[[File:Doctor Who - Classic Female Companions.jpg|thumb|600px|Oh, and there were a few male companions, too.]]
This is a list of the Doctor's companions during the "classic" run of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
== Susan "Foreman" (First Doctor) ==
[[File:minisusanicon_8569.jpg|frame
{{quote|''Oh, grandfather!''}}
Line 18 ⟶ 22:
== Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton (First Doctor) ==
[[File:minibarbaraian_6670.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''Ian''': We'd better keep an eye on [the Doctor]. He seems to have a knack of getting himself into trouble.}}
Line 37 ⟶ 41:
== Vicki (First Doctor) ==
[[File:minivickiicon_1115.jpg|frame
{{quote|''Oh, something else I forgot to tell you. I think I've poisoned Nero.''}}
Line 53 ⟶ 57:
== Steven Taylor (First Doctor) ==
[[File:ministevenicon_792.jpg|frame
{{quote|''This is quite a ship you've got here, Doc.''}}
Line 67 ⟶ 71:
== Katarina (First Doctor) ==
[[File:minikatarinaicon1_1600.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''First Doctor''': She wanted to save our lives, and perhaps the lives of all other beings of the solar system. I hope she found perfection.}}
Line 81 ⟶ 85:
== Sara Kingdom (First Doctor) ==
[[File:minikingdomicon1_9498.jpg|frame
{{quote|Played by: Jean Marsh (1965)}}
Line 98 ⟶ 102:
== Dorothea "Dodo" Chaplet (First Doctor) ==
[[File:minidodoicon_1180.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''Steven''': If it isn't allowed, Dodo would be first in the queue!}}
Line 106 ⟶ 110:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: The [[Expanded Universe]] thrives on this trope ''anyway'', but Dodo comes in for more than her share. She comes away from her travels with a venereal disease and a nervous breakdown. [[It Got Worse|And that's just the start of it...]]
* [[Oop North]]: Famously invoked ([[Football Pop Music and Flat Caps|Manchester accent]]) and then [[
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Didn't even get a leaving scene.
Line 112 ⟶ 116:
== Ben Jackson and Polly (First and Second Doctors) ==
[[File:minipollyben_8999.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''Ben''': The Doctor always wore this. If you are him it should fit... That settles it!
'''Second Doctor''': I'd like to see a butterfly fit into a chrysalis case after it spreads its wings.
Line 126 ⟶ 130:
* [[No Name Given]]: Polly's surname is never mentioned on screen. It's [[Word of God|probably]] "Wright". (In "The Faceless Ones", an alien duplicate of her gave her name as "Michelle Leuppi", but given that she was using a different forename there's no reason to suppose she kept Polly's original surname).
* [[Only One Name]]: Polly's last name was never revealed on screen, but the scripts indicated it to be Wright, which has been adopted by the [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe]]. A few reference books in the 1980s gave her last name as Lopez, a mishearing of "Leuppi" as mentioned above.
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: Polly gets told to "[[You! Get Me Coffee!|Go make some coffee]]" a lot when she asks how she can help. Worse, when they leave the TARDIS crew Ben gets told to find his ship and become an admiral, while Polly should take care of Ben.
* [[Totally Radical]]: Intended by the production team to show the new face of ''Doctor Who'' in the swinging mid-sixties.
== Jamie McCrimmon (Second Doctor) ==
[[File:minijamieicon_3509.jpg|frame
{{quote|''Me? Foreign? ''You're'' the one that's foreign - I'm ''Scottish''.''}}
Line 152 ⟶ 156:
== Victoria Waterfield (Second Doctor) ==
[[File:minivictoriaicon1_3715.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''Second Doctor:''' You look very nice in that dress, Victoria.
'''Victoria:''' Thank you. Don't you think it's a bit...
Line 173 ⟶ 177:
== Brigadier Sir Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Doctors) ==
[[File:
{{quote|''Just once, I'd like to face an alien menace that wasn't [[Immune to Bullets]].''}}
Some people consider him a companion, others don't. All acknowledge his significance as a character. The head of UNIT in the 70s ''([[Continuity Snarl|or was it the 80s?]])'', the Brig worked alongside the Doctor and many of his companions in that era and beyond - often defending the Earth from various threats. Retired from UNIT in 1976, though still met up with the Doctor and Sarah Jane (in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'') on occasion.
Line 207 ⟶ 211:
== Zoe Heriot (Second Doctor) ==
[[File:minizoeicon_9275.jpg|frame
{{quote|''My head has been pumped full of facts and figures which I reel out automatically when needed, but I want to feel things as well.''}}
Line 224 ⟶ 228:
* [[Hot Scientist]]
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Same as with Jamie, thanks to those Time Lords. Temporarily removed for the odd [[Big Finish]] adventure; usually returns.
**
* [[Little Stowaway]]
* [[Long Bus Trip]]: Much like Jamie above, Zoe is returning to the franchise for a [[Big Finish]] story ''27'' years after her last appearance in the franchise and about ''41'' years after the actual character left the TARDIS. Like Jamie, this has to be some sort of a record.<ref>Unlike Jamie, though, this was the ''real'' Zoe. But [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|she doesn't remain.]]</ref>
Line 237 ⟶ 241:
== Sergeant John Benton (Second, Third and Fourth Doctors) ==
[[File:minibentonicon_6670.jpg|frame
{{quote|Played by: John Levene (1968-75)<ref>a ''very'' young Darren Plant played the baby incarnation of Benton in ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S9/E05 The Time Monster|The Time Monster]]''.</ref>}}
Line 252 ⟶ 256:
== Dr. Elizabeth "Liz" Shaw (Third Doctor) ==
[[File:minilizicon2_6586.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart''': Nonsense. What you need, Doctor, as Miss Shaw herself so often remarked, is someone to pass you your test tubes, and to tell you how brilliant you are.}}
Line 268 ⟶ 272:
== Jo Grant{{spoiler|-Jones}} (Third Doctor) ==
[[File:minijoicon_9442.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''Third Doctor:''' I thought you said you took science at [[British Education System|A-Level]].
'''Jo:''' I didn't say I passed. }}
Line 297 ⟶ 301:
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Not many people can politely tell the Master that they aren't going to let themselves be hypnotized again.
* [[The Power of Love]]: Gigantic invincible intergalactic demon about to wipe out mankind? No problem.
* [[Walking the Earth]]:
* [[The Watson]]
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]
Line 303 ⟶ 307:
== Captain Mike Yates (Third and Fourth Doctors) ==

