History Characters / BigFinishDoctorWho

* AdaptationExpansion: Characters who appeared briefly in the past are often explored in-depth by BigFinish.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Since BigFinish doesn't have to present itself as a kids' show, it can bring much more drama into the characters' lives than the TV show ever could. This is especially the case with characters like Peri, who gets ''tons'' of character development, and villains like Davros, whose childhood is shown in great detail.

!!Tropes that apply to BigFinishDoctorWho characters in general:

* HiddenDepths: To the point where one-note villains suddenly seem very sympathetic, and easily dismissed companions tend to gain entire lives around them.

'''WARNING! THERE MAY BE UNMARKED SPOILERS!'''

[[foldercontrol]]

* TheBusCameBack: With the notable exception of Dodo, all classic series actors have returned to play their characters. The series has the occasional LongBusTrip as a result as well.

!!Tropes that apply to all BigFinishDoctorWho characters:

* AlternateContinuity: Several timelines are created in BigFinish, which also allows for alternate Doctors.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Nearly every single person, being or background character from the classic TV series gets a chance to shine.

* HiddenDepths: To the point where one-note villains suddenly seem very sympathetic, and easily dismissed companions tend to gain entire lives around them.

[[folder:The Doctor (Four through Eight)]]
!!Fourth Doctor
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/four2_8651.png]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/TomBaker, and briefly by Jon Culshaw (2006)

After a good ten years, someone ''somehow'' finally convinced Creator/TomBaker to join the cast of Creator/BigFinish. Tom says that it was Creator/ElisabethSladen and Louise Jameson who eventually wore him down. Tragically, Lis passed away before a planned series of Four & Sarah Jane stories could be recorded. The Fourth Doctor is by far the loopiest of all regenerations, and freely uses ObfuscatingStupidity and ObfuscatingInsanity to make himself seem even more out-there than he already is. Creator/BigFinish likes to show off his skills as TheChessmaster as well.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Lists Daleks, Cybermen [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E5TheDaemons and Morris dancers]].
* BadLiar: Especially in "The Beautiful People".
* HypocriticalHumor: The Doctor is too modest to talk about how learned he is, and promptly goes on to talk about how great he is in other ways.
* InsufferableGenius
* TheMentor: To Leela.
* ObfuscatingInsanity
* ObfuscatingStupidity
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: "Babblesphere" has him up against a villain who's harmed by inane chatter. Four's extremely suited for the challenge.

!!Fifth Doctor
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fivey_8470.png]]
->'''Soldier:''' ''You are under arrest.''
->'''Fifth Doctor:''' ''Am I? What a surprise! Honestly, what was that? 30 seconds? Well, at least I've got it over with.''

-->Voiced by: Creator/PeterDavison

The [[TheEdwardianEra Edwardian]] cricketer; vulnerable and highly noble. As in [[Characters/DoctorWhoClassicSeriesDoctors the original stories]], he's a friendly -- though very snarky -- guy who's willing to give anyone a chance. Creator/BigFinish tends to also show a [[KnightInSourArmor darker and more bitter]] side of his personality at times, and fully explores his change in attitude after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E6Earthshock "Earthshock"]].

* AccidentalProposal: In "Loups-Garoux", the Doctor promises to be Ileana's new champion (grand heroic speech and all), not realising that it would make him her husband.
* {{Adorkable}}
--> '''Fifth Doctor:''' I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make a... golfing pun.
* ApologizesALot: And even when he's being sarcastic, he still comes across as sounding sincere, simply by virtue of being such a QuintessentialBritishGentleman. This became an odd mix of silly and heart-wrenching when he rather off-handedly apologised to a Cyberman for not being able to put it out of its misery.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Completely embodies this trope, especially in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho066TheGame "The Game"]] -- much more so than he realises. It turns out [[spoiler: he's personally responsible for having peacefully ended 36 wars, though from his perspective, he hasn't done it yet]].
* BadLiar: He's much too polite to properly lie, and laments how he used to be better at it in his previous lives.
* BerserkButton: Having lost Adric to the Cybermen. He gets ''really very shouty'' when he's then roped up in the ''creation'' of the Cybermen against his will, and they turn out to be [[spoiler: made possible thanks to a blueprint scan of his brain]]. Leads to a grand helping of OOCIsSeriousBusiness and ScrewDestiny.
* TheBeautifulElite: Gets into ''serious'' trouble in "Creatures Of Beauty" because of his pretty face -- he lands on a planet where being part of TheBeautifulElite can get you killed.
** Also invoked when he gets mistaken for a Thal.
* BloodSport: Accidentally becomes the star player of one in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho066TheGame "The Game"]].
* CelibateHero: Especially when he's written by Marc Platt, who came up with the infamous looms thing in the novels continuity. Five outright states that women are not his "area".
* [[spoiler: CloningBlues]]: In "Omega".
* DistressedDude: Now often lampshaded by the Doctor, depending on the writer and adventure. His ''very first'' adventure saw Five getting his leg broken (by Six falling on top of him, no less), immediately followed by being kidnapped, bound, tortured, and screaming in agony in the background for an entire scene.
* DoomMagnet: Upon finding out that his last time holding the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E6TheArmageddonFactor Key to Time]] has now threatened the universe again, this Doctor sets out to save reality. Again. Unfortunately, this Doctor's quest to fix that almost instantly [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho117TheJudgementOfIsskar resulted]] in the cataclysm that [[spoiler: made the Martians into the Ice Warriors]]. Whoops.
** And this isn't even going into the fact that this Doctor seems to gather more disasters around him than any of his other incarnations, like in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho165TheBurningPrince "The Burning Prince"]], where the TARDIS just decides to drop the Doctor into the middle of a mess. Because it can.
* ForgetsToEat: When he's distracted by a project, Nyssa sometimes has to force him to remember basic things like sleep and food.
* HijackedByGanon: A very odd example, in that Five ''very'' frequently turns out to be the one responsible in the end for the mass genocide of civilisations, or the creation of murderous races. Entirely by accident, of course, but the trope is played to the letter otherwise. Basically, if a Fifth Doctor episode doesn't disclose the identity of its villain at first, there's a very high chance Five has been accidentally responsible.
** And then there's the ''Key 2 Time'' storyline, which directly reveals [[spoiler: the Doctor is at fault for the Universe being in danger, thanks to his meddling with the Key to Time as the Fourth Doctor]]. And that's before the story begins the ''other'' disasters...
* IgnoredEpiphany: In 1980, when UNIT finds the TARDIS underneath several layers of ancient Pompeii rubble, Five refuses to even see her and decides that he'll only worry about it once it actually happens to him.
* ItNeverGetsAnyEasier: The Doctor's repeated [[KillEmAll encounters with death]] have begun to wear on him. "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho165TheBurningPrince The Burning Prince]]" leaves the Doctor wallowing with guilt over the end result.
-->'''Fifth Doctor:''' Just one... would it have been too much to ask that I'd just... saved... one. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Empire be Praised... Empire be Praised...]]
* KillEmAll
* KnightInSourArmor: Depending on the story, at the least.
* MagneticHero: While he has a few solo adventures with Nyssa, Turlough or Peri, a majority of this Doctor's adventures tend to have an audio-exclusive companion tagging along with Peri. And in Nyssa's case, she's even dragged back to the TARDIS long after she's supposedly left (although it was admittedly only a few weeks for them).
* NotSoDifferent: From Omega. In fact, [[spoiler: Five is responsible for the genocide that Omega remembers committing.]]
* OddFriendship: He and Iris Wildthyme are polar opposites, and he makes a good show of not wanting to be involved in her life... but he did voluntarily spend Christmas in her TARDIS once, and took Tegan, Nyssa and Adric along just for fun. (Iris claims it's all a case of BelligerentSexualTension.)
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: To the point where he confuses a group of German soldiers by naturally speaking textbook German, without any kind of accent, and ''still'' somehow sounding rather suspiciously like an English gentleman.
* TheSnarkKnight: Often hand-in-hand with the status of this Doctor's personality.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable
* WalkingDisasterArea
* WarriorPoet: He's quite fond of poetry, and at one point franctically recites ''Literature/TheRimeOfTheAncientMariner'' to block out mind control.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: ''All the time''.

!!Sixth Doctor
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sixie_6826.png]]
->''Am I not permitted an occasional moment of melodrama?''

-->Voiced by: Creator/ColinBaker

(In)famous for being a [[DarkerAndEdgier darker and grittier]] Doctor, Six is allowed in Creator/BigFinish to grow as a character and expand beyond his [[WhatTheHellHero unstable origins]] of the TV show. He's still an insufferable know-it-all with a fondness for creative insults (not to mention the worst crimes against fashion in all of time and space), but with plenty of {{Lampshading}} this time around. His new adventures notably show a kindness and depth that often was [[AbortedArc not there in the series]].

* ActingForTwo: Creator/ColinBaker gets to toy with this in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho169TheWrongDoctors "The Wrong Doctors"]], where you have two versions of the Sixth Doctor 'onscreen' at the same time. Rumor has it they wanted a third, but the studio would have imploded from the awesome.
* BatmanGambit: A big fan of them.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Iris Wildthyme, quite a bit more strongly than she manages with most other incarnations of him. The fact that [[spoiler: her future self]] manages to hypnotise him into fancying her in "The Wormery" certainly helps.
* BigDamnKiss:
-->'''Doctor''': If I was ''really'' the Doctor, would I do... ''THIS?'' ''(grabs [[spoiler: Sally-Anne]] into a deep kiss)''
-->'''MonsterOfTheWeek''': ''(Absolutely stunned)'' Noooooo. No. No. No. The Doctor certainly wouldn't do ''that''.
* BreakTheHaughty: His stories with Peri tend to be light-hearted and have very little CharacterDevelopment. His StoryArc with Evelyn, however, gradually breaks him. "Jubilee" is the first story to really properly traumatise Six, after which "Arrangements For War" sees him emotionally going off the deep end. His main arc revolves around him being forced to come to terms with his crass and often flippant attitude and the severe consequences of his behaviour.
* ChangedMyJumper: A chronic offender with the infamous coat, but he has the good sense to change into more practical clothes at times. Notably, in his first story with Evelyn (i.e. the arc that was written deliberately to give him CharacterDevelopment), he changes into a Third Doctor style velvet-and-ruffles ensemble for a visit to the Queen of England.
** From "Real Time" up until "The Wrong Doctors", Six is seen wearing a blue outfit that, while very similar in design taste to his normal outfit, is a series of tasteful and non-clashing blue hues. Really, it's quite nice. (Started out as a case of LimitedAnimation, since "Real Time" was also released as a semi-animated webcast. None of the artists involved felt like drawing Six's coat, so the blue hues were created as a compromise. The audio-only edition has a short scene to explain it: Six thought Evelyn wanted to see [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E6RevelationOfTheDaleks his "mourning" coat]]. She was curious about his morning coat.)
* CharacterDevelopment: ''Heaps''. His stories with Peri have him very similar to the way he was in the TV series, but episodes taking place after that show a much softer side of him. He grows to care very deeply for Evelyn, and has no problem saying he ''loves'' her -- as a friend -- in "Real Time", pretty early on in their StoryArc.
* [[spoiler: CloningBlues]]: In "Project: Lazarus".
* CombatPragmatist: Possibly his most defining trait.
* CutenessProximity: Unlike Five, who doesn't care for cats one way or the other, Six gleefully defaults to baby-speak when he's near them.
* DrinkingContest: Gets into one, ''in song'', in "Doctor Who And The Pirates".
* FreakyFridayFlip: With Davros!
* FutureMeScaresMe: Once Six has had enough CharacterDevelopment to admit that he's a JerkAss, he also quietly reflects on how his next incarnation will not be very emotionally accessible either, from what he's seen.
* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: ''Especially'' when frustrated or angry. In the "The One Doctor", one character remarks that talking to him is "like arguing with a bloody thesaurus!" Later in the same episode, he loses his willingness to debate altogether...
-->'''Sixth Doctor:''' If I have to endure another insult —-
-->'''Banto Zame:''' Oh here we go, [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness another voyage 'round the English language...]]
* HypocriticalHumor: His "do as I say, not as I do" attitude is PlayedForLaughs with great frequency in Creator/BigFinish. This contributed ''hugely'' to him getting RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.
-->'''Peri''': Don't shout, Doctor! There might be-\\
'''Sixth Doctor''': [[IResembleThatRemark SHOUT?!]] [[HypocriticalHumor I don't SHOUT!]] People who have to resort to shouting to get what they want are merely demonstrating the inherent paucity of their argument! It's SOMETHING THAT I NEVER, '''NEVER'''-\\
'''Peri''': All right, Doctor!!\\
'''Sixth Doctor''': Point made, I think.
* {{I Am Song}}: In the MusicalEpisode [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho043DoctorWhoAndThePirates "Doctor Who And The Pirates"]], he sings a truly ''fantastic'' MajorGeneralSong.
* IHatePastMe: Calls Five "tediously noble". To his face.
** Also played with in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho169TheWrongDoctors "The Wrong Doctors"]], where you have the Sixth Doctor encounter... [[ActingForTwo the Sixth Doctor]]. The Sixth Doctor who's already been through his big emotional Big Finish StoryArc (distinguished by his blue outfit and calmer dialogue) finds his younger self to be pretty annoying.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Six takes more to alcohol than most Doctors, and has a fondness for hanging out in bars and pubs, sometimes to cope with tragedy.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Unlike the hard-to-see-but-still-there heart of gold [[Characters/DoctorWhoClassicSeriesDoctors seen in the TV series]], Creator/ColinBaker's Sixth Doctor in Creator/BigFinish shows an incredible empathy toward his companions when the situation calls for it. Oh, he's still very much alien in how he expresses it, but his treatment of Dr. Evelyn Smythe shows the change of his character from his original premiere in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E7TheTwinDilemma the 1980s]].
* JerkassFacade: The ending of his segment in "Project: Lazarus", which segues directly into the start of "Arrangements For War", is all about this trope. Evelyn doesn't put up with it.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage
* MusicalEpisode: "Doctor Who And The Pirates" is a fantastic one.
* NotSoDifferent: From Davros. The two get a few episodes together with fantastic verbal sparring, and the trope eventually culminates in a FreakyFridayFlip, of all things.
** And during his brief OddFriendship with "Bloody" Queen Mary I, he becomes quite terrified when he realises how similar they are.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Weaponised a few times over.
* StealthPun: ''Extremely'' fond of them, often in the middle of a hurricane of more obvious puns.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's plenty mean towards Peri just like in the TV series, but when he meets Evelyn (after Peri leaves the TARDIS), she mellows him out ''a lot'' with her no-nonsense attitude, her warm demeanor and her chocolate cakes. The fact that Creator/BigFinish insists on [[BreakTheCutie breaking Evelyn over and over]] certainly helps, and she and Six become very emotionally close in the process. By the time he unexpectedly runs into his old self (in a bit of time travel mishap involving Mel), the contrast is ''very'' noticable.
* TorturePorn: "Jubilee" sees him broken more thoroughly than ''any'' other Doctor in ''any'' episode. He loses his mind, his [[spoiler: companion]] and his [[spoiler: legs]], and that's just the start of it.
** "Project: Lazarus" also revels in the trope.
* TragicBromance: With Evelyn.

!!Seventh Doctor
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seven_1599.png]]
-> '''Seventh Doctor:''' ''Are you looking for the butterfly?''
-> '''Ace:''' ''What, the one who beats its wings and it tips the balance so a hurricane forms? There isn't one, is there?''
-> '''Seventh Doctor:''' ''Not often. We just tell the butterflies that to keep them happy.''

-->Voiced by: Creator/SylvesterMcCoy

In the TV show, the Seventh Doctor started out as a bumbling goof and developed into a very manipulative and enigmatic figure after a while. Creator/BigFinish embraces both concepts whole-heartedly. Stories with Mel, taking place early on in his tenure, provide excellent comic relief and rely heavily on the IndyPloy. Stories with Ace, taking place later in Seven's life, see him out-planning things like Elder Gods, Daleks and ancient Cyborg Vampires -- much like he tended to do in the TV show anyway, but without worries of budget this time around.

