Since its premiere in 1963, many actors have starred in Doctor Who as the Time Lord's traveling companion, but not many lasted too long on the show.
Over the years, Doctor Who has featured many actors as companions to the titular Time Lord, but not many lasted a long time on the show. Doctor Who first premiered on the BBC in 1963, quickly becoming one of the most popular shows on television, at least until its 1989 cancelation. After a failed attempt at a revival in 1996, the series came back with a bang in 2005 under the supervision of Russell T. Davies.
Maureen O'Brien Maureen O'Brien played Vicki for nine stories in 1965, traveling with the First Doctor after the departure of his granddaughter, Susan. O'Brien has stated that she was desperate to leave pretty much as soon as she started, after realizing just what she had gotten herself into, but it was a change of producer that brought the final nail in the coffin for the young actor.
Michael Craze Michael Craze played Ben Jackson from 1966 to 1967, being introduced to Doctor Who in the same episode as Polly, "The War Machines." He is the other companion to witness the First Doctor's regeneration into the Second, and stays traveling until his departure with Polly in 1967's "The Faceless Ones," choosing to leave together.
Caroline John Caroline John played Liz Shaw from January to June 1970, appearing as a brilliant scientist working with UNIT to investigate alien threats on Earth, where she meets the Third Doctor. John's departure was also due to a changeover in producers, with newcomer Barry Letts feeling as though Shaw was too clever, and the Doctor should have had a companion with lesser intelligence to make him look even more brilliant.
Mary Tamm Mary Tamm played the first incarnation of the Fourth Doctor's Time Lord companion, Romana, from 1978 to 1979, after the White Guardian assigned Romana to assist the Doctor during the quest for the Key to Time in "The Ribos Operation.
Gerald Flood Gerald Flood voiced Kamelion from 1983 to 1984, first encountered by the Doctor, Vislor, and Tegan in 1215 A.D. as a tool being used by the Master, forcing Kamelion to pose as King John.
Billie Piper Billie Piper originally played Rose Tyler from 2005 to 2006, but returned on occasion throughout Russell T. Davies era of Doctor Who. As the first companion after the official revival of Doctor Who, Rose Tyler quickly became synonymous with the series, traveling with both Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor and David Tennant's Tenth, and forming a romantic connection with the latter.
Freema Agyeman Freema Agyeman played Martha Jones during the 2007 series of Doctor Who, traveling with the Tenth Doctor, which saw her fall in love with the Time Lord before eventually cutting ties after the events of "The Sound of Drums" and "Last of the Time Lords." Freema Agyeman left Doctor Who on good terms, with the intention being that she would appear in the spinoffs, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, and cameo in future Doctor Who stories.
Karen Gillan Karen Gillan played Amy Pond from 2010 to 2012, the first companion of the Eleventh Doctor, introduced to him after he crash lands in her garden, and then returns twelve years later and whisks her away to see the stars. Karen Gillan revealed that she and Steven Moffat discussed plans for Amy's departure, saying she felt it was her time to go, but wanted Amy to get what she wanted in the series.
