Character summary

TIM is biological computer, programmed with an artificially created intelligence. His tubes are filled with "bio-fluid". He was partially built by John, the leader of the Tomorrow People, and was given to them by the "Galactic Council". TIM is housed in "The Lab", situated in a disused station in the London Underground. TIM often helps out the Tomorrow People, by providing vital information which the Telepaths can use in their current adventure. Tim's voice is identical to that of diplomat Timus Irnok Mosta from the Galactic Federation (pronounced with a long i), who along with his clone-brother Tikno appears in the series at one point; this is because one of Timus's clone-brothers provided the voice for the computer.