* TheCameo: Occasionally, he shows up in Six's episodes to fix things after Six messes up badly. Two of those appearances are completely unannounced and uncredited.
* CelibateHero: Keeping in line with the Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures novels, Seven is entirely celibate in every way. This becomes a huge plot point in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho039BangBangABoom "Bang-Bang-A-Boom!"]], with plenty of lampshading.
* CharacterDevelopment: Seven travelling with Mel is a bumbling goof who can't talk his way out of a wet paper bag. Seven travelling with Ace (and Hex) is a manipulative bastard who plays with the universe like it's his favourite toy. Seven travelling alone, at the end of his life, is a deeply traumatised man who no longer plays the spoons or mixes his metaphors, which his enemies gleefully mock him for. Since the stories are made in whatever order Creator/BigFinish likes, this can be played for a very jarring effect: a deeply emotional story with Ace can be followed immediately by a silly {{panto}} farce with Mel.
* TheChessmaster: This Doctor actually decided to juggle two [[spoiler: [=TARDISes=] (Tardii?) with two different sets of companions to take on the Elder Gods of the universe]]. Needless to say, the companions were not happy when this all [[spoiler: went horribly wrong]].
* CreepyGood: From "The Fearmonger" all the way up to "Project: Lazarus" (his very final adventure in his Seventh regeneration), this Doctor is ''scary''. The episode "Master", in particular, shows how terrifying he can be.
* GoodIsNotNice: Seven considers himself ''much'' less forgiving than Six ever was, and warns enemies who've only had to deal with Six before that he won't treat them as kindly.
* HamToHamCombat: His battle with the legendary [[TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Pat Quinn]] in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho039BangBangABoom "Bang-Bang-A-Boom!"]].
* {{Malaproper}}: This oft-forgotten character trait does tend to return from time to time, either when he travels with Mel, or when he tries to [[ObfuscatingStupidity play the fool]].
* NotSoDifferent: From the Master. More than he'd like to know, in fact.
* PapaWolf: If you threaten anyone that travels with this Doctor, you will most likely pay for it. And soon.
* PinballProtagonist: Very frequently during his adventures with Mel, since he hasn't quite developed his skills as TheChessmaster yet at that point in time. "The Fires Of Vulcan", "Bang-Bang-a-Boom!", "Flip-Flop" and "Unregenerate!" are notable examples.
* SelfDeprecation: Seven has been given a few chances to unknowingly snark at [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie his eventual fate]]. Perhaps the most specific was while he tried to escape from an airlock that decided to play opera at him for no reason.
-->'''Seventh Doctor:''' I REFUSE TO DIE! TO ELEVATOR MUSIC!!
* ThouShaltNotKill: Seven hates his past self (especially his Fourth) for how carelessly he used to murder his enemies. Although he'll gladly subject them to a terrifying FateWorseThanDeath, murder is out of the question for him. Naturally, he keeps being placed in situations where he ''should'' murder innocent people just to preserve the web of time, and although he tries a few times over, he can never bring himself to pull the trigger. It's become a very morbid RunningGag, most notably used in "Flip-Flop", "Master" and "Night Thoughts".
* TricksterMentor: While the so-called Cartmel Master Plan has been left behind, the Doctor very much remains this in his adventures with Ace (and later, with Hex as well).
* XanatosSpeedChess: When his status as TheChessmaster is called into question or his plans blow up in his face, Seven can flex his muscles in this pretty easily... [[IndyPloy sometimes]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Often so much called out on the collateral damage of his plans. Especially with Hex, who seems to be far less tolerant of the Doctor's [[XanatosSpeedChess plans.]]

!!Eighth Doctor
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eight2_475_1356.jpg]]
-> ''You don't think I'm going to do that fully clothed, do you?''

-->Voiced by: Creator/PaulMcGann

Bouncy, chatty and very fond of humans, the Eighth Doctor was fleshed out considerably in Creator/BigFinish and quickly became the series' BreakoutCharacter. After the new TV series stated that the Doctor would end up committing double genocide in the Last Great Time War, Big Finish started slowly but steadily [[BreakTheCutie breaking him]]. Aside from the monthly audios, Eight has his own separate series (called the New Eighth Doctor Adventures) which takes place at a later time in the same continuity and eventually sees him outgrowing his Victorian look.

This is the main timeline for the Eighth Doctor, according to the parent series. He's not the same Eighth Doctor as the one in the Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures novels, as the timelines diverged after [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie the TV movie]] -- though in several stories, during times of extreme distress, he gets FlashSideways glimpses of his alternates selves' adventures.

* AccidentalProposal: His friendship with HistoricalDomainCharacter Edith Swan-Neck got just a little bit out of hand.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Over and over and over and ''over''. Saving Charley Pollard, in his first episode, turned out to be a very bad idea -- her being alive starts to unravel the universe after a while.
* AmnesiacHero: Finds new and exciting ways to contract amnesia every few stories. "Terror Firma", in particular, takes this trope and runs with it for massive horror and awesome.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: A mutual one with Charlotte. They both mean ''very'' different things by it, and the Doctor is extremely uncomfortable with Charley's "yearning" for him.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Has a ''seriously'' short attention span.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: In "Dark Eyes", Eight realises that he's at war with the Daleks, and in "Dark Eyes 2", he makes it quite clear that he does '''not''' want to get involved in any war between the Daleks and the Time Lords. Despite all his attempts to avoid it, he ''has'' to get involved in it, whether he likes it or not. [[Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor "The Night of the Doctor"]] provides plenty of nice opportunities for DramaticIrony.
* BigDamnKiss: With [[spoiler: Charlotte]]. Completely played for BodyHorror.
* BodyHorror: All the time. "Scherzo", "Something Inside", "Mary's Story"...
* BreakTheCutie: Gradually gets broken. Notable moments include "Neverland", "Zagreus", "Scherzo", "The Last", "Terror Firma", "Orbis" and "To The Death". "Dark Eyes" is essentially him dealing with everything he's dealt with.
** DownerEnding: And just remember, "The Night of the Doctor" puts the cherry on top of the breaking sundae with the Doctor giving up.
* BreakoutCharacter: To the point where the release of "Dark Eyes" ''broke the Big Finish website''.
* CharacterDevelopment: Starts out as a very DitzyGenius, and becomes more and more traumatised as the episodes progress.
** After the TV movie, he's an enthusiastic science-adventurer. By Dark Eyes, he's a bitter man looking desperately for hope. By The Night of the Doctor, he's completely broken, trying to do everything he can to hold himself together as the man he used to be.
* ChickMagnet: Companions, Queens, {{Eldritch Abomination}}s...
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: To Charley's constant frustration, he really wants to make a HeroicSacrifice to save her, time and time again. To the point where ''the TARDIS'' starts scolding him for it.
** Combined with his {{Determinator}} status, this has led to ''very'' long stints of him trying to help people he has nothing to do with. Notably in "Orbis" and "Prisoner Of The Sun".
* CloudCuckooLander: Seriously. His mind's inner sanctuary features a croquet course and a waterslide.
* CreepyMonotone: He usually jumps right into LargeHam when he's angry, and EvilIsHammy when he's NotHimself. In some rare cases, most notably in "The Natural History Of Fear", we get to hear Paul [=McGann=] do a Creepy Monotone -- and it's goddamn terrifying. In some ''very'' rare cases, Eight goes for this trope when he's both completely lucid and completely serious, as Davros found out...
-->'''Eighth Doctor:''' You tell me all this, and you expect me to help you.
-->'''Davros:''' Yes, Doctor.
-->'''Eighth Doctor:''' ... How. How can you expect... ... Davros.
-->'''Davros:''' Yes, Doctor?
-->'''Eighth Doctor:''' [[spoiler: I'm going to kill you.]]
* CulturedBadass: Really loves poetry, occasionally straying into WarriorPoet. Gets forced to recite Poe's ''Literature/TheRaven'' by giant death robots in "Nevermore". He's friends with Wordsworth, and takes on Creator/MaryShelley as a companion at one point.
* DashedPlotline: He has a very long life, and spends long stretches of time without companions. Big Finish occasionally gives a glimpse into what his travels were like before his first episode, or in between story arcs. The best example is "Mary's Story", which shows him both long before "Storm Warning" and sometime after "Dark Eyes".
* DeadpanSnarker: As a coping mechanism when he's in extreme danger. His enemies note that "he uses it to suppress his fear".
* DespairEventHorizon: Crosses it in "To The Death", which leads into "Dark Eyes". Which ultimately leads to him being [[spoiler: DrivenToSuicide]] in "The Night of the Doctor".
* {{Determinator}}:
-->'''Eighth Doctor:''' Because I'm the Doctor, and whatever happens, whatever the odds, I never ever NEVER give up. Brace yourself, Charley!
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: {{Averted}} in "The Chimes Of Midnight". The MonsterOfTheWeek tries to invoke this trope; Eight promptly throws the teacup to the floor in defiance.
* DitzyGenius: ''Very''. He's still incredibly smart.
* EvilIsHammy: Whenever he is NotHimself.
* FlashSideways: In "Zagreus", he's briefly able to see all other versions of his Eighth self. The ''Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures'' series freaks him right the hell out. Since he's also completely losing his mind at the time, though, it's fair to assume he didn't remember it.
* GeniusSweetTooth: Gets very excited about cotton candy and chunky monkey ice cream. Drinks his tea with impossible amounts of sugar, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E2InvasionOfTheDinosaurs just like Three]].
* ForeverWar: Played with. In ''Dark Eyes 2'', the Master points out he's been at war with the Daleks, ever since he first landed Skaro. The Doctor states he is not, and he has no choice but to stop the Daleks' atrocities. But the Master claims he can't help himself and that in doing so he's become a one man army, and this '''before''' he regenerates into the War Doctor.
* FutureMeScaresMe: In "Mary's Story", a very young Eighth Doctor (during his travels with Samson and Gemma, before he met Charley) meets an Eight from sometime after "Dark Eyes". Horrifyingly burned, hallucinating, and unable to regenerate. He gets better, of course, but neither is even remotely thrilled at meeting their other selves -- they agree that they just annoy each other.
* GoingNative: "Orbis".
* GothicHorror: His natural habitat.
* TheGreatOffscreenWar: WordOfGod has it that the Last Great Time War will stay off-screen forever. Due to a case of TrollingCreator, "Dark Eyes" still came ''this'' close to diving into it.
** "The Night of the Doctor" tapped the glass, showing [[spoiler: Eight stayed out of the conflict as long as he could]] while it was in full swing, and "The Day of the Doctor" ''did'' give viewers a real on-screen view of the Time War... its most violent and final battle, to be exact.
* HamToHamCombat: With Zagreus.
* HellBentForLeather: After he gets ''thoroughly'' broken in "To The Death", and after already spending close to a millennium in his eighth body, he finally drops the Victorian ensemble and starts wearing a WWI navy-style leather peacoat halfway through "Dark Eyes". Paul [=McGann=] helped design the outfit and showed off the new look a few times in the years leading up to the outfit change... even before Creator/BigFinish was sure whether or not the BBC would approve of the new CD covers. This costume later degenerates to a messy fusion of both it and his old clothes. It happens after he's had to deal with the eruption of the Time War, growing very weary, battered, until he can't even find time to keep his attire tidy, and his appearance goes to seed and shambles.
* HeroicSacrifice: Tries to make one every couple of episodes.
* HeroicSuicide: He properly commits suicide twice, both times to save reality. (He gets better, of course.)
** ForegoneConclusion: But the [[spoiler:third time ''will'' do him in.]]
* HotSpringsEpisode: He stages one halfway through "Dark Eyes", when he's past the point of emotional collapse, gone right off the deep end, and just needs something, ''anything'' to feel better.
* [[spoiler:ILetGwenStacyDie]]: While the Doctor's lost companions before, [[spoiler:Lucie's]] death hits him especially hard, not least because he literally watches her death by HeroicSacrifice. As he puts it, "People die and the Doctor moves on, but not this time." (Creator/NicholasBriggs said they killed her so horribly precisely because they wanted to totally break him.)
* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Can't resist making a snide remark about Six's taste in clothes when they meet for the first time.
* IHatePastMe: After his travels with Lucie, a very bitter Eight encounters a ''much'' younger version of himself, who hadn't even met Charlotte yet. He tells his younger self to get out, and loathes the fact that they need to spend time together. (Eight also meets a younger self during his travels with Lucie, when the other is travelling with Charley and C'rizz, but they actually get along quite well and spend a nice evening playing poker. Just goes to show how deeply Lucie's absence ended up affecting him.)
* ImportantHaircut: [[http://bigfinish.com/releases/v/new-eighth-doctor-box-set-1-doctor-who---dark-eyes-792 Got one]] around the "Dark Eyes" story arc, which also allowed Paul [=McGann=] to do new promo pictures without having to wear the movie wig again. He keeps the shorter hair until the end of his life, though it regrows a bit messily from lack of grooming when he's run ragged by the Time War.
* {{Keet}}: {{Lampshaded}} in "Caerdroia", when his {{Keet}} side manifests itself as a separate person. (Charley nicknames it "Tigger".)
* LossOfIdentity: In "Zagreus".
* LoveYouAndEverybody: His definition of "love" is a bit muddy, as is his tendency to make out with people for no reason. Everyone calls him out on it.
--> He lunged forward, making to kiss [Charley] full on the lips, but she dodged him at the last moment. She knew he meant nothing by it... which was what bothered her, rather.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: PlayedForDrama. Charley falls madly in love with him because he's such a charming CuddleBug, and he's unwilling to address the issue until it's much too late.
* MessianicArchetype: Most notably in "Neverland".
* MindRape: PlayedWith in "Caerdroia" and "Phobos".
* MrFanservice: Loses his shirt with some frequency. Naturally smells like honey.
* NotSoDifferent: From the Monk, with plenty of GreyAndGreyMorality.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: At the end of "To The Death", he [[spoiler: promises the Daleks he'll kill ''all of them'' if given the chance, he can't forgive a fellow Time Lord (the Monk) anymore, and he's absolutely roaring with anger and grief]]. The first steps towards the Last Great Time War.
* ParentalSubstitute: To [[spoiler: Gemma and Samson]]. They call him "dad".
* PhraseCatcher: People [[Film/WithnailAndI calling him a "ponce"]] quickly became a running gag, both in and out of universe.
* PungeonMaster: Extremely fond of them, even musing at one point that he picked some horrible FamousLastWords to go out on.
* SanitySlippage: In "Zagreus" and "Minuet In Hell".
* SenseLossSadness: During the eight episodes of the Divergent Universe arc, he's forced to live in a world without time. He compares the feeling to losing a body part. When he gets back to the normal universe, regaining his senses makes him so bouncy and happy that it even freaks out ''[[spoiler:Davros]]''.
* ScrewYourself: There's an ''interesting'' Christmas poem in one of the Big Finish "Short Trips" books, in which Eight merrily tries to kiss all his former selves with the help of some mistletoe. (And succeeds with a few of them.)
* SharingABody: With [[spoiler: Zagreus]] in "Zagreus", and with [[spoiler: Charley]] in "Scherzo".
* ShellShockedVeteran: After "To The Death". And the war is only just beginning.
* ShirtlessScene: Gets the occasional one.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: This particularly becomes a plot point in "The Next Life".
* SteamPunk: Gives his sonic screwdriver [[http://i.imgur.com/ADTjLhI.jpg a SteamPunk makeover]] after a while.
* SurvivorGuilt: Again, and again, and again -- most prominently after "Orbis" and after "To The Death". And he hasn't even gotten to the Last Great Time War yet...
* [[spoiler: TakingYouWithMe]]: With Morbius.
* TemptingFate: In ''Dark Eyes 2'', he flat out states that he "will not be part of an insane war across the time lines." And this is ''before'' the Last Great Time War actually starts.
* ThinkingOutLoud: Eight often suddenly notices he's soliloquising, and considers it a bad habit. He even does it at times when Charley is standing right next to him, thanks to his ''rampant'' AttentionDeficitOohShiny.
* TimeSkip: With great frequency -- Eight only having one TV adventure gives the writers unlimited freedom in this regard. He notably spends [[spoiler: 600 years]] on Orbis, completely GoingNative.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Eight likes to pretend that he's this, whenever he's being tortured, as a coping mechanism. He keeps it up for quite a while in "Something Inside", until he can't cope any longer and breaks down screaming and whimpering. In "Memory Lane", he's getting better at it, and bitterly asks his torturers for some more pain (rather than give in).
** One notable instance had him starting to ramble about ''JustAMinute'' to his captor, [[{{Adorkable}} of all things]].
* TorturePorn: "Zagreus", which has him coping with extreme LossOfIdentity and has Charley [[spoiler: running him through with a sword]], and its direct sequel "Scherzo", which jumps straight into BodyHorror {{Gorn}} and has Charley [[spoiler: slitting his throat]]. "Something Inside" is pretty much "TorturePorn: The Episode".
* TragicBromance: With Lucie. [[spoiler: Her death severely traumatises him, and leads to him adopting a less classic and more pragmatic look]].
* VerbalTic: Starting sentences with "You know...", repeating words or people's names very quickly when he wants to convey something important.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Lucie.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: "The Resurrection Of Mars" is all about this trope.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: After "Orbis".

