Jeffrey Evelyn Wells was the associate of the Sixth Inspector. He briefly met the Fourth Inspector and Mary Sue Brown in "The Only Inspector". He was portrayed by British actor Rik Mayall.
Death[]
Jeffrey died while trying to protect Earth from the Sergeant and his fleet ofBlorgons. His last act was to place an explosive device in the Sergeant's frozen yogurt.
- "Our traditional Infinity Knight greeting ritual provided ample time for Jeffrey to sneak an atomic radon blaster into your unattended frozen yogurt. He was a good man, Jeffrey. A bit stupid, yes, but a good man.”
He was briefly revived in The Sixth Inspector's final season, but this ended in chaos.
Fan Reception[]
Jeffrey's defining personality traits were his overt masculinity, transparently false humility, and tendency to be a womanizer. All of this combined to make him widely disliked among fans of the programme.
However future Associate actor Arthur Darvil was a fan of Mayall's, writing on Twitter, "You made me laugh at all the rude stuff before I knew what the rude stuff was."[1]
