The Handyfellow (Inspector Spacetime)

The Handyfellow (also known as Constable Handywoman and formerly known as the Handyman), is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Inspector Spacetime and more prominently its fan-made spin-off miniseries, Handyman Hankderchef. Apart from "The Handyman", "the Handyfellow" is among the two aliases assumed by a eons-old humanoid alien within the show's canon; an Infinity Knight who travels through space and time in an X-7 Dimensionizer time machine of their own. As both the aunt and uncle of the Inspector and later associate/constable of their fourteenth and fifteenth manifestations, multiple actors have played the Handyfellow since the character's introduction in the 1997 fan-film Inspector Spacetime: Omnipotent. Within the show's narrative, the change in actors and subsequent change of the character's appearance is explained as a consequence of metamorphosis, which is a biological attribute that allows Infinity Knights to survive fatal injuries or old age.
