Wilfred "Wilf" Mott is a recurring fictional character in the British
science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by Bernard
Cribbins. He is the grandfather of the Tenth Doctor's companion Donna
Noble, and father of character Sylvia Noble. As companion to the
Doctor, an alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, Donna travelled
through space and time in the show's 2008 series, having numerous
adventures. A believer in extraterrestrial life himself, Mott was
proud of his granddaughter's adventures and helped to keep them a
secret from her overbearing mother. He later became the Tenth Doctor's
final companion in "The End of Time".Cribbins was originally intended
to appear only in the 2007 Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned",
but when Howard Attfield was forced to retire from his role as Donna's
father due to illness (Attfield subsequently died), creator Russell T
Davies reconceived Cribbins' role as Donna's grandfather and replaced
Attfield with him for the fourth series.Wilfred Mott first appears in
"Voyage of the Damned" (2007). The Doctor and Astrid Peth meet him
shortly after teleporting down to Earth. He mans a newspaper stand,
and is one of the few people to remain in London over Christmas
following the bizarre events during each Christmas in recent years
("The Christmas Invasion" and "The Runaway Bride"). He is a staunch
monarchist. He witnesses the Doctor and Astrid being teleported back
to the intergalactic cruiser Titanic.Donna Noble calls him "Gramps".
In the episode "Partners in Crime", Mott is revealed to be an amateur
astronomer who spends his evenings stargazing with his telescope from
an allotment. He has an interest in alien conspiracies, and is
somewhat eccentric. He has a good relationship with his granddaughter
who joins him on the allotment when she wishes to escape her mother's
nagging. Noble asks him to tell her if he ever sees "a little blue
box" and vaguely describes the Doctor to him. After Noble joins the
Doctor, the pair make a fly-by of the allotment in the TARDIS, its
door open, which astonishes Mott. Noble waves to him from the TARDIS
door and he is elated to see that she is following her desire for
adventure. Mott wears on his hat the badge of the Parachute Regiment,
in which Cribbins served during his National Service. Wilfred Mott Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
