Random Thoughts on a Very Specific Thing: When Companions Choose Companions

Okay, so, off the top of my head, this has happened four times in Doctor Who's televised run. I'm not familiar enough with EU companions to say anything about what happens there.

Companions have become companions for a variety of reasons. The new series has this idea that the Doctor only travels with "the best" and they usually choose their companions. The classic series had a lot of Companions via Circumstance. Dodo and Tegan thought the TARDIS was a real police box and just walked in at the wrong time. Ben and Polly saw the Doctor enter the TARDIS, got curious, followed him, and then he took off before noticing that they were there. Victoria and Nyssa both lost everyone close to them and became companions because they had nowhere else to go. Ian and Barbara were straight-up fucking kidnapped.

There have also been several stowaway companions. The Doctor didn't invite them, but they Insisted. There are very few classic series companions the Doctor chose. In Logopolis, Four even goes on a rant about it. It's actually a big stand-out moment when One invites Vicki to join him and this would go on to be a bit uncommon. Three had Liz and Jo basically assigned to him by UNIT. That's why companions were often called assistants back in the day. They were basically lab assistants. It was literally their job.

I could go on and on about this, but this thing is supposed to be about the four companions that were chosen by another companion: Jamie, Peri, Ace, and Adam.

Yes, I'm counting Adam for this, not because he completely counts as a companion, but because he was invited to be one and basically failed his test run.

Here There Be Spoilers for the episodes these companions debuted in and probably more.

It's funny how the four examples here are split down the middle. The blondes, Polly and Rose, chose companions to come with them, while the gingers, Turlough and Mel, chose companions to replace them. It also splits down the middle in that Jamie and Ace became the definitive companions of their Doctors, while Peri and Adam didn't work well with the Doctors the joined, with Peri not having much time with 5 before constantly bickering with 6, and Adam just failing completely.

I think some of the reason for this seems to be based on the mindset of the companions that picked the companions. Polly and Mel were mainly thinking of the new companion when they chose them. Polly realized that Jamie was in a rough part of history and maybe it would be nice to take him out of it. Mel spent a while bonding with Ace and realized that she could use a Space Dad.

Rose wasn't really thinking when she invited Adam along. She basically did it because she thought he was cute. 9 was never into it, just humoring her, and then they both sort of ditched him on his first trip to the far future. Look, Adam made his own bad decisions and shouldn't have been a companion, but he also shouldn't have been left completely unsupervised in an unfamiliar time period. He got that stupid computer thing in his head because it was basically required to do anything around there, and then decided to be stupid with it.

Meanwhile, Turlough was thinking of the Doctor. 5 didn't handle Tegan's departure well and admitted to being depressed. When he realized he was going to have to leave, Turlough was aware that the Doctor shouldn't be left alone while already feeling depressed and abandoned. So, he assigned Peri as a replacement.

The actual scene where Peri becomes a companion has 5 clearly reluctant. Either he's decided that he wants to be alone or he's just not that interested in her specifically. Turlough telling Peri to keep an on him probably factored in to him accepting her. Strangely, like with Adam, the Doctor took on a new companion whom he didn't like to humor another companion. The difference was that Turlough chose a better companion than Rose did, so Peri stuck around and the Doctor warmed up to her. That also connects to motivation. The reason Adam was the only truly bad choice is that it was made for stupid reasons. Polly and Mel were thinking "the Doctor would be good for this person". Turlough was thinking "this person would be good for the Doctor". Rose just didn't think.

This isn't me bashing Rose, by the way. Everyone's allowed to make bad choices. But, I admit, comparing her to three random classic companions in this situation doesn't make her look good. Rose was a good companion for 9. Her relationship with 10, no matter how much one might enjoy it, might not have been the most emotionally healthy for them. But, she still was a good companion for the most part. She just doesn't have very good judgement when it comes to who makes a good companion.

Also I did sort of accidentally parallel 9/Rose and 5/Turlough. I did not actually mean to do that.

Time Ramvent Day 14: The Arousing It's Colin Baker's 'The Awakening', the tale of a sleepy English village beset by that most terrible of fiends -- war reenactors. But a malign force below the church is out to ensure that the war games will be far more than mere reenactment, and the Doctor joins forces with friends from his past and future to stop the second English Civil War.

