The Jagrafess was a gigantic, gelatinous creature similar to a slug in shape. Its origins or home planet (or even the name of its species) are not known, but it was sentient and able to communicate in a series of growls. It had a life span of about 3000 years, with sharp, vicious teeth and several vestigial eyes. Its metabolic rate, however, meant that it had to be kept at low temperatures to survive.

The Jagrafess was the supervisor of the mysterious and sinister Editor on board Satellite 5, a space station that broadcast news across the whole of the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire of the year 200,000. The Jagrafess had been placed with Satellite 5 some ninety years before by a consortium of interstellar banks. The intent was to use the news broadcasts to subtly manipulate the Empire, retarding its social, economic and technological growth and turning it more inward looking and xenophobic. Control was enhanced by the use of computer chips in every human that supposedly allowed the users to access the computer systems of the 2001st century, but at the same time allowed the Jagrafess and its cohorts to monitor people's thoughts. In this way, the human race was reduced to slavery without them even realising it. The Editor is a fictional character played by Simon Pegg in the new BBC TV series of Doctor Who, during the episode The Long Game. ...

Residing hidden on Floor 500 of Satellite 5, the Jagrafess conducted matters through the Editor (who showed due deference to the Jagrafess, but also called it "Max" for short). The environmental systems of Satellite 5 had been configured to vent all heat away from Floor 500, keeping it cold enough for the Jagrafess to survive, attached to the ceiling of the main control room. When the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Adam arrived on board, the Doctor recognised that human development had been deliberately obstructed and began to investigate. Christopher Eccleston (born on 16 February 1964 in Salford, Lancashire) is a British stage, television and film actor, best known for his roles in several high profile prestige films and television series. ...

Adam Mitchell is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by Bruno Langley. ...

Ultimately captured by the Editor and about to be killed by the Jagrafess, the Doctor and Rose were saved by the actions of Cathica, a human journalist, who reversed the environmental systems. The Jagrafess overheated, bloated up and exploded, apparently ending its threat and the scheme to hold back the human race.

In the episode Bad Wolf, taking place on Satellite 5 a century after The Long Game, it was revealed that the Badwolf Corporation was behind the Jagrafess, and that its masters were the Daleks. Bad Wolf is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which will be first broadcast on June 11, 2005. ...
