Talk about it here.
An unnamed prisoner was an inmate of Stangmoor Prison.
Biography[]
When Harry Mailer and the Master led a breakout, the prisoner kept guard over the main gate disguised in a prison officer's uniform.
When Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, posing as a delivery van driver, arrived at the prison to drop off some provisions, the prisoner allowed him to go in — unaware that inside the van were not provisions but a UNIT assault team. The prisoner was then knocked out by one of the UNIT soldiers. (TV: The Mind of Evil)
