Background

First Officer is the first officer for the S.S. Queen of Glasgow in the British Navy.

During the events of The Twilight Zone: Season 1 Episode 10 Judgement Night played by Patrick Macnee

In 1942, First Officer walks up to Carl Lanser and tells him that Captain Wilbur wants to see him. Captain Wilbur asks to see Lanser's passport, but Lanser doesn't have it with him. The First Officer asks him to bring it to them later and his passport wasn't on the manifest. Lanser leaves and Captain Wilbur tells the First Officer to have 2nd Steward be sent to Lanser's cabin. Later, Captain Wilbur tells the First Officer if they reduce speed to save the engines then they will be an easy target, and if they speed up, the engines will break down. The First Officer walks in to the bar and asks the Bartender for a tray of coffee for the captain's bridge. Lanser notices the engines have stopped, but the First Officer tells him it is probably routine, and Lanser insists they must have broken down. At 1:15, Lanser starts yelling that they must abandon ship. The ship is attacked by a U-Boat and all the personnel and passengers are killed.