[[folder:The Doctor (Other)]]
Doctors who, either for copyright reasons or because of ActorExistenceFailure, can't appear in BigFinish played by their original actors. Instead, they feature in prose stories or in smaller parts, with their dialogue voiced by whoever is telling the story.

!!First Doctor
--> Dialogue voiced by various actors
--> Voiced by: WilliamRussell (2013)

One gets heaps of CharacterDevelopment through flashbacks and Companion Chronicles, from his earliest days on Gallifrey to his final adventures with his TV series companions. He was the first Doctor outside the monthly range to get his own original audio companion, Oliver.

* DealWithTheDevil: As revealed in "Master", [[spoiler: he once murdered a boy to save the Master's life, when they were both very young children. While sleeping that night, he made a deal with Death (appearing to him in a dream), selling out his friend and transferring his deed and his memories to the Master instead. He never realised what had happened.]]
* FishOutOfWater: On 1960's Earth.
* KleptomaniacHero
* MeasuringTheMarigolds: Back on Gallifrey, he once wrote a paper dissecting the concept of love on a neurological level, proving that the whole idea is nothing but chemicals. His teacher gave him a rubbish grade and told him he'd missed the point.
* PapaWolf: Towards Susan.

!!Second Doctor
--> Dialogue voiced by various actors
--> Voiced by: FrazerHines (2013)

Stories with Two tend to be sweet and relatively drama-free, staying extremely close to the atmosphere of his TV series episodes.

* {{Ambadassador}}: Much prefers making peace to fighting.
* BowtiesAreCool: Two is the very first Doctor to catch a glimpse (a brief psychic vision) of his Eleventh self, with the copyright issues temporarily worked around for the 50th anniversary. He's ''quite'' pleased with his future self's fashion sense.
* TheSlowPath: In "Shadow Of Death", he stays inside the base for [[spoiler: a few years]] to have a chat with the MonsterOfTheWeek.

!!Third Doctor
--> Dialogue voiced by various actors
--> Voiced by: Tim Treloar (2013)

Creator/BigFinish offers a bit more of a glimpse into the Third Doctor's psyche than the TV series did, showing strong concern for his companions on top of his usual suave way of life.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Iris Wildthyme (as usual). Three manages to ''weaponise'' it, and manipulates her by taking her out to dinner.
* AccidentalProposal: After [[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E5TheGreenDeath Jo left him]], he asked Iris to come travel with him for a while. She interpreted it as a marriage proposal. He promptly retracted the offer.
** Also counts as a stealthy ActorAllusion, since Jo and Iris are both played by Creator/KatyManning.
* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Five is quite embarassed by his old collection of frilly shirts. Eleven outright calls Three "Oscar Wilde on a bad day".
* LongGame: In order to protect Jo, he [[spoiler: sets events in motion that would only come into play decades later]].
* NoodleIncident: Apparently, Jo and Three like to go out ballroom dancing on Saturday nights with Benton.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gets a grand one from Jo in "Find And Replace".

!!Ninth Doctor
--> Dialogue voiced by NicholasBriggs (2013)

In cooperation with licence holders [=AudioGo=], Creator/BigFinish made Nine the central character of the Destiny Of The Doctor story "Night of the Whisper".

* BriefAccentImitation: The Doctor does an American one, pretending to be a thug.
* CatchPhrase: The Doctor says "Fantastic" twice. The first time he says it sarcastically, the first time Rose has ever heard him do that.
* CharacterNameAlias: The Doctor uses [[DixonOfDockGreen George Dixon]] as an alias, and then chastises Rose later on for not knowing the name.
* GadgeteerGenius
* ItIsDehumanising: When the truth about the Whisper comes out, the Doctor seems to make a point of saying "it", in contrast with [=MacNeil=].
* OopNorth
* WriteBackToTheFuture: Does this with the 5th Doctor in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho081TheKingmaker The Kingmaker]].

!!Tenth Doctor
--> Dialogue voiced by Creator/CatherineTate (2013)

In cooperation with licence holders [=AudioGo=], Creator/BigFinish made Ten the central character of the Destiny Of The Doctor story ''Death's Deal''.

!!Eleventh Doctor
--> Dialogue voiced by various actors

In cooperation with licence holders [=AudioGo=], Creator/BigFinish made Eleven the central character of the Destiny Of The Doctor arc.

* TheCameo: Messages recorded by Eleven appear briefly in each Destiny Of The Doctor episode.
* ContinuityCavalcade: He lists his top 5 enemies as Ice Warriors, Ood... [[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E4NightmareOfEden Mandrels]]... [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E5Timelash Bandrils]]... and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E1Galaxy4 Chumbleys]].
* HelpYourselfInThePast
* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Towards Three... but averted with Six, since he still ''loves'' his old technicolour coat.
* JustForPun: Ice Warriors are cool! ... Get it?
* PlotCoupon: He asks each Doctor to prevent the central item of the episode from being destroyed, gathering them all.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Alternate Doctors]]
Alternate Doctors who were crafted for the purpose of "what if?" stories.

!!Alternate First Doctor
-->Voiced by: Geoffrey Bayldon (2003, 2008)

An alternate incarnation of the Doctor who never chose to leave Gallifrey in the first place. Instead, this Doctor (who is [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep still known as the Doctor]]) spent his time in pocket universes and interacting with the people of Earth, writing down what happened in historical novels. However, after a time, he eventually did leave in a TARDIS with his granddaughter Susan (many, many years after he would have done so in other media). His choices and actions taken, however, weren't tempered by being a grumpy young man, stubborn to keep time intact. So instead, we wound up with spacefaring sailing vessels cruising through the solar system in the Victorian Era. Whoops. His story's told in "Auld Mortality" and "A Storm of Angels".

* CoolOldGuy: While nowhere near as grumpy or (potentially) action-oriented as William Hartnell's version of the character, this Doctor takes a childlike glee in exploring the universe and wants to share it with everyone.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In spite of never leaving Gallifrey, much less exiling himself into the time vortex, the Doctor is still known as the Doctor. Even to the Time Lords, [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep which brings up a potentially interesting question]]... that's basically ignored anyhow.
* FailedASpotCheck: He doesn't ''really'' notice the problems he's caused with his meddling in the time stream until it's finally shoved in his face.
* UnscrupulousHero: One of the things retained from the Hartnell's First Doctor. While he adores Susan and cannot stand to see people brought to harm, he also doesn't see the problem with altering history or [[spoiler:draining power from the ship that rescued him and Susan from death in space to repower his TARDIS. While it's running into serious problems itself.]]
* WhatHaveIDone: Upon realizing he's kinda screwed over the natural flow of history permanently and possibly even doomed humanity.

!!Alternate Third Doctor
-->Voiced by: Creator/DavidWarner (2003, 2008)

An alternate incarnation of the Doctor who accidentally arrived for his banishment to Earth a few decades too late. This Doctor appeared in two Creator/BigFinish Unbound tales: "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoUnboundE2SympathyForTheDevil Sympathy for the Devil]]" and [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoUnboundE8MastersOfWar "Masters of War"]] -- the former dealing with the consequences to the Earth over the Doctor's inability to interfere with the events of time, with the latter showing off how the ''Daleks'' evolved without the Doctor's interference. Took on the Brigadier as a companion, astonishingly.

* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: According to the cover art to [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoUnboundE8MastersOfWar The Masters of War]], this Doctor seems to wear near-Victorian-era apparel, while having a hairstyle right out of the 1880s. Complete with [[HotbloodedSideburns muttonchops]].
* BadassGrandpa
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* TheChessmaster: He and Alistair are extremely at home with military tactics.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DealWithTheDevil: In his two appearances, this Doctor makes a deal with the Master and the Daleks respectively. [[WhatTheHellHero He gets called out on it both times]], but is wary of the Master in the first place, and the Daleks are strangely reasonable''(ish)'' in this altered universe.
* TheExile: The Time Lords tried to do this to the Doctor, much like his canonical version. Luckily, a well-placed nuke kicks the TARDIS back to normal. Amusingly, perhaps out of spite, the Doctor's exile was simply being given a limiter that kept it from moving through time, or away from Earth (with, of course, the Doctor's knowledge of how to fix this ripped from his head) rather than being stripped from knowing how to work the TARDIS at all.
* TheFettered: This Doctor very calmly states that his job is to protect the oppressed. If the Daleks want him to stop fighting them, they should stop being the oppressor.
* ForWantOfANail: All because this Doctor wasn't around in the Seventies ([[RunningGag or was it the Eighties?]]), the world has become surprisingly dark and horrible. Mankind certainly still exists, so UNIT has done their job the best they can even without the Doctor, but the world shows its scars. Much of downtown London, for example, has been replaced by a rather large crater thanks to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E2InvasionOfTheDinosaurs UNIT thwarting a plan to wipe humanity from existence to replace them with dinosaurs]]. The [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadFromSpace plastic purges]] of the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E1TerrorOfTheAutons 1970s]] are another perfect example, although strangely, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno Stahlman's Gas]] is [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking considered a hot commodity and quite useful]].
* NiceShoes: In a [[CreditsGag stinger]] following [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoUnboundE2SympathyForTheDevil Sympathy for the Devil]], the Doctor takes the time to complain that his shoes [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie don't fit at all]].
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Actually subverted somewhat in "Sympathy for the Devil" in that the Doctor uses it as an excuse to get close to an injured man to obtain more information.
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman
* LighterAndSofter: This Third Doctor is a whole lot nicer than Pertwee (though just as snarky), thanks to his exile only lasting a few hours, as opposed to a few years.
* WhatTheHellHero: ...teaming up with ''Daleks''? Even the Brigadier calls the Doctor out on this one, although the Daleks actually aren't nearly as bad in this universe.

!!Alternate Future Doctor
-> ''If I told you I'd have to kill you.''

-->Voiced by David Collings (2003)

You know how the Doctor has, most times, generally been about saving people? And at all costs, as many people as possible? Yeah, this one's not so much. Time has passed for this Doctor (implied that he's somewhere within his last regenerations), and time has hardned him quite a bit. Only appears in the audio drama [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoUnboundE3FullFathomFive Full Fathom Five]].

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:He's trapped in the bottom of an undersea base and the woman who he adopted as his daughter has just killed him. And she's going to keep killing him until his regenerations are all spent and gone. On the other hand, though, his daughter actually kinda has a point]].
* KnightTemplarParent: The Doctor has little problem with risking his own life, but he absolutely refuses to let his adopted daughter Ruth do the same.
* YouLookFamiliar: David Collings appeared as cute, fragile Poul in "The Robots Of Death" (and its not-Creator/BigFinish audio spinoff "Kaldor City").

!!Alternate Valeyard / The Doctor
->''Don't call me the Doctor.''

-->Voiced by: Michael Jayston (2003)

Only appearing in "[[{{Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoUnboundE4HeJestsAtScars}} He Jests at Scars]]", this ''alternate'' Valyard is the end result of what might have happened had the Valeyard actually ''won'' the events of [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS23E4TheUltimateFoe}} The Ultimate Foe]], thus becoming the Doctor himself. Rather than gallivant around the universe like the Doctor would normally do, this Valeyard-Doctor instead decided to run around, blowing everything out of existence -- eventually killing ''every single one of his previous incarnations.''

* ByronicHero
* EvilCounterpart: Subverted for perhaps the only time in the franchise, seeing how he's finally the real article.
* EvilFeelsGood
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: This Doctor was finally defeated (technically) by a FutureBadass version of Mel. Doomed to spend an ''eternity'' in the TARDIS control room (the only remaining aspect of reality left), unable to move or even do much more than breathe or think while reality slowly sorts itself out. Maybe.]]
* KillEmAll
* LargeHam
* [[spoiler:SurvivorGuilt]]: Considering [[FateWorseThanDeath the ending]], this one actually makes ''sense.''
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: After assuming control of what's left of space-time, the Doctor-Valeyard can literally do whatever he desires. [[spoiler:This is, of course, because it's all an illusion]].

!!Alternate Third Doctor
->''I hate trolleys! They're just Daleks without the interesting bits.''

-->Voiced by: Arabella Weir (2003)

A female Doctor who came about after the Second Doctor (Nicholas Briggs) killed himself and escaped to avoid the trial at the end of "The War Games". Appears in "Exile".

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:She ends up getting captured and sentenced to confinement in her TARDIS for the rest of her life. Should she try to escape, she will dematerialize forever, and it would be as if she never exists. Or not. The story is a little vague, as even the Time Lords themselves seem to be played as a bit thick.]]
* GargleBlaster: The "speckled goat".
* GenderBender: It seems suicidal Time Lords switch genders upon regeneration. Who knew?
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Eventually leads to her downfall.
* IdiotBall: The Doctor's given a BIIIIIIG one...and in fact, the entire '''story''' is a big, giant IdiotPlot. To be fair, the entire audio play ''is'' intended to be humorous and stupid.
* NotSoGreatEscape: The Doctor is soon discovered, thanks in part to her [[TooDumbToLive incredible stupidity]].
* TalkingToThemself: She frequently talks to a possible hallucination of her previous incarnation. He isn't that reliable, so it's likely she's just dead drunk.
* TookALevelInDumbass
* WhatDidIDoLastNight

!!Alternate Eighth Doctor, aka [[spoiler: Johann Schmidt]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/PaulMcGann (2010)

A Doctor from an alternate timeline, where the Seventh Doctor, Ace and the TARDIS were captured in Colditz Castle and the Nazis wound up winning UsefulNotes/WorldWarII as an accidental aftereffect. After being killed and regenerating, the (now) Eighth Doctor spent decades manipulating the Nazis and trying to reset the timeline. Was first mentioned in the audio "Colditz", and much later properly appeared in the mini-episode "Klein's Story".

* TheAtoner: This alternate Eighth Doctor spends pretty much his entire regeneration trying to correct time to its proper course. It's up to interpretation if he's trying to attone for the corruption of the timeline, or if he's trying to prevent [[spoiler: Ace's untimely death]] by meddling. Probably both.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: "Johann" spends over 10 years just trying to find a person whom he can potentially convince to step back in time and correct things. He then spends the next several months slowly convincing her to go back in time to "save" the Doctor from the original timeline on the pretense of using him to explain how the TARDIS works.]] He's good.
* FakingTheDead: Done quite easily, considering he regenerated into another body.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: "Johann" gets at least shot trying to get Klein into the TARDIS, not to mention essentially erased from history once his plan works.]]
* TemporalParadox
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Companions (TV series)]]
The vast majority of the companions who showed up in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' TV series have returned for the Creator/BigFinish audio adventures, played by the original actors. (With the notable exception of Dodo, who has not appeared at all.) Although they usually travel with the Doctor, some just appear together in Companion Chronicles for their own adventures, or in their own separate series. For general character tropes about these returning companions, see [[Characters/DoctorWhoClassicSeriesCompanions The classic series companions page]].

!!Adric
-->Voiced by: Matthew Waterhouse, and briefly by Creator/AndrewSachs (2008)

Matthew Waterhouse initially refused to return for Big Finish, so for a re-interpretation of the character post-[[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E6Earthshock "Earthshock"]], a much older Adric was played by Andrew Sachs. It would take another five years before Waterhouse eventually joined the cast, and many stories with Adric set during his TARDIS travels have been produced since then.

