Character history

Peri first appears in the Fifth Doctor serial Planet of Fire, in which she encounters the Doctor and Turlough on the island of Lanzarote. Planet of Fire is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four Vislor Turlough (also spelled Vizlor Turlough) or simply Turlough was a fictional character played by Mark Strickson in the long-running British Lanzarote, a Spanish Island, is the easternmost of the Canary Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 125 km off the coast of Africa After an encounter with the Master and the shapechanging android Kamelion (who disguises himself as her stepfather, Professor Howard Foster), Peri asks to join the Fifth Doctor on his travels, while Turlough departs to return to his home planet of Trion. The Master is a recurring character in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who. Kamelion is a Fictional character from the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. (The identity of Peri's mother is not revealed in the televised series, but see below. )

Peri is present when the Fifth Doctor regenerates into the Sixth at the end of The Caves of Androzani and continues to travel with him, despite the fact that one of the first things the temporarily unstable Sixth Doctor tries to do is strangle her (The Twin Dilemma). Regeneration, in the context of the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, is a biological ability exhibited by the The Caves of Androzani is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast The Twin Dilemma is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four twice-weekly

Peri is a bright, spirited young woman, who travels with the Doctor because, like many of his companions, she wants to see the universe. Although she shares a more abrasive relationship with the Sixth Doctor, there is an undercurrent of affection in their verbal sparring.

Peri travels with the Doctor for an undisclosed period of time; some sources say she travels with him for mere months, while others say years. Between the events of Revelation of the Daleks and the season-long story The Trial of a Time Lord, the character is shown to have matured somewhat (coinciding with an 18-month production break between the two stories) and her relationship with the Doctor is less combative. Revelation of the Daleks is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast The Trial of a Time Lord is a serial that encompasses the entire twenty-third season of British science fiction television series

In the second segment of the Trial story arc, Mindwarp, Peri is abducted by a slug-like creature named Kiv, who apparently transplants his brain into her body. Mindwarp is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly Soon after, the Doctor is led to believe that Peri is dead, and is severely distressed by this. It is later revealed at the end of The Ultimate Foe (the fourth segment of the arc) that the evidence of Peri's death was faked by the Valeyard. The Ultimate Foe is the generally accepted title for a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who The Valeyard (generally pronounced "Va-lee-yard" although there are a few instances of "Val-yard" is a Fictional character from the long-running British Peri has, in fact, survived, presumably recovered from Kiv's transplant (if it ever actually occurred), and married King Yrcanos of Thoros Alpha, a warrior king who had assisted the Doctor and Peri during the Mindwarp incident. It is not known what happens to Peri after she marries Yrcanos, although the various spin-off media give different accounts of her eventual fate. Doctor Who spin-offs refers to material created outside of but related to the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor

Peri was one of the more controversial companions, with some critics complaining about the motivation for adding a character who spent much of her time on screen wearing revealing outfits. Series producer John Nathan-Turner admitted that Peri was created in order to add sex appeal to the series. John Nathan-Turner (born Jonathan Turner; August 12, 1947 &ndash May 1, 2002) was the ninth producer of the long-running Similar criticisms had been levelled against the character of Leela nearly a decade earlier. Leela is a fictional character played by Louise Jameson in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Beginning with the story Timelash, and continuing through the Trial season, Peri's mode of dress became more conservative. Timelash is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in two weekly

Bryant played the role of "Miss Brown" in the first three installments of the BBV video series The Stranger, opposite Colin Baker as the Stranger; although the character is never explicitly identified as being Peri (much as the Stranger was never directly linked to the Doctor) there are nonetheless similarities in the two characters, with one major difference: Bryant uses her natural English accent for Miss Brown rather than affecting an American one as she did with Peri. The Stranger was a series of direct-to-video (and audio CD Science fiction dramas made by BBV and starring Colin Baker.
