave Aitkin was a resident of Perivale. (PROSE: Survival)

He was washing his car in front of his home on a Sunday in 1989 when his mother called him by name and told him that his lunch was on the table. Before he could finish wiping down his car, however, he was attacked by a Kitling and teleported to the Cheetah World where he was presumably killed and eaten by the Cheetah People.

Mrs Aitkin was standing outside looking for him when the Seventh Doctor and Ace McShane walked past, the Doctor stopping to right Dave's overturned water bucket. (TV: Survival, PROSE: Survival)

Behind the Scenes

In the novelisation, Dave and Mrs Aitkin are not son and mother, but husband and wife.