(also, I know it's hard to see, but look in the upper left stonework. You'll know it when you see it.)

This question is for Kate, Pollie and Alan.

What are the best traits you guys see in each other?

"Best traits... from an objective or subjective lens? Because I'd say Pollie's best trait is her punch-"

"Kay, they meant personality..." Alan cut him off before she could dig herself into a hole.

"You idiot-!" Pollie punched Kay in the shoulder.

"Shut up! Makes me almost not want to say it."

"Wait! No! Tell me... please..." Pollie put on the most endearing doe eyes she could before receiving a smack on the shoulder.

"You two! Stop it! I'll start if you both can't quiet down alright?" Alan called their attention. He sighed before continuing.

"I think Kay's best trait is easily his intelligence. Ask him somethin' and he'd go on for hours! Of course Kay is very kind! He's one of the bestest friends a man can have... It's so hard to just choose one thing to say is the best about a friend you know?" A gentle smile painted his lips as he looked down on Kay. Kay in turn smiled back.

"Thank you Alan..." Alan ruffled the top of his head before continuing.

"And for Pollie... Even if she's rough sometimes, she looks out for everyone in her own blunt way. I don't think I'd even be alive if it weren't for her! All those days she'd tell me to skip work for the day and rest for a few minutes... she reminded me to live my life." Alan looked into Pollie's grey-blue eyes and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you Pollie."

"It's nothin' you know! You do a lot more for us I think."

"I agree with Pollie for once. You do so much for us Alan."

"Oh you two... if you wanna return the favor, can you at least cut out the arguin'?" He teased lightly.

In unison the two shouted, "No!"

"Alright alright, me next! What I think is Kay's best trait... he just doesn't know when to quit!"

"Hey!"

"I mean it in a good way! I promise! Look, I swear I could lock ya' in a box and you'd find a way to get out... that sorta thing's pretty impressive you know? I wish I could be like that sometimes."

"That's... Thank you?"

"Oh you little plonker of course." Pollie took Kay in her arms and rubbed a fist on the top of his head.

"Stop- stop that!"

"Pollie! That's not very l- ah forget it. That was nice of you though!"

"Yeah yeah. I'll do you next. Alan's best trait is that he's sweeter than molasses. He's Jesus Christ himself I swear!"

"Don't say that! But I appreciate the thought anyways, thanks mate." Alan turned pink in frustration before accepting the compliment with a smile. No matter what he'd say, Pollie would never stop saying what she did anyways, might as well take it in stride.

"It's true though! You forgive everyone... how... How! If I were you I don't know what I'd do... You really are too nice."

"Ohhh... You're really nice too. I think- I just tolerate too much is all. It's not as if I don't get mad."

"I know I know." She gave a teasing punch on his shoulder, a little nudge of acknowledgement.

"Okay Kay, your turn! You had enough time to think! On with it!"

"Oh you- Fine! I'm doing Alan first then."

"Oh come on! Well, if it's Alan I won't complain."

"Alan's best trait is his hard-working attitude I believe. No matter what he will always carry through with a smile! You know somethin' is terrible if he gives up. But he never does. You're gonna be something one day, you know that?"

"Oh Kay... ah you two are really gonna make me cry!"

"Then cry. It's okay if it's with us yeah?"

"Pollie!"

"Just teasing!"

"You wanker! Pollie's best trait has to be hm... Well, there's a lot to hate her for... and a lot to like her for..."

"Get on with it!"

"Maybe I won't! Pollie's best trait has to be her loyalty. Even if she messes up, she always finds a way to make up for it when she can. She's been with us no matter what... I can't be afraid of her stabbing me in the back when she's already proven what she'd do for us. It makes me feel... safe."

"Kay... come here you!" Pollie enveloped him in her arms, giving a tight squeeze.

"I'm gonna die! Let go! Wait-" Despite all his resistance, Kay found himself relaxing into the embrace. Eventually Alan himself joined the hug.

"You two really should be kinder to each other more often yeah? Hate seeing you both fight all the time..."

"Fighting is our thing! You can't take it away from us!"

"More like Pollie's thing... but I can't even remember a time before our fighting so, I guess she's right."
