He was the exttant Doctor in Class. In TW: Children of Earth
(when Tennant was the offstage Doctor) he was an MP whose kid
got selected for sacrifice to the 5.6.7.8's (or whatever they
were called - I hated it so much I've never rewatched it).

 Yes. Peter Capaldi played a Home Office bod in Torchwood who's
name was Frobisher... easy to remember if you're a fan of the
Sixth Doctor DWM comic strips... or penguins. :-)