* AGodAmI: God-king of the prehistoric bug people.
* [[spoiler:BackForTheDead]]: He spends [[spoiler: his final moments]] helping Thomas Brewster.
* OnlyMostlyDead: Turns out he survived the end of "Earthshock".
* StalkerWithACrush: Spending decades of his life on prehistoric earth, without any humanoid women around, led him to become a bit... preoccupied with the memory of Nyssa.

!! General Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Sixth and Eighth Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Nicholas Courtney

Now retired and HappilyMarried to Doris, the Brigadier (or the General, although he prefers being called the former) still works with UNIT at times. He notably also stars in several Unbound stories, many Companion Chronicles, and in a few Creator/BigFinish UNIT episodes (without the Doctor).

* TenMinuteRetirement: He signs back on with UNIT, as a scientific advisor, when he realises he can never truly bring himself to leave.
* CoolOldGuy
* GenreSavvy: He's able to recognise Six very quickly. Though Eight takes him a bit longer.
* HappilyMarried
* JumpedAtTheCall: In two "what if?" Unbound stories, he's ''very'' happy to become the Doctor's companion.
* RetiredBadass: The UNIT series see him leading a covert operation to save Britain from total anarchy.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Interestingly averted: due to Six's straightforward attitude and Eight's kindness, he gets along noticably better with Six and Eight than he ever did with Two, Three, Four and Seven in the TV series.

!!Dorothy "Ace" Gale [=McShane=] (Seventh Doctor)
-->Voiced by: Sophie Aldred

Ace is just a bit older, [[UpToEleven now even more awesome]], and travelling with the Seventh Doctor with no intention of ever stopping. She also appears in a few "Side Step" stories, which take place during the ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures''.

* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: She eventually kisses the Doctor, once, as a very sweet gesture of friendship. Since it's audio, feel free to imagine it as a BigDamnKiss.
* BreakTheCutie: From her very first Creator/BigFinish episode onwards, she gets broken over, and over, and over.
* TheChessmaster: Shows off hers skills extensively in "A Death In The Family", slowly but steadily outwitting a RealityWarper. She's shocked, in the end, by how well she did, considering it's usually the Doctor who does that sort of thing.
* {{Determinator}}: In "The Shadow Of The Scourge", she faces an EldritchAbomination that talks its victims into crippling despair. Her solution? To have someone ''destroy her eardrums'', because she knows the TARDIS medbay can just fix her up later. She spends over half the story completely deaf and with blood running out of her ears, and she's not even bothered.
* DisposableFiance: [[spoiler: Henry]]. Completely PlayedForDrama.
* GuileHero: Taking a few levels in the trope, and trying to be more like the Doctor. She's not extremely good at it at first.
* HiddenDepths: Her first adventure ("The Fearmonger") shows both her extreme fear of, and her total devotion to, the Seventh Doctor.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Creator/DavidTennant's character in "Colditz" has some ''very'' unsavory intentions towards her.
* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler: Her brother Liam]].
* TheNicknamer: "Oldman Whitehair, Beatles Haircut, Frilly Shirt, Longscarf Bigeyes, Cricket Boy, Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Lord Byron..."
* ShipTease: Quite a bit of it with Hex, though she mostly just sees him as a little brother.
* StoryArc: Almost uniquely for a returning TV series companion, she gets a distinct story arc in the monthlies. The episodes tend to also be understandable as standalone stories, though.

!!Professor George Litefoot (Fourth and Sixth Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Trevor Baxter

The pathologist from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang "The Talons Of Weng-Chiang"]] got his own Companion Chronicle together with Jago, followed by ''many'' seasons of their own spinoff, which end up also starring Leela. They also encounter the Doctor again on occasion.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Very gently hinted at, in addition to him being a strong advocate for equal social rights in regards to the love that dare not speak its name.
* BreakoutCharacter
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Jago, although Litefoot gets a brief and very sweet hint of being AmbiguouslyGay.
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman
* MilitaryBrat
* RedOniBlueOni: Jago is red, Litefoot is blue.
* ScienceHero

!!Henry Gordon Jago (Fourth and Sixth Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Christopher Benjamin

The impresario from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang "The Talons Of Weng-Chiang"]] got his own Companion Chronicle together with Professor Litefoot, followed by ''many'' seasons of their own spinoff, which end up also starring Leela. They also encounter the Doctor again on occasion.

* BreakoutCharacter
* DrowningMySorrows
* LargeHam
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Litefoot.
* ManlyTears: Unlike Litefoot, who sees death every day, Jago does ''not'' cope well with actual adventures at first.
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman
* RedOniBlueOni: Jago is red, Litefoot is blue.
* RichesToRags: He's not quite as famous anymore as he was when he first met the Doctor.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled

!!Josephine Grant (Third Doctor)
--> Voiced by: Creator/KatyManning

Jo has plenty of Companion Chronicles with the Third Doctor set during their time at UNIT, and a few set many decades later.

* [[spoiler: AndThenJohnWasAZombie]]: In "The Mists Of Time".
* IdenticalStranger: To Iris. This is never acknowledged by anyone, RuleOfFunny being in full effect.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently, Jo and Three like to go out ballroom dancing on Saturday nights with Benton.
* TalkingToHerself: In "Find And Replace", she meets up with Iris Wildthyme. HilarityEnsues.
* WhatTheHellHero: To the Third Doctor, once she realises the LongGame he's been playing [[spoiler: to replace her memories in order to protect her]].

!!Leela Of The Sevateem (Fourth, Sixth and Eighth Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Louise Jameson

Leela travels with the Fourth Doctor in stories set between their TV series episodes. Later, living on Gallifrey, she meets the Eighth Doctor and Romana during their battle with EldritchAbomination Zagreus. She and Romana subsequently get their own Creator/BigFinish spinoff, ''AudioPlay/{{Gallifrey}}'' -- which has [[Characters/{{Gallifrey}} its own character sheet]] -- and during that time, she travels back to Victorian London to team up with Jago and Litefoot for many adventures.

* ConstantlyCurious
* WeakWilled: Relatively speaking. As a human, she's ''much'' weaker against MindControl than Gallifreyans, which her enemies gladly make use of.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: She's not even remotely surprised when, at one point, the day is saved literally by the use of applied nonsense. After all, ''everything'' the Doctor does looks like nonsense to her.

!!Melanie "Mel" Jane Bush (Sixth and Seventh Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Bonnie Langford

Mel's timeline got a bit wobbly as soon as she was introduced in the TV series, which Creator/BigFinish delights in making even more complicated. Stories starring her tend to be light-hearted and fun. Since the Seventh Doctor isn't quite TheChessmaster yet during their travels together (as he would eventually become with Ace), the two of them become quite adept at the IndyPloy.

* ActingForTwo: Like Creator/ColinBaker, Bonnie Langford gets to play with this in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho169TheWrongDoctors The Wrong Doctors]], where two Mels are running around the story at the same time. However, unlike the Sixth Doctors, the two Mels are night and day.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Melanie Bush ''made Davros beg for mercy''. [[spoiler: She spent months believing he was a kind old crippled professor. Once it turns out Davros is a lying sack of crap and reverts to form, Melanie decides to leave him at the so-called mercy of his own creations: the Juggernauts. Who are Mechanoids enhanced with human remains.]] Just don't piss her off, really.
* {{Determinator}}
* DitzyGenius:
--> '''Mel:''' But, Doctor, we know they can't change history because we've seen the future already.
--> '''Seventh Doctor:''' No. Unfortunately there is an awkward thing called "free will".
--> '''Mel:''' Oh. You mean that predeterminism is merely a philosophical abstract and that the physical reality of the universe is the one in which all potential actions are permitted, including those whose effect cancel out their own logical cause?
--> '''Seventh Doctor:''' [[{{beat}} ...]] Yes, Mel.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: She gets very annoyed at anything that's not TheEighties.
* FunPersonified: Although she can be plenty glum and snarky, she's almost always brought in when a story needs to be LighterAndSofter. To the point where two of her episodes are full-on ''{{Panto}}''.
** And when her stories ''do'' get serious, you know something's very, very wrong.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: After a while, she starts just disappearing in the middle of Six's lectures and wandering off to the nearest bar (exactly like Peri before her).
* LoveFreak: In the audio play "[[AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho The Juggernauts]]" she tries to redeem ''Davros''. Of course, she doesn't exactly have the long history with him the Doctor has, and she only just learned what Daleks are, but ''still''...
* [[spoiler: RealityWarper]]: In the 2013 Sixth Doctor story "The Wrong Doctors", its revealed that Mel's powerful memory and contradictory timeline actually gives her, under the right conditions, [[spoiler: the power to pick and choose among countless alternate realities and timelines, pulling them into being in a pocket universe version of Pease Pottage created by a demonic entity from the Time Vortex.]]
* TheSlowPath: She gets stuck in 1782 for [[spoiler: six months]].

!!Captain Mike Yates (Third Doctor)
-->Voiced by: Richard Franklin

Mike appears in a few Companion Chronicles, and in the third installment of Destiny Of The Doctor.

* BadassNormal
* NaiveNewcomer: "Vengeance Of The Stones" is the story of how he met the Doctor, stopped an alien invasion and joined UNIT.
* RankUp: He starts off his introduction story as a Lieutenant.

!!Nyssa of Traken (Fifth Doctor)
-->Voiced by: Sarah Sutton

Nyssa has many adventures with the Doctor that are set between [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E7TimeFlight "Time-Flight"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E1ArcOfInfinity "Arc of Infinity"]]. She would also encounter the Doctor and her friends again much, much later on in her life -- [[TimeyWimeyBall despite it being a few weeks for them]]. Luckily, as she's not human, this isn't as much of a problem as it could be.

* TheBusCameBack: She rejoins Five, Tegan, and Turlough 50 years later (for her) and immediately after the events of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E5Enlightenment Enlightenment]]" (for them).
* BigDamnKiss: She has her first kiss with an English bloke in [[Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine Stockbridge]]. The moment shocks her -- all her life, she'd imagined it as a logical thing, something that might happen and that she would have to deal with as part of a larger process, but the moment comes and goes very quickly and naturally. She gives the relationship a go, but soon realises that she has a lot to learn and she hasn't found the right person yet.
* CharacterFocus: "Circular Time" is a sweet, almost dreamy character study of Nyssa.
* LettingHerHairDown: She briefly tries a simple human life, even wearing jeans for a while. The Doctor gently encourages her to explore it.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: ''Very'' reluctantly so in "Primeval". The Doctor eventually caves in and lends her his coat to cover up with.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Nyssa's return to the TARDIS was essentially done so Sarah Sutton could play a Nyssa who was much closer to her own current voice rather than a voice she had in the eighties. A rejuvenation was also given to the character a few adventures later so her running around with the rest of the TARDIS crew would be much more plausible.
* ScienceHero: Can keep up with the Doctor, and does much autonomous research while he's busy with other plotlines. He even trusts her to repair the TARDIS all by herself at times.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Well, the Doctor ''does'' take her back to Traken... a few thousand years into her past.

!!Perpugilliam Brown (Fifth and Sixth Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Nicola Bryant

Peri has a ''lot'' of adventures with the Fifth Doctor set before [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E6TheCavesOfAndrozani "The Caves Of Androzani"]], and a few with the Sixth Doctor as well.

* {{Atheism}}: Raised Baptist, but never really believed.
* AuthorAppeal: Her main writer is Nev Fountain, who's Nicola Bryant's boyfriend.
* BreakTheCutie: "The Reaping" might as well have been called "Peri Gets Broken".
* CharacterFocus: [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoCCS5E7PeriAndThePisconParadox "Peri And The Piscon Paradox"]] is two hours of Peri-centric comedy, followed by one ''hell'' of a MoodWhiplash.
* [[spoiler: CloningBlues]]: Thanks to the events of the Trial Of A Time Lord, it turns out that [[spoiler: there are five different versions of Peri in the universe]].
* FutureMeScaresMe
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Erimem.
* IHatePastMe
* INeedAFreakingDrink: After a while, she starts just disappearing in the middle of Six's lectures and wandering off to the nearest bar.
* [[spoiler: LawOfInverseFertility]]: She would love to get HappilyMarried and have children someday. In "Peri And The Piscon Paradox", it's revealed that [[spoiler: the copy of Peri who was returned to earth became infertile due to severe DomesticAbuse]].
* MsFanservice: Preview comics for the audio episodes tend to show off her... assets. In "Nekromanteia", she gets completely naked.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: A bit of a RunningGag, as every time her skills in botany ''might'' come in handy, she gets interrupted by plot.
* {{Pun}}: She admits she's a bit addicted to making them.
* RealityEnsues: The episode "The Reaping" loves this trope. Peri returns home, years later from her perspective, and four months later in her mother's normal timeline. Things go ''very, very wrong''.
* ShipTease: She fancies Five quite a lot. Six... not so much.
* ShouldntWeBeInSchoolRightNow: Discussed a few times.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Poor, poor, ''poor'' Peri keeps fancying men who turn out to be villains. Or wife beaters. Or... [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E7TheTwinDilemma well, you know]].
* TheSlowPath: In "The Kingmaker".
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: With Erimem. Peri's the girly girl, Erimem is a warrior who spends much of her StoryArc with a shaved head.

!!Romanadvoratrelundar (Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Mary Tamm, Lalla Ward, Juliet Landau

Romana travels with the Fourth Doctor when she's in her first body, exploring the universe together with him. In her second regeneration, she becomes the Lady President of Gallifrey, just like in the novels. After a few stories with the Eighth Doctor, Romana II got her own spin-off (''AudioPlay/{{Gallifrey}}'') together with Leela, which has [[Characters/{{Gallifrey}} a separate character sheet]].

* ActorExistenceFailure: Mary Tamm died before her audios with Creator/TomBaker were published.
* BreakTheCutie: Gets thoroughly broken while she's imprisoned by the Daleks, though she recovers marvellously.
* FanFic: Spends her spare time as Lady President writing a rather transparent Doctor FanFic, about a man named "Sigma".
* MercyKill: In "Zagreus", Romana is fully prepared to perform one on [[spoiler: Eight]].
* TheSlowPath: She spends [[spoiler: twenty years]] as a slave for the Daleks.

!!Sarah Jane Smith
-->Voiced by: Elisabeth Sladen

Before ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'', Creator/BigFinish gave Sarah Jane her own two-season miniseries. Has its own trope page: ''AudioPlay/SarahJaneSmith''.

* ActorExistenceFailure: She would have teamed up with the Fourth Doctor when Tom Baker ''finally'' agreed to do audios, but Elisabeth Sladen passed away too soon.
* BadassNormal
* BreakTheCutie

!!Susan Campbell (First and Eighth Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Carole Ann Ford

Aside from appearing in plenty of Companion Chronicles with the First Doctor, Susan returns as a companion to the Eighth. She's had a busy 20-odd years since [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth her grandfather left her with freedom fighter David Campbell]] -- raising her half-human son, Alex, and eventually rising quite high in Earth's fledgling government. Later winds up helping the Earth adjust to the concept of working alongside aliens again... and [[spoiler: fighting Daleks. Again]].

* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: A second Dalek invasion, just like the first... but far worse, losing her son to the Daleks in said invasion and her entire life is ruined in the span of two audio dramas]]. But despite all she's lost, Susan is more worried about [[spoiler:her grandfather's mental state]] than herself.
* GiveHimANormalLife: Susan doesn't give up her son, but she does pretend to be human for his sake.
* MamaBear
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* ShipperOnDeck: The Companion Chronicle "Here There Be Monsters" opens with her talking about how she thinks that Ian and Barbara truly belong together.

