William Tell, was, according to the Fourth Doctor, a "charming man." The Doctor attributed his skill with a crossbow to Tell's tutoring in Switzerland, having fired a bolt that prevented him being lowered into a pit of Horda. (TV: The Face of Evil) The Seventh Doctor once told his companion Ace that he had met Tell, though she believed that he may have been joking. (AUDIO: The Settling) Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture was named after him. (AUDIO: Enemy Aliens)
