Tamsin Drew
Tamsin Drew is a fictional character in a series of audio plays produced by Big Finish Productions based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by Niky Wardley. She initially is a companion of the Eighth Doctor, until she was turned against him by the Meddling Monk and became his companion.
Character history
The character's first appearance is in Situation Vacant. Tamsin came from Dulwich and was an actress. Before she met the Doctor, her career was going badly due to her age. She answered an advertisement for a companion to a time traveller, approaching it as a type of audition and affected the persona of Juliet Walsh, a professional, strong, career-driven woman. Although he didn't place the ad, the Eighth Doctor spotted it as being intended for him and played along. Tamsin found herself auditioning alongside other three people; Theo Lawson, Asha Qureshi and Hugh Bainbridge, for the role of the Doctor's new companion. "Juliet" was the first of the possible companions to be eliminated and Tamsin went home upset.

Inland Type Foundry
The Inland Type Foundry was an American type foundry established in 1894 in Saint Louis, Missouri and later with branch offices in Chicago and New York City. Although it was founded to compete directly with the "type trust" (American Type Founders), and was consistently profitable, it was eventually sold to A.T.F,.
History
Inland was founded by the three sons of Carl Schraubstadter, one of the owners of the Central Type Foundry which had shut down upon being sold to A.T.F. in 1892. William A. Schraubstadter had been superintendent of the old foundry and, not being offered a similar position in the consolidation, founded Inland with his two brothers, Oswald and Carl Jr. At first the foundry sold type made by the Keystone Type Foundry and the Great Western Type Foundry, but soon enough was cutting and casting faces of their own. All three brothers were familiar with the foundry business and quite soon the firm began making type that was "state of the art," being point-set and having a common base-line for all faces of the same body size. This last feature was a recent innovation and, as Inland had no back stock of non-linging faces, they advertised this heavily as "Standard Line Type."