!!The TARDIS (All Doctors)
--> Voiced by: NicholasCourtney (2003)

Sexy Thing gets ADayInTheLimelight on occasion in Creator/BigFinish, and saves the world a few times over in the process.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: She projects herself as the Brigadier (and, [[ItMakesSenseInContext sort of]], as the Third Doctor).
* ArmorPiercingQuestion:
--> And what is your idea of friendship, Doctor? I’d really like to know.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: After a while, she gets just a ''bit'' fed up with the Doctor's emotional turmoils, his ChronicHeroSyndrome, the strays he brings home, and his terrible taste in music.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "The Beast Of Orlok".
* ClingyJealousGirl: There's no love lost between her and Charley even after they set aside their differences. But they do look out for each other, and help each other take care of the Doctor.
* CoolBigSis: In "Unregenerate!".
* DistressedDamsel: Most notably in "Wirrn Dawn" and "The Fires Of Vulcan".
* FateWorseThanDeath: Faces one in "Zagreus". She's not in the mood for it.
* FireForgedFriends: With Charley.
* TheJailer: Is forced to become the proverbial can for SealedEvilInACan Zagreus.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Mel notes that the TARDIS' symbiotic link with the Doctor is pretty much a marriage. ([[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife She's right, of course]].)
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: On a few notable occasions, she grows new appendages just to save the Doctor's life.
* NotHerself: In "Zagreus", [[spoiler: it turns out that Zagreus has merged with her]].
* PatchworkMap: Her library contains an orchard, and her mountain range is a short walking distance from the kitchen.
* SarcasticDevotee
* WhatTheHellHero: Towards the Doctor, after he refuses to sacrifice his companion's life to save all of reality... but [[spoiler: has no problem with sacrificing the TARDIS and himself to do exactly that.]] She calls him out on it, ''hard''.

!!Tegan Jovanka (Fifth Doctor)
--> Voiced by: Janet Fielding

Janet Fielding agreed to do one, and exactly ''one'', audio for Creator/BigFinish. She liked it so much, though, that she continued doing them. Tegan now rather regularly travels with the Fifth Doctor and his other companions in tales taking place during their time on the show together, both in the monthlies and in the Lost Stories.

* ContrivedCoincidence: A HarsherInHindsight example. [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho087TheGathering "The Gathering"]] features Tegan showing up again, for what Janet Fielding said would be here only episode (at the time) taking place after she had decided to leave the TARDIS (much longer from her perspective than the Doctor's, though). The Fifth Doctor offered to take her traveling again, but Tegan declined. Because [[spoiler: she was suffering from apparently terminal cancer]]. Later, in September of 2012, Janet Fielding revealed that she's currently fighting cancer.
* DeadpanSnarker: Actually ''amplified'' in some episodes compared to the old days in TheEighties.
* [[spoiler: DiedInYourArmsTonight]]: In Nyssa's.
* DemonicPossession: Since Tegan's back, so is the Mara. Well. [[SubvertedTrope Sorta]].
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]: After "The Gathering".
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Much like in the old days, and in those tales taking place during her TARDIS travels, Tegan's mouth still gets her into trouble.
* SarcasticDevotee
* {{Squee}}: When meeting Creator/HarryHoudini.

!!Vislor Turlough (Fifth Doctor)
--> Voiced by: Mark Strickson

Travelling with the Fifth Doctor, Turlough is typically not in the mood to deal with humans, with Earth, or with having to play the hero sometimes.

* AntiHero: Any time he realises he has to be heroic, it's with a weary sigh.
* ButtMonkey: The majority of his adventures take place on Earth, his absolute least favourite planet in the galaxy. He keeps begging the Doctor to go for a holiday on the planet of warm beaches and cute girls. The Doctor ignores him.
* DeadpanSnarker:
--> '''Fifth Doctor:''' Where is your sense of adventure?
--> '''Turlough:''' In my room in the TARDIS, in a box marked "sense of adventure".
* EnemyWithout: In "Loups-Garoux", a group of werewolves hynotises him into seeing a visual manifestation of his dark side. It ''really'' scares him.
* FishOutOfWater: The Doctor tries to show him all the best parts of Earth and to teach him cricket. It doesn't take.
* GirlOfTheWeek
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: He's tremendously homesick at times.

!!Zoe Heriot (Second Doctor)
--> Voiced by: Wendy Padbury

When Zoe parted from the Second Doctor, the Time Lords erased Zoe's memory of her adventures. But certain parties have evidence that she travelled in time, and have tracked her down in search of the information she doesn't know she knows.

* BadDreams: Has suffered from them for decades.
* CatchPhrase: "I remember everything -- and I remember nothing."
* FriendlessBackground
* WistfulAmnesia: She knows she's lost ''something'', and it's damaged her ability to connect with people.

!!Professor BerniceSummerfield (Seventh and Eighth Doctors)
-> Voiced by: Lisa Bowerman (1998-present)

See the [[Characters/BerniceSummerfield Bernice Summerfield character sheet]].

!!Dr. Evelyn Smythe [[spoiler: later Evelyn Rossiter]] (Sixth and Seventh Doctors)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evelyn_2591.png]]
-> ''I'm a historian. This is a time machine. You can take me anywhere... and I'll still be home in time for tea.''

-->Voiced by: Maggie Stables (2000-2011)

One of the Doctor's rare older companions, 55-year-old history professor Evelyn Smythe could also match the Sixth Doctor's acid tongue -- a rare bird indeed. Evelyn is by far one of the warmest, friendliest and most [[TheHeart emotionally involved]] companions that the Doctor has ever had. On the one hand, this mellows him out considerably, and the two of them become incredibly close. On the other hand, though, Evelyn can't even begin to cope with the amount of pain and death that a TARDIS traveller sees, and although she tries to stay brave, every friend she loses breaks her heart.

* AnachronicOrder: From "Thicker Than Water" onwards, her episodes get released out of order.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: A platonic one to the Doctor.
* BadassTeacher: She's a history teacher. And she's badass. She also knits sweaters for her students.
* BreakTheCutie: She tries to stay brave throughout her adventures, but the cracks begin to form at the end of "Jubilee". She starts to properly break in the middle of "Doctor Who And The Pirates". "Project: Lazarus" sees her finally unable to cope with the Doctor's lifestyle.
* ChristmasCake: One of the oldest companions the Doctor has ever had.
* CoolOldLady: Cool enough to chill out ''Six.'' (A little.)
* [[spoiler: CyberneticsWillEatYourSoul]]: In "Real Time".
* DeadpanSnarker: She is naturally quite straightforward, but the Doctor's more boastful rants tend to bring out this side of her.
* ForeShadowing: Thanks to Creator/BigFinish releasing episodes in whatever AnachronicOrder they like, the Doctor often fondly remembers Evelyn in episodes taking place after she leaves team TARDIS... which are released long before we know ''why'' she leaves team TARDIS.
* GeniusSweetTooth
* [[spoiler: HappilyMarried]]: To Rossiter.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Evelyn regularly parties with her students, and recalls taking part in a gin drinking contest with them. (The gin won.)
* TheHeart: A serious contender for the warmest, kindest, most emotionally involved companion the Doctor's ever had. She slowly learns that those qualities are not at all suitable for the amount of death and pain a TARDIS traveller tends to see.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]: Helping the Doctor [[spoiler: take out a being of nearly ultimate power, at the cost of her own life... as she was already dying, Evelyn was more than willing to ensure her end happened on her terms]].
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler: With Rossiter]].
* ItGetsEasier / ItNeverGetsAnyEasier: Evelyn's main arc revolves around her coping with all the death that follows in the Doctor's wake. He [[JerkassFacade seems]] to take it all in his stride, while she, well, doesn't. What she takes away from it is that there is no happily ever after, because life has no ever after, just days that are happy and days that are sad. And as long as one person cares, you can keep on living until the next day.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: EVE-eh-lyn. She poses as "Evil Evelyn, the Pirate Queen" at one point.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Six doesn't get any say in whether or not she gets to be a companion, since she's already made up her mind just minutes after they first meet. As we find out much later, it's partly because [[spoiler: she suffered a heart attack not too long before, and the university wanted to try and force her into retirement]].
* MarriedToTheJob: Quite literally, in that she divorced her husband so she could spend more time at work.
* MedicalHorror: Especially in "Real Time" and "Thicker Than Water".
* MoralityChain: She really brings out Six's softer side, and he grows to care tremendously for her. She also calls him out ''hard'' when he puts on a brave face and pretends that everything's fine when it very clearly isn't.
* NonActionSnarker
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: She often has the same problem as the Doctor when describing herself.
* OlderSidekick: She seems noticeably older than the 40ish Sixth Doctor, though she technically isn't.
* ParentalSubstitute: Eventually becomes one for Hex.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Usually, Evelyn's a perfectly friendly old dear, but when she needs to get her way...
* [[spoiler: YourDaysAreNumbered]]: She's hiding [[spoiler: a serious heart condition]] from Six, and part of the reason she wants to travel in the TARDIS is to live life to the fullest [[spoiler: while she still can]].

!!Frobisher (Sixth Doctor)

!!Princess Erimemushinteperem (Fifth Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/erimem_3322.png]]
-> ''I believe in real things. I have heard of men who study the stars.''

-->Voiced by: Caroline Morris (2001-2008)

Erimem is a daughter of Pharaoh Amenhotep II. Rescued by the Fifth Doctor and Peri from Ancient Egypt 1400BC after some complications involving her impending coronation, she travelled the galaxy with the Doctor to learn about different times and places. Also appears in a number of prose stories and novellas, as well as the full-length novel ''The Coming of the Queen''.

* AbusiveParents: Comes with the time period, but it's revealed in "The Roof Of The World" that her father planned to have her tossed to the lepers for accidentally seeing something she wasn't supposed to. And she only finds out about this [[spoiler: in limbo]]. But as it turns out, [[spoiler: it was all to protect her and the rest of the world]].
* ActionGirl: She was trained in sword(wo)manship by the Captain of the Royal Guard. Comes in handy when they visit Three Musketeer-era France.
* {{Ambadassador}}: She's extremely adept at political negotiations... but not mature enough to judge ''when'' to stand up for her convictions and when to simply keep silent. When push comes to shove, she can also fight her way out.
* AncientEgypt
* {{Atheism}}: She was never in line to become Pharaoh until her brothers all suddenly died, and people immediately started worshiping her as a living God when it was announced she would take the throne. This made her realise that religion just wasn't for her. (Considering [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E3PyramidsOfMars what Egyptian Gods tend to be like]] in ''Series/DoctorWho'', she has a point.) However, she still strongly values (and clings to) her traditions, and she finds it very hard to separate her culture and her religion. Seeing the stars convinces her that there ''must'' be miracles in the world.
* AttemptedRape: In "Nekromanteia", in an attempt to make the series a bit DarkerAndEdgier, Erimem is almost raped but manages to fight off her attacker. (Fan reception of the episode was overwhelmingly negative, and the author was never hired to write for ''Series/DoctorWho'' again.)
* BadassNormal: Erimem never just sits back when there's trouble.
* BaldOfAwesome: She shaves her head at the start of "The Church And The Crown" just because she feels like it, and keeps her hair that way for a while.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Has a habit of casually breaking people's arms when they try to touch her in less pleasant ways.
* BlueBlood
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: She sees nothing wrong with corporal punishment and a moderate level of fascism, if it's for the good of the people. This becomes very interesting when she gets into a sort of romance with Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia... a.k.a. Dracula.
* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]: In "The Kingmaker", although seeing Peri's reaction to the idea stops her. She pretends it was all just a joke, but later reveals to the Doctor that she was deadly serious, and that she feels tremendously guilty for lying about it to Peri.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses
* GuileHero: Years of court etiquette gives her a lot of skill in manipulating people. She effortlessly talks her way into the King of France's court.
* FakingTheDead
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Frequently. "The Veiled Leopard" has her in a bodice and high heels, wanting to try 1960's French fashion. She immediately regrets that decision when she realises she can't properly move anymore.
* FriendshipMoment: In "No Place Like Home", she and the Doctor quickly bond over how dreadfully stuffy and ceremonial their respective civilisations are. She also learns that he's ''technically'' the President of Gallifrey, and that he's on the run from it, just like she is.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Mainly with Peri. They're the equivalent of gossiping girls when around each other.
* IncestIsRelative: Was engaged to her brother before his untimely death, and rather excited about the prospect.
* RebelliousPrincess: A textbook example.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* ScrewDestiny: Over and over.
* TheSlowPath: In "The Kingmaker".
* TeamPet: Antranak, a stray cat she dragged along during her hasty escape from ancient Egypt. The Doctor really doesn't get along with Antranak, but tolerates the cat for Erimem's sake.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: With Peri. Peri's the girly girl, Erimem is a warrior who spends much of her StoryArc with a shaved head.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: When she first joins up with the Fifth Doctor, she's never ever heard of ''tea''. The Doctor promises to take her out for snowball fights and ice cream and anything else she's never seen before. Her travels leave her in a perpetual state of wonder, though due to her excellent etiquette, she's never too much of a FishOutOfWater.

!!Dr. Elizabeth Klein [Restored Universe] (Seventh Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/klein_3873.png]]
-->Voiced by: Tracey Childs (2012, 2013)

UNIT's scientific advisor, and the regular-universe counterpart of a very nasty alternate-universe Nazi officer. The Seventh Doctor's been keeping an eye on her just to make sure she's nothing like her alternate self, and she's absolutely not happy about it. But while being similar in temperament to her "other" self, this Klein is far more personable than her former incarnation, and most importantly not evil. For tropes pertaining to the alternate Klein, see her entry under "Villains".

* ActingForTwo: Tracey Childs also plays Klein's mother in "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho177DaleksAmongUs Daleks Among Us]]".
* BadassNormal: Klein really is not fazed by Daleks, Sontarans, or even Nazis.
* CosmicRetcon: The end result of a major cosmic retcon. This is treated like a big secret to be kept from her in "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsUNITDominion UNIT: Dominion]]", but Klein adapts rather well.
* DrJerk: However, she is trying to improve herself.
* IKnowYoureWatchingMe: "The Umbrella Man" (read: The Seventh Doctor) has been stalking her throughout her life at UNIT. It all turns out to be mostly harmless. Mostly.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: This seemed to happen in "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho177DaleksAmongUs Daleks Among Us]]", after Klein [[spoiler:found out about her birth circumstances]].
* TimeyWimeyBall
* TomatoInTheMirror

!!Charlotte "Charley" Elspeth Pollard (Eighth Doctor [[spoiler: and Sixth Doctor]])
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charley_1509.png]]
-> '''Charley:''' ''Did they have orgies?''
-> '''Eighth Doctor:''' ''CHARLOTTE POLLARD!!''
-> '''Charley:''' ''I went to an orgy once... I didn't stay.''

-->Voiced by: India Fisher (2001-2010, 2013-present)

Edwardian adventuress Charlotte Pollard ran away from her boring life among the upper crust in 1930, only to be nearly killed in an airship crash. Fortunately, the Eighth Doctor was around. Charley is a pragmatic and very adventurous young lady who strongly values BrutalHonesty, making up for her lack of life experience with a willingness to try anything once. Got her own spin-off.