Line 318 ⟶ 322:

Also technically a companion of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''</ref>) ==
[[File:minisarahjaneicon2_7189.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''Sarah Jane:''' So, providing we don't burn up on re-entry and aren't suffocated on the way down, we'll probably be smashed to a pulp when we land.
'''Fourth Doctor:''' Exactly. Sarah, you've put your finger on the one tiny flaw in our plan.
Line 343 ⟶ 347:
== Harry Sullivan (Fourth Doctor) ==
[[File:miniharryicon_8088.jpg|frame

Line 444 ⟶ 448:
=== Romana II ===
[[File:miniromana2icon2_1054.jpg|frame
{{quote|'''The Doctor:''' Psst, you are wonderful.

Line 466 ⟶ 470:
== Adric (Fourth and Fifth Doctors) ==
[[File:miniadricicon2_5615.jpg|frame
{{quote|''Could anyone pass the sodium chloride, please?''}}
Line 504 ⟶ 508:

== Nyssa of Traken (Fourth and Fifth Doctors) ==
[[File:mininyssaicon_8160.jpg|frame

Line 522 ⟶ 526:
* [[Women Are Wiser]]
* [[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: In her [[Big Finish Doctor Who|Companion Chronicle]] ''The Darkening Eye.'' With Tegan.
* [[Expanded Universe]]: In the [[Big Finish]] audio series, teenaged Nyssa travels for a long time with the Doctor (presumably between the TV stories "Time-Flight" and "Arc of Infinity", during which interval Tegan as been kicked to the curb). Later, she rejoins the Doctor at a period after "Terminus", but
* [[Giant Poofy Sleeves]]

Line 537 ⟶ 541:

{{quote|'''The Master:''' I am the Master!
'''Peri:''' So what? I'm Perpugilliam Brown, and I can shout just as loud as you can! }}
Line 621 ⟶ 625:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Just ask [[Peter Davison]]. Some of her wardrobe is actually modest though.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: The [[Expanded Universe]] seems to delight in doing this to poor Peri. One tale winds up killing off her entire family. And not just that, but it was an utter afterthought in a story's epilogue where Peri had ''already'' lost some people who were like family to her.
** Another "perfect" example deals with the alternate possibilities coming from her final appearances.
* [[The Ditz]]: Season 22, mostly. Luckily, she improved drastically in her last season, not to mention her [[Big Finish Doctor Who|audio adventures]].
* [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]]
Line 635 ⟶ 639:

{{quote|Played by: [[Sophie Aldred]] (1987-89)}}
Line 677 ⟶ 681:
** She said "Wicked!" so often that the Doctor himself was inspired to say it once.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: The epitome of this trope, to the point where the type of Doctor Ace really needs is a therapist.
* [[Expanded Universe]]: has established that her full name is [[The Wizard of Oz|Dorothy Gale]] McShane.
* [[Girl of the Week]]: The children's TV [[Word of Gay]] version. Ace appeared in nine stories, and rapidly established a close friendship with an attractive young female character in at least five of them.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Much of the [[Totally Radical]] comes from the writers' attempts to have her insult people or express emotion without swearing.
Line 697 ⟶ 701:
== Dr. Grace Holloway (Eighth Doctor) ==
[[File:minigraceicon_435.jpg|frame
{{quote|''Doctor, I only have ''one'' life. Can you try to keep that in mind?''}}
