AS DOCTOR WHO RETURNS WITH A NEW COMPANION, MARION MCMULLEN LOOKS BACK AT THE TIME LORD'S TRAVELLING BUDDIES OVER THE YEARS
-

1966 KILT FOLLOWING: Frazer Hines first played kilt-wearing Jamie McCrimmon opposite Patrick Troughton's Doctor Who. The future Emmerdale actor ended up appearing in 116 episodes facing all manner of alien threats and earned himself a place in the Guinness Book Of Records as the longest-running companion.
1963 TIME FOR MORE: Billie Piper joined Christopher Eccleston's Doctor aboard the Tardis when the popular BBC series was revived. She played Rose Tyler and travelled through time and space facing new enemies, such as the Autons - aliens made of living plastic. Rose continued her space adventures when David Tennant took over the role of the Time Lord.
