Overview

The Doctor wouldn't be half the Time Lord they are, without some assistance. But how much do you know about the people who played the companions? This book is the first of its kind. It's your comprehensive guide to the actors who have played Doctor Who companions over the years. Inside, you will find biographies of every companion actor who has been in Doctor Who. There are complete chronologies of companion arrivals and departures through the show's history, enriched with original interviews with some of the cast. As an encyclopaedia, it is packed with dates, details and knowledge, a valuable reference source for any Doctor Who fan. As a guide, this book also offers a personal perspective on the show and explores what these talented, hard-working professionals brought to the show. The author traces its origins in 1963, through the ensuing decades, and takes you right up to the most recent serials.  Doctor Who: An Encyclopaedia of Companion Actors is a testament to the actors and a meticulously-crafted love-letter to the show.
