Beschreibung

Throughout the long-running BBC series Doctor Who, the Doctor has rarely been alone - his companions are essential. This collection of new essays examines the role of the companion as an intermediate between viewers and the Doctor. The contributors discuss who travels with the Doctor and why, how the companions influence the narrative, and how their journeys change them.
