[[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) ==

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 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.
Line 173 ⟶ 177:
== Brigadier Sir Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Doctors) ==

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 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 717 ⟶ 721:
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Ultimately, she decides not to go with the Doctor, and the Doctor refuses to stay on Earth with her.