* AliceAllusion: In "Zagreus", she's forced to take on the role of Alice, take up the Vorpal sword, and fight the Jabberwock. It turns out that [[spoiler: the TARDIS was trying to save reality itself by confusing Zagreus into submission, using the most nonsensical thing she could possibly find in Charley's head: her memories of reading ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'']].
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: She and the Doctor exchange one, though they both mean different things by it, in "Neverland". Things get extremely out of hand after that in "Scherzo".
* {{Atheism}}: And proud of it.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She very much wants to become a mother. The idea is explored in a variety of creative ways, none of which are at all fun for Charley.
* BigDamnKiss: [[spoiler: With the Doctor in "Scherzo"]]. It's played for terrifying, indescribably gruesome BodyHorror.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Seemingly falls victim to it every second story, may actually have toppled Sarah Jane and Leela as the most brainwashed companion.
* BreakoutCharacter: One of the most popular ''Series/DoctorWho'' companions ''ever'', lasting ''four'' entire story arcs: her initial run with Eight, the Divergent Universe arc, her second arc with Eight, and her run with [[spoiler: Six]]. Also the only original Creator/BigFinish character to come back for the Big Finish 50th anniversary, and the first Big Finish companion to be mentioned by the Eighth Doctor in his return to the screen. After which she promptly got her own spinoff.
* BritishAccent: Classic Received Pronunciation.
* BrutalHonesty: A big fan of it.
* BuffySpeak:
--> A 'thingamy' was a tool, one hit someone else with a 'dooda', and a 'whatsit' bleeped. One could always combine them, of course. 'Thingamydooda' would suit a space spanner, for example. Once, for variety, she had tried out 'oojamaflip', but she’d found it rather common.
* CanonImmigrant: Mentioned in "[[{{Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor}} The Night of the Doctor]]".
* CatchPhrase: "My friends call me Charley". Quite a bit of drama is gotten from characters adamantly calling her "Charlotte" regardless, especially [[spoiler: the Sixth Doctor]].
* CharactersAsDevice: Enjoys lampshading her {{Sidekick}} status:
-->'''C'rizz:''' Doctor, what's happening?
-->'''Eighth Doctor:''' Hmm?
-->'''C'rizz:''' I said "what's happening?"
-->'''Charley:''' No, not like that. Ahem. ''"Doctor, what's happening, Doctor?!!"''
-->'''C'rizz:''' Oh, that's ''good''.
-->'''Charley:''' Practice, you see.
* DeathByDisfigurement: Strongly {{invoked}} in "The Last", but ultimately turned on its head.
* DoubleConsciousness: Develops one after "The Chimes Of Midnight", and remembers both dying in the R101 and being rescued by the Doctor.
* EdwardianAdventuress: She even calls herself this.
* EnglishRose: She was raised to become one, but said ScrewThisImOuttaHere as soon as she had the chance to. Occasionally invoked:
--> '''Keep:''' There's a tint to your skin.
--> '''Charley:''' [dripping with sarcasm] It's called English Rose.
* FakingTheDead
* GenreSavvy: Is generally very quick to figure out when she's being manipulated with hallucinations, who'd doing the manipulating and why, and what's real and what's fake.
* GorgeousPeriodDress: A ''huge'' fan of it. Creator/JaneAusten is one of her favourite authors, and she's very much in love with the past. She also sees historical adventures as an excuse to put her endless etiquette lessons to good use, which typically makes the Doctor groan.
* LadyOfAdventure: Will try anything once, and very quickly and eagerly adapts to future culture and technology. Loves wielding giant swords, even if she has zero skill with them. Ran away from home to dress up as a boy, sneak into an international experimental zeppelin flight, and get to Singapore on time for a romantic rooftop rendezvous.
* LawOfInverseFertility: PlayedWith. She really, really wants to become a mother, but the universe seems to conspire against her in that regard... making her give birth to ''monsters'' over and over.
* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: The Doctor knows full well that Charley's madly in love with him. He ignores it until it's much, much too late, at which point they're stuck in the living hell of "Scherzo". Much later, Charley tells [[spoiler: the Sixth Doctor]] that Eight had been in love with her, too -- although he'd never have admitted to being ''in'' love, per se.
* MacGyvering: Comes up occasionally. Her excellent upper-class education gives her a few levels in ScienceHero, which she uses whenever it's necessary. In "Solitaire", she's able to fashion a rudimentary electromagnet out of its base components.
* MercyKill: In one truly heartbreaking scene in "Zagreus", [[spoiler: she puts the Doctor out of his misery after he begs her to run him through with her sword.]]
* RealityEnsues: Several episodes have her dealing with the realization that she will [[YouCantGoHomeAgain never see]] her family again. (She does, eventually, in "The Fall Of The House Of Pollard". It goes FromBadToWorse.)
* RebelliousSpirit: As a child, she let Roma sleep in her family's attic. She only got more rebellious as she got older.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Develops one after a while.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When the Eighth Doctor is ''relieved'' about [[spoiler: C'rizz' death]], Charley realises that life with him is too alien and horrifying for her.
* ShipSinking: After the Divergent Universe arc, [[spoiler: the Doctor makes her promise to stop yearning for him]].
* SmittenTeenageGirl: Falls madly in love with the Eighth Doctor, which is completely PlayedForDrama. Eight is ''extremely'' uncomfortable with it.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Charley narrowly avoids a PrecisionFStrike when the Celestial Toymaker forces her to think of a four-letter password.
--> '''Celestial Toymaker:''' Do you know how many four-letter words there are in the English language, miss Pollard?
--> '''Charley:''' ''I can think of a few right now.''
* TemporalParadox: Was saved from the crash of the R101 by the Doctor, and went on to travel with him. Time appears to proceed normally, until we find out that [[spoiler: the Doctor saving her from certain firey doom caused a ripple in the Web of Time. History wrote that Charley was supposed to go down with the ship, but because of her survival, the ripple lead to all sorts of paradoxes and tons of "things-that-shouldn't-have-happened" ''to'' happen throughout the whole of history. All this, ''plus'' causing the Web of Time to slowly unravel itself due to her merely ''existing.'']]
* TimeCrash: Is a living one, thanks to something going ''mighty'' wrong when the Doctor rescued her. Nearly every story in her initial arc involves time itself warping around her and history developing continuity errors. Although there's nothing particularly special about her or her rescue, she accidentally becomes the "patient zero" of a grand scale disaster.
* TimeyWimeyBall: Thanks to the fun of time travel in ''Series/DoctorWho'', Charley is one of the very few companions to know the Doctor before [[spoiler: he knows her]]. Sorta. Long story short, she was a companion of the 8th Doctor, assumed he died in an adventure and wound up later being [[spoiler: a companion to the 6th Doctor. Whose memory of Charley was wiped so the timeline would be preserved when he was the 8th Doctor.]] Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey indeed.
* TomboyishName
* TorturePorn: With some frequency, and most notably in "Creed Of The Kromon".
* YouAreWorthHell: Will never abandon the Doctor, no matter how many time he tries to make a HeroicSacrifice so she can live a normal life. He's ''very seriously not happy'' with it.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: See RealityEnsues.

!!Iris Wildthyme (Third, Fifth and Sixth Doctors)
-->Voiced by: Katy Manning (2002-present)

See the [[Characters/IrisWildthyme Iris Wildthyme character sheet]].

!!Thomas Hector "Hex" Schofield (Seventh Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hex2_6040.jpg]]
-> ''OH MY GOD!''

-->Voiced by: Philip Olivier (2004-2012)

Hex was introduced as a character ''well'' before his first proper appearance, during the Sixth Doctor's encounters with the Forge. He later became a staff nurse and was encountered by the Seventh Doctor and Ace in 2021. Hex is compassionate and good at keeping a cool head, even during his Oh My God freakouts.

* {{Adorkable}}
* BadassNormal: Considering the fact that he's just a nurse and is more than often in over his head, Hex does some pretty awesome stuff. [[spoiler: Especially taking out two elder Gods in one day, admittedly at the cost of his own life. Not bad for someone without Nitro-9]].
* [[BigOMG Big "Oh My God!"]]: Not always big, but a bit of a CatchPhrase. Used to dramatic effect in "The Settling" with Oliver Cromwell.
* BreakTheCutie: Villains love to torture poor Hex. Especially Nimrod, [[spoiler: telling him enough of the truth about how his mother died to make him distrust the Doctor and then tricking him into resurrecting her as a mindless vampire monster. This would have been bad enough had he not just recovered from being shot.]] He's also been gratuitously tortured in an English Military Hospital, and [[spoiler: nearly burned as a witch]] by Oliver Cromwell.
** Indeed, the writers at Creator/BigFinish would often joke about what crap they could shove on Hex with each new script.
* BritishAccents: Very thick Scouse. This almost gets him into trouble a few times when he's undercover, especially since the TARDIS helpfully uses her TranslatorMicrobes to give him a strong accent no matter what planet he's on.
* DespairEventHorizon: When he thinks the Doctor and Ace are dead and he's stranded in the Siege of Wexford, he [[spoiler: leads the townspeople into battle and becomes a little bit of a BloodKnight]].
* DidNotGetTheGirl: He falls in love with Ace pretty early on. She's not interested (not to mention incapable of having a functional romantic relationship with ''anyone''), and he gets over it eventually when he realises she'd "have [him] for breakfast". They just become close friends instead.
* EyeGouge: He manages to get himself permanently blinded -- turns out looking directly at a nuclear explosion is a very bad idea. Luckily for him, it was part of a GroundhogDayLoop, and he gets his eyesight back once the loop resets.
* TheHeart: He's sensitive, caring, honest, and instantly falls into the role of TheChick once the team gets larger.
* HeroicBSOD:
** After the events of "The Settling", which Ace considers his very own [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E2GhostLight "Ghost Light"]].
** After finding out [[spoiler: the fate of his mother, not to mention the fact that the Doctor had chosen to lie by omission about her fate for so long]].
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]: [[spoiler: A twofold one for Hex, actually. Hex uses the ultimate power of the universe in a game of proverbial chess with Fenric (yes, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E3TheCurseOfFenric THAT]] Fenric) to take out Fenric's opponent, who wanted to destroy the universe. With the game over, and Fenric still having lost despite his opponent being banished, Fenric takes over Hex out of spite. Hex ''restrains'' Fenric (an '''elder freaking god''', mind you) and throws himself out into the Space-Time Vortex to make sure Fenric is dealt with once and for all. While ''bleeding out from a fatal wound he'd received months ago'' that Fenric's opponent was holding back so he could use Hex as a pawn against Fenric in the first place]]. Holy crap.
* HospitalHottie: Actor Philip Olivier is a professional (nude) model.
* ItsPronouncedTroPay: Skoe-field.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In "The Settling", he accidentally causes [[spoiler: the Siege of Wexford]].
* ParentalSubstitute: He's eventually adopted by [[spoiler:Evelyn]]. Who then [[spoiler: promptly dies]].
* TheReveal: In the middle of the Sixth Doctor story "Thicker Than Water", [[spoiler: the Seventh Doctor]] shows up completely out of nowhere, uncredited and unannounced, to reveal to Evelyn that Hex is [[spoiler: Tommie, Cassie's son from the Forge StoryArc]].
* ShipTease: Plenty of it with Ace. He fancies her quite a bit and would love to have a nice shag or maybe a date, but Ace just sees him as a little brother.
* [[spoiler: TakingYouWithMe]]
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: He does ''not'' cope well with being made to fight in a war.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: Hex is a bit of a sci-fi dork -- and in many ways a precursor to [[Characters/DoctorWhoRevivalSeriesCompanions Rory Williams]] -- and isn't sure at first whether he's cut out for the reality of space/time adventures. He quickly warms up to it and delights in seeing new things, and Ace (who's much more jaded) loves to watch him enjoy his adventures.

!!C'rizz (Eighth Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rizz_6727.png]]
-> ''The dead don't sleep.''

-->Voiced by: Conrad Westmaas (2004-07)

Pronounced KER-izz. C'rizz is a chameleonic monk from the Divergent universe who got kidnapped during his wedding, used as a guinea pig, and subsequently [[BreakTheCutie broken over and over and over again]] by everything that crosses his path. He tries to put on a brave face and becomes close friends with Charley. C'rizz never gets much CharacterDevelopment during his first StoryArc, and as we find out eventually, there's a ''very'' good reason for that...

* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman]]: Well, Eutermesan. And he has no idea.
* [[spoiler:TheAssimilator]]: As revealed in "Something Inside", he can [[spoiler: permanently absorb people's powers by murdering them]]. He also [[spoiler: takes on little bits of the personality]] of every person he meets, a fact he actively ''hates''.
* TheAtoner: For killing L'da.
* AntiHero: Most of the Doctor's companions share at least the basics of their moral code with that of the Doctor. C'rizz... really, really doesn't.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: C'rizz is kind, helpful, even valiant at times, and [[spoiler: will ruthlessly murder you or grant you a FateWorseThanDeath if you hurt him]].
* BlessedWithSuck: He strongly dislikes his own powers.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The way C'rizz sees the world is very alien and intensely frightening at times.
* BreakTheCutie: Something the Expanded Universe ''excels'' at, it seems.
* BrokenMasquerade: He keeps up the façade for a good long time. Until he can't anymore.
* CanonImmigrant: Mentioned in "[[{{Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor}} The Night of the Doctor]]".
* CharactersAsDevice: C'rizz is an experiment in what happens when a companion just doesn't fit in team TARDIS all that well. After his final episode, the Doctor is [[spoiler: actually relieved that things can go back to normal again]]. His response [[spoiler: horrifies Charley so much that she breaks off their friendship and leaves Eight forever]].
* CreepyGood: "Good" being a very relative term, thanks to his BlueAndOrangeMorality.
* TheEmpath: [[spoiler: Adapts to whomever he's around.]] The reason he has no CharacterDevelopment to speak of at first is [[spoiler: because he simply doesn't have much of an identity of his own]]. Entirely PlayedForDrama.
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]
* HumiliationConga: In "Other Lives", he decides to leave the TARDIS and go look for the Doctor... on 19th century earth. He's pretty much immediately captured, chained up, forced to rip off his clothes and put on a thong, and displayed as a sideshow freak.
* ISeeDeadPeople: Originally played straight at the start of [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho062TheLast "The Last"]], where [[spoiler: C'rizz is but one of a few who see the spirits of the dead surrounding them]]. Later actually twisted somewhat at the end of [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho072TerrorFirma "Terror Firma"]], where it's revealed that [[spoiler: C'rizz sees each and every person he's killed, or rather "saved", as a ghost around him]].
* LizardFolk: With an exoskeleton.
* MercyKill: Originally played painfully straight in his first story, where [[spoiler: C'rizz is forced to kill his loved one to alleviate her suffering and release her from what is essentially an undeath]]. However, [[TraumaCongaLine the repeated trauma]] that C'rizz undergoes twists that inside him, [[spoiler: eventually revealing that he believes each person that he's killed is also one that he's "saved". This includes a Dalek. His church's credo revolves almost entirely around killing, and he was one of their most adept assassins.]]
* [[spoiler: PathOfInspiration]]: Unbeknownst to him (or to anyone, really), his church was founded by [[spoiler: Rassilon]].
* PettingZooPeople: He's a humanoid chameleon.
* [[spoiler:PowerCopying]]: From the people he "saves".
* PowerNullifier: He becomes quite adept at shutting his mind (and others' minds) off from scrying and hallucinations, [[spoiler: since he picked up moderate telepathy from someone he murdered]].
* PunctuationShaker: Just like his fiancée, L'da.
* {{Psychopomp}}: What turns out to be the purpose of his existence.
* [[spoiler: RealityWarper]]: In "Absolution".
* [[spoiler:RebelPrince]]: His father is [[spoiler: the leader of the Foundation]]. Although it's later revealed that things are a ''little'' more complicated.
* [[spoiler: SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan]]: The people he saves become [[spoiler: trapped inside him forever]]. It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler: this is exactly what he was created for]].
* [[spoiler:Telepathy]]: He picked up a bit of it once from [[spoiler: someone he killed]].
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: In "Memory Lane", the heroes fight a nanotech substance that latches onto people's personalities. C'rizz [[spoiler: is able to confuse it into a neutral state by letting it into his mind, since he has no clear-cut personality]].
* [[spoiler: TokenEvilTeammate]]: Sort of. He's certainly this during the Divergent arc, but gradually becomes more like the Doctor and Charley, thanks to [[spoiler: his natural ability to copy people's moods and personalities]]. He still occasionally [[spoiler: maims and murders]], though, and the Doctor and Charley stay completely unaware of it for a very long time.
* TorturePorn: He gets severely physically tortured in "Something Inside", and nearly dies from his internal injuries.
* TraumaCongaLine: First, his beloved [[spoiler: is horrendously mutated before his eyes, forcing C'rizz to kill her off out of mercy]]. As he begins to travel to other worlds, though, it seems like each subsequent author and story was continually trying to out-do the previous one.
* WeakWilled: [[spoiler: His chameleonic skin isn't the only thing that adapts to his environment. As it turns out, his race also subconsciously adjusts emotionally to people around them.]]
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: [[spoiler: He'll break your spine and rip your eyes out.]]

!!Lucie Miller (Eighth Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucie_8361.png]]
-> ''Just look at you. A right frock-coated ponce.''

