The Doctor is the central character in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who, and also features in The term is primarily used in Doctor Who fandom; the press and general public often refer to these characters as "assistants". The long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who has developed a large fan base over the years The term was rarely used in the classic series (1963-1989), however the revived series (2005-) makes more frequent use of the term.

As a technical term, "companion" is more common within fan circles; the press uses the term more loosely, and often refers to the characters as "assistants". The series itself does not apply the term consistently: often, the Doctor merely introduces his fellow leads as his "friends". In the 2005 series, the Ninth Doctor states he "employed Rose Tyler as [his] companion", prompting an immediate inquiry into the sexual status of the relationship. The Ninth Doctor is the ninth official incarnation of the Fictional character known as the Doctor, in the long-running BBC television Rose Marion Tyler is a fictional character played by Billie Piper in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who
History of the Doctor Who companion
When Doctor Who was created, the dramatic structure of the programme's cast was rather different from the hero-and-sidekick pattern that emerged later. Initially, the character of the Doctor was almost an antihero, with uncertain motives and abilities. The protagonists were schoolteachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, who provided the audience's point-of-view in stories set in Earth's history and on alien worlds. Ian Chesterton is a Fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and a companion Barbara Wright is a Fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and a companion of Ian in particular served the role of the action hero. The fourth character was the Doctor's granddaughter Susan, who was initially presented as an "unearthly child"; the programme's makers intended Susan as an identification figure for younger viewers.
Carole Ann Ford, who played Susan, became unhappy with the lack of development for her character, and chose to leave in its second series. Carole Ann Ford (born 8 June 1940) is a British Actress best known for her role as Susan Foreman in the BBC Science The character of Susan was married off to a freedom fighter and left behind to rebuild a Dalek-ravaged Earth, establishing two scenarios to which the series would later return. A Dalek (, ˈdɑːlεk is a member of a Fictional extraterrestrial race of Mutants from the British science fiction television Doctor Who's producers replaced Susan with another young female character, Vicki. Vicki is a fictional character played by Maureen O'Brien in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who Similarly, when Ian and Barbara left, the "action hero" position was filled by astronaut Steven Taylor. Steven Taylor is a fictional character played by Peter Purves in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who This grouping of Doctor, young heroic male and attractive young female became the programme's pattern throughout the 1960s.
When the programme changed to colour in 1970, its format changed: the Doctor was now earth-bound, and acquired a supporting cast by his affiliation with the paramilitary organization United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. UNIT ( U nited N ations I ntelligence T askforce later the UN ified I ntelligence T askforce is a fictional military The Third Doctor, more active and physical than his predecessors, made the role of the "action hero" male companion redundant. The Third Doctor is the name given to the third incarnation of the Fictional character known as the Doctor; seen on screen in the long-running In the 1970 season the Doctor was assisted by scientist Liz Shaw and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, along with other UNIT personnel. Liz Shaw, full name Dr Elizabeth Shaw, is a fictional character played by Caroline John in the long-running British science fiction television Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (sometimes The intellectual Shaw was replaced by Jo Grant in the 1971 season, and as the programme returned to occasional adventures in outer space, the format shifted once more: while UNIT continued to provide a regular "home base" for Earth-bound stories, in stories on other planets the Doctor and Jo became a two-person team with a close, personal bond. Josephine "Jo" Grant is a fictional character played by Katy Manning in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor This pattern, the Doctor with a single female companion, became a template from which Doctor Who rarely diverged. The "heroic male" type occasionally returned (for example, Harry Sullivan and Jack Harkness), but the single female companion was Doctor Who's staple. See Harry Stack Sullivan for the American psychologist and psychoanalyst Harry Sullivan is a fictional character from the British Captain Jack Harkness
The role of the companion in Doctor Who
Companions have assumed a variety of roles in Doctor Who, as involuntary passengers, as assistants per se (particularly Liz Shaw), as disciples, as friends, and as fellow adventurers. Liz Shaw, full name Dr Elizabeth Shaw, is a fictional character played by Caroline John in the long-running British science fiction television
The Doctor regularly gains new companions and loses old ones; sometimes they return home, or find new causes — or loves — on worlds they have visited. Some companions (notably Katarina, Sara Kingdom, Adric, Kamelion and Astrid Peth) have died during the course of the series. Katarina is a fictional character played by Adrienne Hill in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who Sara Kingdom is a fictional character played by Jean Marsh in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who Adric is a Fictional character played by Matthew Waterhouse in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who Kamelion is a Fictional character from the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Astrid Peth is a Fictional character played by Kylie Minogue in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor
