Information AboutDoc Matthews |
|
Doc Matthews was a Canadian specialist in the field of Astronautics . He was called in as ship's Doctor when Newcombe, Mitchell's previous director of medicine was found dead in Australia . Doc became an essential part of the team. With a voice of calm and a thinker's approach, he helped to unravel many of the mysteries that the crew encountered. Doc's diaries provided detailed accounts of what took place on each trip. He was in effect the narrator of the story. Sometimes the log itself became part of the story. When the crew of Luna were returned to their own time in orbit around the Moon , they lost all memory of their adventure on pre-historic Earth and encounter with an ancient alien culture, so Doc's diary was the rocketship crew's only clue as to what happened during their time travelling exploits. Docs 'ship' logs also provided vital evidence when trying to convince space HQ that the planet Mars posed a threat to Earth security. Doc often had to convince the others to see reason, offering words of caution when Jet wanted to leap into action, reassurance when Lemmy got into a panic and common sense when Mitch started a heated argument. |