-->Voiced by: Sheridan Smith (2007-2011)

Lucie bleedin' Miller is dumped on the TARDIS by the Time Lords without explanation (at first), and completely fails to be impressed by the alien ponce in front of her. Over the years, she and the Doctor end up becoming best friends.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: In a welcome subversion of the trope, her big damn "I love you" to the Doctor is completely non-romantic. Apart from some very mild flirting, they really are just friends.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Just when it looks like the Daleks are about to win, here comes Lucie with a spaceship and a really handy [[NukeEm nuke]].]]
* BookDumb: Gets rather annoyed whenever the Doctor points this out.
* BreakTheCutie: Severely.
* BrutalHonesty: Values it to the point where the Doctor lying to her causes her to [[spoiler: break off their friendship]].
* CanonImmigrant: Mentioned in "[[{{Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor}} The Night of the Doctor]]".
* CatchPhrase: "What's that when it's at home?"
* CombatPragmatist
* CommutingOnABus: She was absent for the first half of the fourth season (see PutOnABus below). Though Sheridan Smith played two androids the Doctor had programmed to have her voice in "Prisoner of the Sun", the January 2011 episode.
* DeadpanSnarker: Extra emphasis on "snarker". Describes herself as "Sarcasmo, the Lord of Sarcasm".
* [[spoiler:DeathByDisfigurement]]
* [[spoiler:DyingMomentOfAwesome: Her HeroicSacrifice literally saves the world.]]
* FutureMeScaresMe: [[spoiler: Subverted. It's suggested that Lucie is destined to become a ruthless dictator, but then it turns out it was someone else]].
* GratuitousFrench: She and the Doctor pull this at the beginning of "Scapegoat". Her French is hilariously terrible.
* [[spoiler:HandicappedBadass]]: As of "Lucie Miller", [[spoiler:she contracted a plague while on holiday with Alex, which left her blind in one eye and dependent on leg braces. In spite of this, she, Alex, and Susan staged several raids on Dalek forces. With [[NukeEm nuclear submarines]].]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Taking a doomsday nuke into the heart of a Dalek time engine while shouting out "LUCIE BLEEDIN' MILLER!" so the Daleks knew ''just'' who screwed them over]].
** Notably, earlier on, [[spoiler:she's a rare case of HeroicSacrifice ''survivor''. Once things started going to hell, she expected to die on a mission, and didn't particularly care... until she found out Susan's TARDIS key was active, and the Doctor was (finally) coming. But, lest you think Big Finish was only kidding with the title, she ends up dying anyway.]]
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]
* TheLadette: Particularly in her first episode.
* LadySwearsALot: And has a lot of fun with it. Freely mixes up "bleedin' hell" with "oh, ''sugar''!".
* NoodleIncident: More of a Jelly Incident, in her case.
-->'''Lucie:''' "... It's just I've got a thing about jelly. Incident at a children's party, 1992. Trust me, you don't wanna know."
* NotHerself: Is very easily hypnotised and possessed, to her constant frustration. Is also extremely adept at staying conscious during mind control, though, and fighting back from the inside.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Subverted in "Scapegoat", in which Lucie, having donned GorgeousPeriodDress for what is meant to be a night at the ''Moulin Rouge'', has this exchange with the Doctor:
-->'''Doctor:''' "You look very... uh... very... uh..."
-->'''Lucie:''' "Say 'cheap' and I'll have you."
* OopNorth: Lucie is from Blackpool.
* PunctuatedPounding: On several occasions. In "Orbis", the Doctor has gone amnesiac (again) and forgotten her, so she literally slaps him into remembering her, spelling her name and smacking him after every letter. It works.
* PutOnABus: She voluntarily leaves the Doctor and returns home after an incident that makes her believe she can't trust him anymore. [[spoiler:Her aunt Pat, whom she first met in 1974, was killed on their second visit to her and replaced by the [[ItMakesSenseInContext shape-shifting alien]] who had been Pat's husband. The Doctor knew this and opted not to tell Lucie, against his better judgment, and she eventually found out. This broke her trust in him, until she ran into him again on a moonbase on Deimos, where she had been abandoned by the Meddling Monk, with whom she'd been traveling. She then spends Christmas with him, Susan, and Susan's son Alex, though rather than resume traveling with him she opts to explore 22nd-century Earth with Alex. He's somewhat amusingly alarmed by that, telling Alex to look after her in one breath, and warning him not to let her teach him any bad habits in the next. She eventually forgives him for the aunt Pat things... soon before she dies.]]
* ShellShockedVeteran: [[spoiler: Spends two years living through the Dalek occupation. The Doctor is horrified when he sees her picking up a gun and threatening to shoot the Monk.]]
* ShipTease: Has a few moments with the Doctor throughout season 3, and with Alex in season 4.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With the Doctor. For all they snark at one another, they're self-admittedly each other's best friend. She does accuse him of staring at her bum a lot.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Crocodiles?]]
* YouPutTheXInXY: In "The Skull of Sobek", she starts seeing strange visions. The Doctor's comment: "You put the Lucie in hallucination."

[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brewster_1481.jpg]]
--> Voiced by: John Pickard (2008-2011)

A [[CharlesDickens Dickens]]ian little git who had the misfortune of getting caught up in the Doctor's life at the tender age of four. Orphaned, abandoned and raised in a workhouse, he never had a chance to get a proper education (let alone love and care from anyone), and inevitably got stuck on the path of villainy. The Doctor, feeling at least partially responsible for Brewster's ruined childhood, comes to see him as a companion eventually and tries his best to make adult Brewster's life somewhat normal again.

* ArtfulDodger: After escaping from his abusive boss, he spends a few years as a teenager living the life of a Dickens-style little thief.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Well, hypothetical future StableTimeLoop ghosts ''pretending'' to be his mama.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In part due to being somewhat of a DoomMagnet, and in part because being a thief is the only life he knows.
* LoveRedeems: He's willing to settle down with Connie and live a normal life. Too bad she [[spoiler: gets into a traffic accident]] soon after.
* SequelHook: Last seen [[spoiler: ditching Earth altogether to go set up an interstellar company]].
* SympatheticCriminal: He's got one ''hell'' of a FreudianExcuse.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Although he makes a few genuine efforts to better himself. The Doctor's companions and friends are more willing to see Brewster's good side than the Doctor himself -- Evelyn genuinely wants to help the boy, and Patricia Menzies just sees him as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain and runs circles around him intellectually.


!!Alexander David "Alex" Campbell (Eighth Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alexcampbell_4627.png]]
-->Voiced by: Jake [=McGann=] (2009-2011)

Susan's son and the Doctor's great-grandson. Seems to have taken the whole "Surprise! You're half-alien!" thing quite well after the initial shock, considering Earth was pretty xenophobic while he was growing up.

* BookDumb: Alex isn't doing especially well in school.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A very rare example of ''nonhuman'' Mom, ''human'' Dad.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Alex performed one of these, planning for the Daleks to destroy the very important console he was "trying" to sabotage when they shot him to stop him]]. It worked.
* ItRunsInTheFamily
* TellMeAboutMyFather
* WonderChild: Shades of this. ''Series/DoctorWho'' media varies on whether or not Time Lords are interfertile; at the very least, human/Time Lord children are unusual enough that Eight asks Susan exactly how she managed it. (She's a bit embarrassed by the question.)

!!Tamsin Drew (Eighth Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tamsin_2599.png]]
-->Voiced by: Niky Wardley (2010-2011)

A failed actress who wants to leave her dreary life on Earth. Travels with the Doctor after Lucie leaves, but never really manages to get along with him. He outright rejects her as a companion when they first meet. Turns out taking her along anyway was a bad idea.

* CanonImmigrant: Mentioned in "[[{{Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor}} The Night of the Doctor]]".
* CharactersAsDevice: She's simply not suited for TARDIS travel... at least not with the Doctor. Her story line explored what happens when the wrong companion ends up with the wrong Time Lord, and is completely PlayedForDrama.
* ChristmasCake: As an actress, she's starting to get offered "mom" parts instead of "daughter" parts, and she ''hates'' it.
* GenreBlind
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Though she never really bothered to investigate either, and she mistook [[spoiler: a Dalek invasion fleet]] for ''medical volunteers''. WhatAnIdiot.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: To [[spoiler: the Monk.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone
* ThePowerOfActing: Invoked, but subverted, when the Doctor asks her to inflitrate into a monastery with some {{Improv}}. She's ''dreadful'' at it, and ends up [[ImMrFuturePopCultureReference posing as]] [[TheSoundOfMusic Maria von Trapp]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: For Lucie. Knows it and hates it.

!!Mary Godwin (Eighth Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mary_8165.png]]
-->Voiced by: Julie Cox (2009-2011)

One of the Eighth Doctor's first companions, long before the regular timeline of the monthlies. Mary Godwin meets the Doctor at Lake Geneva, just before going on to write ''{{Literature/Frankenstein}}'' and, soon after, get married and become Mary Shelley (although she's already going by her fiancé's name). She's having difficulties in her relationship with Percy and his friends and jumps at the chance to escape it all for a bit.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She likes her men urbane yet wild, which is what attracts her to both Percy Shelley and the Doctor.
* AnachronicOrder: Her adventures with young Eight take place mid-way through his travels with Gemma and Samson Griffin, long before those of Charley Pollard and Lucie Miller. This was done to put a bit of a breather between "To The Death" and "Dark Eyes", and to explore what Eight's life was like before "Storm Warning" (and "Terror Firma"). The older Eighth Doctor, [[HaveWeMetYet whom she encounters first]], is straight from the Time War era.
* BrownEyes: With the symbolism it denotes.
* ConstantlyCurious: She is a would-be science fiction writer, after all. And some of the advanced things she sees would be even more outlandish to her than to the average companion.
* CrazyPrepared: She may be naive about the realities of time travel, but she does carry a small knife and a number of other useful things with her.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: She has a bit of a laudanum habit. The Doctor doesn't exactly approve.
* {{Diary}}: Keeps one.
* FamedInStory: The Doctor is especially concerned about not getting her killed, having plucked her out just before fame set in.
* HaveWeMetYet: She and the Doctor meet in the wrong order.
* HeroicBSOD: On her first trip, wondering what she was thinking coming to a place she didn't belong.
* NightmareFetishist: Slightly. She's morbidly impressed by some horrifying things.
* SilkHidingSteel: She's very composed.
* SpeculativeFiction: Considered, in story, as the mother of science fiction.
* SympathyForTheDevil: She became friends with a ''Cyberman.'' The Doctor later remarks that she tends to "side with the monster." It sets her up for the mindset behind the writing of ''Frankenstein''.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: At eighteen, she's already had two kids and outlived one of them. She's take-charge and maternal and slapped a girl (apparently) her age for her childish insolence.

!!Philippa "Flip" Jackson (Sixth Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flipj_9167.jpg]]
-->Voiced by: Lisa Greenwood (2011-present)

Flip is a supermarket checkout girl, a "late teens, fluffy handbag, Essex girl" hungry for a more exciting life. She's definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, but incredibly brave, and willing to throw herself into any kind of danger just to help people. First meets the Sixth Doctor during a misadventure with Thomas Brewster (see above) and eventually becomes his companion.

* BookDumb: She failed her driver's test, doesn't know the first thing about history, doesn't speak a word of French, and gets a little bit annoyed at Six's vocabulary.
* BritishAccents: Broad Estuary.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: She doesn't get scared easily, and even when she does, she still jumps in with both feet.
* GenreSavvy: Not especially intelligent, but she can tell when something just doesn't make sense. Leads to a dramatic case of WrongGenreSavvy when at one point she figures out that she's not in reality, but fails to notice that YourMindMakesItReal. (Luckily, Six manages to [[spoiler: get her BackFromTheDead.]])
* JumpedAtTheCall: Very enthusiastically.
* NiceGirl: She may be a little snarky, but she's tremendously sweet.
* PopCulturedBadass:
--> '''Flip:''' Well, um, I know that at Waterloo... Napoleon did surrender.
-->'''Napoleon:''' And who told you that, may I ask?

--> Voiced by: Beth Chalmers (2011, 2012)

Originally created for the TV series before it was cancelled, Raine teams up with the Seventh Doctor and Ace. She's a young burglar from a lower-class family who, armed with an affected posh accent and a healthy dose of sarcasm, decides to see what time and space are all about.

* BritishAccents: Posh as can be. Obviously affected, since her dad's cockney, and her mum was Russian.
* ClassyCatBurglar: With an expertise in safecracking.
* CommutingOnABus: She's a rare part-time companion, and sort of drifts in and out of the Doctor's life when she feels like it.
* FireForgedFriends: With Ace.
* LittleMissSnarker: Especially towards UNIT.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: She looks a lot like her mum, and Beth Chalmers voices both characters.

A medtech from the year 2865, who first meets the Seventh Doctor a few months after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E5TheRobotsOfDeath the Kaldor sandminer incident]] and -- one Dalek war later -- ends up as a companion to the Eighth.

* BrokenBird: The war with the Dalek Empire leaves her so broken, she ends up fleeing to the literal end of the universe -- something she's got in common with Eight at that point.
* GayBestFriend: Bas.
* GrandTheftMe: She's not the only one [[spoiler:in her body]].
* HumanPopsicle: Her body gets frozen during her long voyage on the Main/SleeperStarship, and her mind is stored on a microchip.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Becomes a willing "traitor" for the Daleks when the Dalek Empire shows up to colonise the planet she's on, just so she can continue to do her job as a doctor.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: And the one guy she sort of fancies doesn't stick around for long.
* SpaceClothes: She follows the Kaldor fashion and makeup trends before getting caught up in the Dalek war.
* VirtualGhost: In an especially bizarre example of the trope, [[spoiler: someone else's VirtualGhost gets copied onto her memory chip, allowing that person to occasionally wake up her body from cryosleep and sabotage the ship without her realising it]].
* [[spoiler:YourDaysAreNumbered]]: Due to having run away from the Dalek Empire under very unhealthy conditions.

!!Molly O'Sullivan (Eighth Doctor)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/molly_7785.png]]
->''Somewhere, behind the German lines, there were German girls, like me, looking at the terrible things our boys at done to their boys. Was I right? Eh? Was I right?''

--> Voiced by: Ruth Bradley (2012-present)

An Irish medical volunteer, working in France during World War I. She encounters the Doctor when he's rather suddenly found dying on the battlefield, and is quickly roped up in a full-scale Dalek invasion.

* BadAss: Tries to smack an EldritchAbomination with a ''rolling pin''.
* BerserkButton: Being called "Dark Eyes", especially once she figures out that it's more than just a nickname.
* BoisterousBruiser: She punches Eight ''in the face''.
* BrokenBird: Though healing well by 1918.
* BuffySpeak: A very rare example of TheStoic being fond of BuffySpeak, since she defaults to it even in stressful situations.
* CanonImmigrant: Mentioned in "[[{{Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor}} The Night of the Doctor]]".
* EyeTropes: She's got the titular dark eyes: perfectly black irises.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: She adapts quickly, but she much prefers her own time.
* HospitalHottie: Though absolutely not in the mood to be one at first. She's fully aware that her being a sexy HospitalHottie would only make things worse for the wounded soldiers, who have enough on their minds already. Also, at the start of her story she's full of nits anyway, and hasn't had a change of clothes (or a bath) in two weeks. Near the end of the war, she continues working as a nurse in London, and SheCleansUpNicely.
* InsistentTerminology: "Tardy box".
* LettingHerHairDown: When the war ends, she decides to treat herself to a vacation as the Doctor's companion, and mellows out a bit.
* MeaningfulName: When she starts mocking the Doctor's name, he informs her that her own name means "small fish dark-eyed". The nickname "Dark Eyes" sticks, although she's not too happy with it.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Like Tamsin, she's a ReplacementGoldfish for Lucie Miller. And like Tamsin, she's nowhere ''near'' willing to deal with Eight's emotional problems.
* [[spoiler: RippleEffectProofMemory]]: Ends up with one.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Kitty, the lady she worked for. Entirely PlayedForDrama.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Has deliberately stopped making friends to avoid getting even more emotionally damaged.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: She doesn't have time to put up with the Doctor, and she mocks him by addressing him as "The Doctor".
* TheStoic: Doesn't ever let her emotions get out of hand.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's extremely harsh and self-reliant, and has taught herself to ignore her emotions; but she's definitely TheHeart, and the reason she continues fighting is to save people no matter the cost.
* SurvivorGuilt: Ohh boy. Once Eight realises she has just as much SurvivorGuilt as he does, they start to bond over it a little.