There are some disputes within Doctor Who fandom about the definition of a companion, but most fans agree that over thirty (including K-9 Marks I and II) meet the criteria for "companion" status in the television series, with others being established in the various spin-offs. K-9, or K9, is the name of several fictional Robotic dogs in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor This is a list of fictional characters who were companions of the Doctor, in various spin-off media based on the long-running British science fiction Most companions travel in the TARDIS with the Doctor for more than one adventure, although there are exceptions; see Disputed companions, below. The TARDIS ( T ime A nd R elative D imension(s I n S pace is a time machine and Spacecraft in the Sometimes a guest character will take a role in the story similar to that of a companion: one recent example is Lynda in "Bad Wolf" and "The Parting of the Ways" while an example from the classic series is photographer Isobel Watkins who plays a significant role in "The Invasion". This article is about the Doctor Who episode For the folk tale character see Big Bad Wolf. " The Parting of the Ways " is an episode in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast
Despite the fact that the majority of the Doctor's companions are young, attractive females, the production team for the 1963–1989 series maintained a longstanding taboo against any overt romantic involvement in the TARDIS: for example, Peter Davison, as the Fifth Doctor, was not allowed to put his arm around either Sarah Sutton (Nyssa) or Janet Fielding (Tegan). Peter Davison (born Peter Moffett 13 April 1951 is an English Actor, best known for his roles as Tristan Farnon in the television version of The Fifth Doctor is the name given to the fifth incarnation of the Fictional character known as the Doctor seen on screen in the long-running Sarah Sutton (born 12 December 1961 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England) is a British Actress best known for Janet Fielding (born Janet Mahoney, 1957 Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian Actress, known for her role in the BBC Tegan Jovanka is a fictional character played by Janet Fielding in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who [2] However, that has not prevented fans from speculating about possible romantic involvements, most notably between the Fourth Doctor and the Time Lady Romana (whose actors, Tom Baker and Lalla Ward, shared a romance and brief marriage). The Fourth Doctor is the name given to the fourth incarnation of the Fictional character known as the Doctor seen on screen in the long-running Romana, short for Romanadvoratrelundar, is a Fictional character in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Thomas Stewart "Tom" Baker (born 20 January 1934 is an English Actor. Lalla Ward (born Sarah Ward 28 June 1951) also known as The Honourable Sarah Ward, is an English actress author and illustrator The taboo was controversially broken in the 1996 television movie when the Eighth Doctor was shown kissing companion Grace Holloway. The Eighth Doctor is a Fictional character, the eighth incarnation of the Doctor seen on screen in the long-running BBC television Dr Grace Holloway is a fictional character played by Daphne Ashbrook in the 1996 television movie Doctor Who, a continuation of the long-running British The 2005 series played with this idea by having various characters think that the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler were a couple, which they vehemently denied. The Ninth Doctor is the ninth official incarnation of the Fictional character known as the Doctor, in the long-running BBC television Rose Marion Tyler is a fictional character played by Billie Piper in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who Since the series revival, the Doctor has kissed companions Rose, Jack, Martha, Astrid and Donna, although each instance not in a romantic context (see also "The Doctor and romance"). The Doctor is the central character in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who, and also features in
Previous companions have reappeared in the series, usually for anniversary specials. One former companion, Sarah Jane Smith (played by Elisabeth Sladen), together with the robotic dog K-9, appeared in one episode of the 2006 series more than twenty years after their last appearances in the 20th anniversary story The Five Doctors (1983). Sarah Jane Smith is a Fictional character played by Elisabeth Sladen in the long-running British BBC Television science fiction series Elisabeth Sladen (born 1 February 1948, Liverpool) is an English actress best known for her role as Sarah Jane Smith in the British K-9, or K9, is the name of several fictional Robotic dogs in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor " School Reunion " is the third episode in the second series of the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who. The Five Doctors is a special feature-length episode of the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, produced The character of Sarah Jane also heads up a Doctor Who spin-off, The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Captain Jack Harkness Torchwood is a British science fiction Drama Television programme, created by Russell T Davies and starring John Barrowman
The new series (2005–) has slightly altered the significance of the companion status, partly due to a strong focus on the character of Rose Tyler and characters connected to her. This is a list of Doctor Who television serials and episodes. The year 2005 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 2005. For example, although Adam Mitchell was a companion by the standard definition, he appeared in only two episodes and was arguably a less significant part of the 2005 series than Rose's sometime boyfriend Mickey Smith, who was not technically a companion but appeared in five episodes (or six, including a brief appearance as a child in "Father's Day"). Adam Mitchell is a Fictional character in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by Bruno Mickey Smith is a Fictional character in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by Noel Clarke Father's Day is a celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating Fatherhood and male Parenting, and Mickey later gained full-fledged companion status when he joined the TARDIS crew in the 2006 episode "School Reunion". The year 2006 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 2006. " School Reunion " is the third episode in the second series of the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who. In that episode, Sarah Jane Smith referred to Rose as the Doctor's "assistant", a term to which the latter took offence. This exchange might be regarded as indicating a deliberate shift in approach for the new series.
New series companions have also a more flexible tenure than their classical predecessors. Of the Doctor's six companions over the first three series, two (Jack and Mickey) have left the Doctor's company at some point, only to return later for further adventures. This will continue in Series 4, with Donna, Martha, Rose and Jack returning to the show.

