1/11 - The Doctor and Companions
I just opened submissions and I’m about ready to start drawing the companions and writing about them. Now, January is, of course, the First Doctor’s month and I’m simply starting right from the beginning.
I need people to send me some love for all the First Doctor’s Companions! So if you really, really love any of (or all!) the First Doctor’s companions:
- Susan Foreman
- Barbara Wright
- Ian Chesterton
- Vicki
- Steven Taylor
- Katarina
- Sara Kingdom
- Dodo Chaplet
- Ben Jackson
- Polly
… now is the very best time to show them your love! For more information on the project, take a look at this post and tumblog I’ve created for the project.
~ Lots of Whovian love Louise, NotJustaBook
Putting this out again - the One era really needs more love, guys!
We may end up doing all of them, we love them all so much! But yeah, anyone else wanna spread some love for the One era guys? :)

First era companion hellos and goodbyes. Part 2.
Just a bit of a review/thoughts on these great audios. Non spoiler unless of course you haven’t seen the Daleks’ Master Plan.
“The Doctor with his long silver hair and old-fashioned clothes. He seemed so ancient, so travelled, so deeply marked by time. I could have believed back then that he wielded magic powers…”
- Sara Kingdom in ‘Home Truths’
“Everyone you meet shapes the individual person you are. The more important to you, the more they cast a shadow. So I see things through his [Bret] eyes…and mine. His memory, his way of seeing things, lives on in me.”
-Sara Kingdom remembers her brother Bret Vyon in ‘Home Truths.’

You killed Bret! You just shot him down!
He was a traitor.
So last week we had a Susan Foreman day, today is Sara Kingdom’s turn.
The BBC website doesn’t consider her worthy of being a companion even though Astrid and Lady Christina are listed. Sara was in 9 episodes of the Daleks’ Master Plan and has been in several audio stories. Don’t understand why she isn’t considered a companion as she also travelled in the TARDIS and over quite a lengthy period of time, visiting a variety of places such as Hollywood, Kembel, other planets and Ancient Egypt.
So we think Sara Kingdom needs some attention, especially given that she gives her life to help the Doctor and she is played by the wonderful actress Jean Marsh who also played two other wonderful characters in Doctor Who.
