Pete was a jack-of-all-trades and a budding entrepreneur who was constantly involved in various money-making schemes, from selling flavoured health drinks (named "Vitex") to trying to market solar power panels.

Character history

Pete was born on September 15, 1954 and died on November 7, 1987 in a hit-and-run accident when Rose was about six months old. September 15 is the 258th day of the year (259th in leap years). ... 1954 (MCMLIV) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ... November 7 is the 311th day of the year (312th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 54 days remaining. ... 1987 (MCMLXXXVII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In Father's Day, Rose asked the Doctor to take her back to 1987 so she could witness her father's death. Jackie had told Rose as a child that her father had died alone, and Rose wanted to be there for him. When she was faced with the reality of what she was seeing, however, Rose impulsively rushed forward and saved Pete from being run down, changing history and causing a temporal paradox that damaged time. This attracted the destructive Reapers, who began to "sterilise" the wound in time by devouring everything in sight. A physical paradox is an apparent contradiction relating to physical descriptions of the universe. ... This is a list of aliens from the television series Doctor Who. ...

Pete eventually figured out that Rose was his daughter and on listening to her describe what an ideal father he had been, also realised that Rose was lying to cover up the fact that he was supposed to be dead. The presence of Rose awakened Pete's paternal instincts; to save everyone and restore history, he deliberately stepped in front of the car that should have killed him. His sacrifice dismissed the Reapers and put time back on track, although history did change to a small extent — this time the driver did not flee the scene and Rose was there to hold his hand while he was dying. Pete died with a smile while looking on his daughter's face.

Although Pete was gone, it was his persistent spirit and a penchant for (as Jackie put it) "mad ideas" that Rose inherited. These pushed her to keep trying even when all hope seemed lost in the season finalé The Parting of the Ways, and save the world again. The Parting of the Ways is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast on June 18, 2005. ...

A parallel Earth version of Pete Tyler (played again by Dingwall) appeared in the 2006 series episode Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel. In this universe, Vitex health drinks have become hugely popular, and Pete is rich and successful (although he privately admits to the President of Great Britain that they are just fizzy drinks). However he and Jackie have not had children, although they have a pet terrier named Rose, and have separated. In addition, his company has been bought by Cybus Corporation, leaving him relatively powerless. Image File history File linksMetadata AlternatePeteTyler. ...

The first assault of the Cybermen is at his mansion, on the occasion of Jackie's fortieth birthday. At first believed to be one of Lumic's minions, Pete revealed that he has in fact been a mole secretly broadcasting information about Lumic's dealings on an encrypted channel. He believed he was getting it to the Security Services, but was disappointed to discover he had in fact been communicating with Ricky Smith's small-time resistance group, the Preachers.