Disputed companions
Since there is no formal definition of what makes a companion, Doctor Who fans sometimes dispute whether certain characters are "really" companions or not. Astrid Peth is a Fictional character played by Kylie Minogue in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Kylie Ann Minogue, OBE, born 28 May 1968 is an Australian pop Singer - Songwriter and occasional Actress. This is a list of Doctor Who television serials and episodes. " Voyage of the Damned " is an episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Liz Shaw never travelled in the TARDIS in the television series, and Sara Kingdom and Astrid Peth both died in the same adventures in which they made their debut. Liz Shaw, full name Dr Elizabeth Shaw, is a fictional character played by Caroline John in the long-running British science fiction television Sara Kingdom is a fictional character played by Jean Marsh in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who Astrid Peth is a Fictional character played by Kylie Minogue in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Some fans define these three as companions and others do not. Fans also disagree on whether Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and other UNIT staff, who sometimes filled the companion's dramatic role during the Third Doctor's exile on Earth, should be counted as companions. Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (sometimes UNIT ( U nited N ations I ntelligence T askforce later the UN ified I ntelligence T askforce is a fictional military The Third Doctor is the name given to the third incarnation of the Fictional character known as the Doctor; seen on screen in the long-running For example, Sergeant Benton's only trip in the TARDIS came in The Three Doctors, while the Brigadier travelled with the Doctor on that occasion, and again in Mawdryn Undead and The Five Doctors, but Captain Mike Yates never stepped inside the blue box. Sergeant Benton is a Fictional character in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by John Levene The Three Doctors is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, first broadcast in four weekly Mawdryn Undead is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was originally broadcast The Five Doctors is a special feature-length episode of the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, produced Captain Mike Yates is a Fictional character in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by Richard Franklin Furthermore, companion status cannot simply be based on travelling in the TARDIS, since several stories of the Peter Davison era featured the majority of the cast being transported by the Doctor (it was even invaded by Cybermen on two occasions). Peter Davison (born Peter Moffett 13 April 1951 is an English Actor, best known for his roles as Tristan Farnon in the television version of On that basis, Sara Kingdom would be considered a companion, but not Bret Vyon, who travelled with the Doctor, Steven and Katarina in the spaceship Spar 7-40 during the same adventure.
The robot Kamelion travelled with the Fifth Doctor, but did not appear frequently. Kamelion is a Fictional character from the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The Fifth Doctor is the name given to the fifth incarnation of the Fictional character known as the Doctor seen on screen in the long-running The actual robotic Kamelion prop had chronic technical problems on the set, and therefore appeared in only one story in Season 20 and a second in Season 21, in which it was destroyed. Because Kamelion could change shape into anyone, a number of actors played it. Since it only appeared in two stories (a third appearance was filmed but not aired), its status as a companion is a matter of debate.
There is also dispute over the companion status of Dr Grace Holloway from the 1996 telemovie, who is offered the chance to travel with the Doctor but declines, and therefore appeared only once. Another character from the telemovie, Chang Lee, is sometimes described as a companion as well, although to be accurate he was more a companion of the Master. The Master is a recurring character in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who. Jackie Tyler, Rose's mother, had a recurring, non-travelling role in the series, although in the episode "Army of Ghosts", she does travel with the Doctor in his TARDIS and also acts in the role of companion (standing in for Rose); she is not, however, generally considered a companion. Jacqueline Andrea Suzette "Jackie" Tyler (née Prentice) is a Fictional character in the British Science fiction television series " Army of Ghosts " is the twelfth and penultimate episode in the second series of the British Science fiction television series Doctor
In the new series, the Doctor's primary companion (first Rose Tyler, then Martha Jones, then Donna Noble) plays a distinct role, more significant than other, more transient TARDIS travellers such as Adam, Jack, and Mickey. Indeed, the British press touted Martha as the "first ethnic minority companion in the 43-year television history of Doctor Who"[15] or "first black assistant",[16] even though Mickey was also from an ethnic minority background. The significance of this "primary companion" role is indicated by the fact that Billie Piper's name appeared in the programme's title sequence (as does Freema Agyeman's and Catherine Tate's; John Barrowman also receives this credit when Jack reappears from "Utopia" onwards). Billie Paul Piper (born Lianne Paul Piper on 22 September 1982 is an English actress and pop Singer. Freema Agyeman (born Frema Agyeman on 20 March, 1979) is an English actress of Ghanaian and Iranian descent Catherine Tate (born Catherine Ford 12 May 1968) is an English comedienne and Actress.

K-9, or K9, is the name of several fictional Robotic dogs in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor " School Reunion " is the third episode in the second series of the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who. Technically, however, this model of K-9 was never officially a companion of the Doctor, having only been given to Sarah Jane Smith in the spin-off K-9 and Company, and the episode does not establish whether the subsequent K-9 Mark IV that the Doctor leaves with Sarah Jane is completely new or if Mark III's files have been transferred to the new machine.

Susan, Jamie, Harry and Sarah Jane (and K-9 Mark III) have guest-starred in later stories.
