Private Perkins was a British Army soldier who served under Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart in the United Kingdom branch of the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce during the early 1970s. Along with Captain Turner, Sergeant Walters and Corporal Benton, Perkins was part of the rescue team sent to recover Jamie McCrimmon, Zoe Heriot and Isobel Watkins from the London sewers. However, when the group encountered two Cybermen, Perkins panicked and tried to flee, but was shot and killed by the Cybermen. (DW: "The Invasion")
