Leo Jones was the brother of Martha Jones.

Biography[]

Childhood[]

Leo was born to Clive and Francine Jones. (TV: Smith and Jones) As a child, he loved to read Commando comics (PROSE: The Story of Martha) and used to steal the tennis ball when his elder sisters, Tish and Martha, were playing in the garden. (PROSE: Wishing Well)

Circa 1990, Leo was responsible for breaking Martha's arm after he accidentally pushed her too hard on a park swing. Although Martha was the one with the injury, Leo was the one who ended up crying about it. (PROSE: The Frozen Wastes) He and Tish once buried Martha up to her neck in sand at Cromer Beach. (PROSE: Forever Autumn)

Adulthood[]

Leo had a girlfriend called Shonara. (PROSE: Creatures and Demons [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW. Page 63.) By the 2000s,[nb 1] Leo and his girlfriend had a two-year-old daughter named Keisha. (PROSE: Martha Jones' MySpace blog) He did not ask for a twenty-first birthday party and told Martha that he would rather not have one than have Clive and Francine arguing. Annalise bought him a 75p soap. The party ended in a fight, after which Leo went after his father whilst Tish stayed with their mother. (TV: Smith and Jones)

Leo witnessed Richard Lazarus turn forty years younger and the havoc that Lazarus created when he mutated and began a feeding frenzy to power his rejuvenation, during which he was struck in the head with a table and suffered a concussion. He also met the Tenth Doctor, who he could tell his sister loved dearly. (TV: The Lazarus Experiment)

On the day Harold Saxon took office, Leo was in Brighton with his girlfriend and daughter. the Saxon Master had his parents and sister arrested, but Leo evaded capture after Martha warned him to hide with friends. (TV: The Sound of Drums) Leo disappeared in the subsequent Year That Never Was, which Martha took to mean that he was hiding successfully, believing that the Master would have told her family if he had been captured or killed. (AUDIO: The Last Diner) After the year was erased, Leo was back with the rest of his family as the only one without memory of the Toclafane invasion and its aftermath. (TV: Last of the Time Lords)

Personality[]

Leo hated the song "Grace Kelly" by Mika (PROSE: The Pirate Loop) and did not dress smartly, with Martha implying that seeing him in black tie was a novelty. (TV: The Lazarus Experiment)

Behind the scenes[]

  • In an unmade, deleted scene, Tom Milligan found Leo during the Master's reign. He told Martha that Leo was part of the slave force in the north and had had to change his name because he could not risk having anything to do with her.[source needed]
  • He celebrates his twenty-first birthday in Smith and Jones. Reggie Yates was twenty-four at the time.

Footnotes[]

  1. According to the episode The Sound of Drums, Martha Jones' present day during series 3 of Doctor Who takes place over a six-day period, with the Saxon Master being elected three days after Smith and Jones, and the Toclafane invading Earth five days after Smith and Jones. However, sources differ on which dates these stories are set. According to PROSE: The Paradox Moon, the Toclafane invasion happens on 23 June 2007, placing the events of Smith and Jones on 18 June. According to AUDIO: Hysteria, Smith and Jones takes place in 2008, with a UNIT mission log in AUDIO: Recruits referring to the recovery of moon rocks from Royal Hope Hospital in March 2008. A newspaper clipping in PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters places Smith and Jones on a Sunday 4 June, thus placing the Toclafane invasion on Friday 9 June. In the real world, these dates do not fall on a Sunday and Friday in either 2007 or 2008.