!!TheMaster
-->Voiced by: Geoffrey Beevers (2001, 2003, 2012-2013), [[spoiler: MarkGatiss]] (2003), David Garfield (2010), [[spoiler: Alex Macqueen]] (2012, 2014)

The Doctor's former Academy buddy, and one of the main antagonists in the TV series. Pops up with some frequency in Creator/BigFinish, typically unannounced and accompanied by a grand [[TheReveal reveal]].

* AlternateUniverse: In the Unbound release [[spoiler: "Sympathy For The Devil"]], he's been [[spoiler: working with the government for decades, without the Third Doctor around to stop him.]]
* BaldOfEvil: The [[spoiler: Alex Macqueen]] incarnation.
* {{Camp}}: In one particular incarnation, he's even more theatrical and "look-at-me"-ish than Six. The Seventh Doctor mentions to his companion if ''he's'' ever [[spoiler: found shouting "Later!", to shoot him between the eyes]].
* BoxedCrook: In "Eyes of the Master" the Mcqueen Master claims the Time Lords resurrected him to help them against the Daleks.
* CatchPhrase: [[spoiler: "Hello, you!"]]
* TheChessmaster: A fan of setting up dominos and then watching them fall.
* LouisCypher: Posing as a "Dr. De'Ath" may have been ''a bit'' overdramatic.
* EyeScream: In order to track down Molly O'Sullivan and her dark eyes, he spends some time posing as an optometrist. It goes [[BodyHorror exactly like you'd expect]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: In [[spoiler: "UNIT: Dominion"]], his cheery disposition doesn't drop even slightly after he reveals himself to be the Master. (He just gets [[EvilIsHammy hammier]].)
* FutureMeScaresMe: Invoked when he pretends to be [[spoiler: a future regeneration of the Doctor]].
** TheFogOfAges: Invoked in the same story, as an excuse for why he supposedly can't remember a lot of important things.
* JokerImmunity
* {{Keet}}: In [[spoiler: "UNIT: Dominion"]], he's excitable, enthusiastic and, most importantly, '''loud'''.
* LargeHam: Although it depends on the regeneration. The [[spoiler: Creator/MarkGatiss]] Master, in his one Unbound story, is positively restrained compared to some of the others.
** After his incredibly hammy turn in his debut [[spoiler: "UNIT: Dominion"]], Macqueen's Master is notably more restrained in Dark Eyes 2.
* LossOfIdentity: In the episode "Master".
* NotSoDifferent: From Seven. Played entirely for horror once it's revealed to what extent this trope is in effect.
* [[TheNthDoctor The Nth Master]]: The Geoffrey Beevers Master, seen in the TV series in "The Keeper Of Traken", is the one usually encountered by the Doctor in Big Finish. Several stories feature alternate or future regenerations.
** Creator/BenedictCumberbatch even [[WhatCouldHaveBeen asked if he could have a go at the part]], but was rejected because the RoleAssociation from other shows he's in would be too strong.
* PhlebotinumOverload: The first time he's encountered in Creator/BigFinish, he's messed with the wrong EldritchAbomination, causing him to [[spoiler: lose the Anthony Ainley body and revert back to his old crispy Geoffrey Beevers-shaped self]].
* SharpDressedMan: The [[spoiler: Alex Macqueen]] incarnation combines a simple, classic suit with a velvet jacket, and prides himself on his fashion sense.
* ShoutOutToShakespeare: In "Eyes of the Master" seems fond of this.
* SignificantAnagram: Both with his own name, and with the actors' names.
* StartOfDarkness: We get to hear his very first murder, back on Gallifrey. [[spoiler: Except it wasn't.]]
* TomatoInTheMirror: In "Master". It's a ForegoneConclusion from the start, and the episode isn't so much about TheReveal as it is about its consequences.
* WickedCultured: ''Oh'' yes.
* WritingAroundTrademarks: For their adaptation of the unused TV script "The Hollows of Time", Big Finish couldn't get permission to use the Master. The character of "Professor Stream" is left ambiguous -- though there are enough hints to gather that it's him.

!!Rassilon
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rassilon_1975.png]]
-->Voiced by: Don Warrington (2002-2004), Conrad Westmaas (2003)

One of the triumvirate who founded all of Time Lord society, and the first Lord President of Gallifrey. Long since believed dead, his legacy still plays a part of modern Time Lord society.

* BigBad: To the Eighth Doctor up to the end of the Divergent Universe Arc.
* BigBadFriend: To Omega.
* BadBoss: [[spoiler:To the Kro'ka. When he sniggers at Rassilon's BlatantLies he tortures him. When he failed Rassilon in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho063Caerdroia Caerdroia]] the swelling took 3 weeks to go down]].
* TheChessmaster: Not necessarily the creator of all of the Doctor's problems in his first series, but certainly involved in them.
* [[spoiler: EvilutionaryBiologist]]: The concept of Regeneration was [[spoiler: outright stolen from the Vampires]]. And the reason for the abundance of [[HumanoidAliens bipedial, humanoid aliens]] in the Whoniverse? [[spoiler: Rassilon threw those that didn't fit the mold into a pocket universe and/or ensured they never existed in the first place, whichever was more expedient for him]]. (Although, the vampire bit was part of a projection, which the TARDIS stated was based on facts but not necessarily the entire truth.)
* FateWorseThanDeath: Inflicted one upon those that would eventually become known as "the Divergent". [[spoiler: Also suffers one himself, forced to re-enact "Scherzo" without end...with Kro'ka as company, as opposed to Charley, which must rub salt in the wound a touch]].
* ForeShadowing: Between "Neverland" and "Zagreus", the episode "Omega" showed us the sheer extent of Rassilon's political manipulation tricks.
* MessianicArchetype: During "Neverland" (and his {{Foreshadowing}} appearances before it) he appears practically as a benevolent God, helping out his "favoured son", the Doctor. Later stories show this to be [[spoiler: a massive front, however]].
* PathOfInspiration: Established [[spoiler: The Foundation]].
* SelfProclaimedLiar: [[spoiler: Tells C'rizz he is this.]]
* RaceLift: His episodes were the first ''Series/DoctorWho'' stories to establish the idea that Time Lords can be black, which was later carried over to the TV series by Creator/RussellTDavies, and became a huge plot point under Creator/StevenMoffat. The idea is a few ''years'' OlderThanTheyThink.
* WickedCultured: In "The Next Life", he quotes Macbeth.

!!Omega
-->Voiced by: Ian Collier (2003)

After [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E1ArcOfInfinity "Arc Of Infinity"]], Omega (of course) survived and went on to try and reclaim his position as one of the most powerful Time Lords in history. It doesn't go very well.

* {{Adorkable}}: Seriously -- especially during his flashbacks to Gallifrey Academy.
* AffablyEvil: Depending on the state of his sanity, he crosses straight over into EvillyAffable.
* TheBusCameBack: Still played by Ian Collier and everything!
* EtTuBrute: To Rassilon.
* [[spoiler: FakeMemories]]: It's revealed that [[spoiler: when he made another copy of Five's body after "Arc Of Infinity", he was also saddled with some of Five's memories.]] As it turns out, Five [[spoiler: is the one who committed genocide (though entirely by accident), and Omega's evil deeds -- if any -- pale in comparison to what the Doctor has done.]]
* LargeHam
* LossOfIdentity
* NotSoDifferent: From Five. Five really, really tries his best to help Omega.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Omega is [[spoiler: the nickname he got for the lowest grade ever given at the Gallifrey Academy -- grade omega. His real name is Peylix]].
** Also, he rather adorably called Rassilon "Raz".
* SanitySlippage
* StartOfDarkness
* [[spoiler:TalkingToThemself]]
* UnreliableNarrator

!!Davros
-->Voiced by: Terry Molloy (2003-present)

Davros first appeared for ADayInTheLimelight in the episode "Davros", and went on to get his own Creator/BigFinish spinoff titled "I, Davros". He also encounters the Doctor in the regular monthly episodes on occasion.

* AndIMustScream: He spent ninety years floating in a space capsule, completely alone, with every second feeling like the worst kind of psychological torture.
* {{Asexuality}}: In addition to being MarriedToTheJob. He gets a lot of ShipTease with co-worker Shan, but Davros claims he just isn't actually wired to fancy anybody.
* BodyHorror: One of the flashbacks in the "Davros" episode details the moments after Davros having narrowly survived a Thal attack, but suffered horrific injuries because of it, including having most of his flesh cooked off.
--> '''Davros:''' ...what ...what is that smell?
--> '''Ral:''' [hesitantly] ...it's ''you'', Davros.
* CreepyMonotone: 16-year-old Davros, heard in "Innocence", almost sounds like a regular inquisitive teenaged boy -- but speaks in a detached and scientific way, with very blunted affect. The result is genuinely creepy.
* EnemyMine: He comes to deeply admire the Sixth Doctor, and considers him the closest thing he's got to a friend. Six does not agree. At all.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Gets into one with Six.
* FreudianExcuse: Invoked: his childhood was a bit screwed up, with his mother being pretty much an {{Expy}} of [[Series/IClaudius Livia]]. Still, it's abundantly clear that he would have become a MadScientist no matter what, and that's he's naturally a sociopath.
* JokerImmunity: PlayedForDrama; Six recognises it as yet another way in which he and Davros are NotSoDifferent.
* LargeHam
* LaughingMad: "The Davros Mission" gives us Davros having a laughing fit, at the idea that anyone would want to save him. It's terrifying.
* LongGame: In "Terror Firma", it's revealed that [[spoiler: he's been tracking the TARDIS]] ever since [[spoiler: "Storm Warning"]].
* LossOfIdentity: During his encounter with Eight.
* MadDoctor: Leads to one ''hell'' of a WhamLine in "Terror Firma":
--> '''Davros:''' I was able to operate --
--> '''Eighth Doctor:''' My TARDIS?
--> '''Davros:''' Operate [[spoiler: ''on'' your TARDIS]].
* MortonsFork: A core element of the "Masters Of War" story is Davros constantly having to choose between two negative outcomes: either give his Daleks some kind of moral compass and compassion and have his entire army be more vulnerable because of it, or create them without morals and inevitably end up betrayed by them. The episode really dives into this idea and explores it from all possible angles.
* MotiveRant: He's infamous for getting in at least one good rant per story. His day in the limelight episode, therefore, begins with one showing his thoughts immediately after receiving his injuries.
* NotSoDifferent: From Six. Davros poses that they might have been friends if they hadn't been enemies. Six does ''not'' agree.
* PsychologicalHorror
* StartOfDarkness: We first get to hear a few flashbacks of his life on Skaro before he became an EvilCripple. After that, the box set "I, Davros" follows his military career starting at age 16, and offers a glimpse into his family circumstances. As it turns out, he was always evil.

!!Morbius
--> Voiced by: Samuel West (2008)

The legendary old Time Lord returns with a vengeance after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E5TheBrainOfMorbius his defeat on Karn]], and tries to use the Eighth Doctor's body to restore his own.

* BodyHorror: What he does to poor Straxus.
* TheDreaded: To the point that Eight tries to cross his own timeline to stop Morbius and entire star systems surrender out of fear.
* TheEmperor: Becomes this for thousands of worlds.
* LifeDrinker: He survives by "feeding" on the genes of Straxus.
* [[spoiler: ResetButton]]: He manages to enslave much for the universe [[spoiler: for ten years]], but [[spoiler: the timeline gets reset]].
* [[spoiler: TakingYouWithMe]]: How the Doctor defeats him. [[spoiler:This isn't intentional on the Doctor's part.]]
* VictoryIsBoring: Feels this after years of conquering worlds.

!!The Celestial Toymaker
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toymaker_3593.png]]
--> Voiced by: David Bailie (2009, 2010)

[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E7TheCelestialToymaker He's back]] to play more games. Encounters the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors.

* AbortedArc: His encounter with Six was originally planned for the TV series.
* AdventureGame: Forces Charley to play what is essentially a real life version of ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}''.
* ChronicVillainy
* ExactWords
* TheGMIsACheatingBastard
* ImmortalityHurts: Not that he cares much.
* [[TheNthDoctor The Nth Celestial Toymaker]]
* TricksterArchetype
* WorldLimitedToThePlot: His toy shop.

!!The Monk
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monk7_455.png]]
-->Voiced by: Graeme Garden (2010-2012)

A fellow rogue Time Lord. The Monk has been keeping busy since his last appearance in the TV series, "improving" history across the universe. And he's started taking on human companions.

* {{Adorkable}}: Has his moments, notably when he calls his TARDIS chameleon circuit his [[Literature/LifeTheUniverseAndEverything "SEP field"]].
* AntiVillain: Starts out as this in Creator/BigFinish, until he crosses the MoralEventHorizon.
* BadHabits
* BigBad: Is this for Series 4 of the New Eighth Doctor Adventures.
* EasilyForgiven: Notably subverted. [[spoiler: Eight can't bring himself to forgive the Monk.]]
* EvilCounterpart: He and the Doctor see ''each other'' as this. They both make frighteningly good points.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Thinking he could work with the Daleks at all.
* GenreBlindness: Working with the Daleks and thinking this will give him an opportunity to help worlds attacked by them. This leads to things getting much worse and [[spoiler: Tamsin dying]].
* GreyAndGreyMorality: Gets into a ''huge'' argument with Eight over whether it's better to directly kill one person and save a thousand, or to let a thousand people die because it's morally wrong to decide over the fate of one. Goes straight into BlackAndGreyMorality in the season 4 finale.
* ImMrFuturePopCultureReference: He goes by "Thelonious".
* KnightTemplar
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Has two: [[spoiler: Lucie]] and [[spoiler: Tamsin]]. Becomes one himself to [[spoiler: the Daleks]].
* [[TheNthDoctor The Nth Monk]]: He's regenerated since the Doctor last saw him.
* NotSoDifferent: The main point of his character -- he invokes this trope against the Doctor every chance he gets.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Sees himself as this, and uses it to justify his actions. Entirely PlayedForDrama.

[[folder:Villains (not originally from the TV series)]]

!!Dr. Elizabeth Klein [Alternate Universe]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kleinoriginal_514.jpg]]
-->Voiced by: Tracey Childs (2001, 2009-2010)

This Elizabeth Klein is an anomaly of time travel. She comes from an alternate future where the Nazis won the second World War, a future that never happened thanks to her going back into the past to use the Seventh Doctor to figure out how the TARDIS, now in Nazi hands, worked. The Doctor later ran into her in 1950's Kenya and took her aboard the TARDIS. This... [[ApocalypseHow did not turn out well]]. Our own universe has a Klein as well: see the entry under "Companions" for her tropes.

* BadassNormal: One of the few humans to outsmart the Doctor.
* CosmicRetcon: Not only in dealing with her own timeline, but [[spoiler: with what she does to the universe at large after a few jumps in ''her'' TARDIS]].
* DrJerk: ...without many of those PetTheDog moments other examples are known for.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite fully believing the Nazi "master race" rhetoric, Klein herself finds similar actions taken by characters in both "A Thousand Tiny Wings" and "Survival of the Fittest" to be abhorrent.
* FanOfThePast: Well, ''her'' past.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope
* [[LastOfHisKind Last of Her Timeline]]
* RetGone: Inverted, in that her entire original universe is gone, replaced by the "wrong" one: ours. Played straight when [[spoiler: the Doctor's hand is forced, choosing to wipe Klein from ever having existed in order to restore the universe to order. Klein herself ''does'' still exist in some form in our universe -- as a member of UNIT. But still.]]
* TimeyWimeyBall

!!Nimrod
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nimrod_3029.png]]
-->Voiced by: Stephen Chance (2001, 2003, 2010)

A MadScientist encountered by the Sixth and Seventh Doctors at varying points in their respective timelines in "Project: Twilight," "Project: Lazarus" and "Project Destiny". Nimrod was originally Dr. William Abberton, a scientist working for an organization known as the Forge, which was then conducting experiments with DNA in order to create a super-soldier serum. (Not to be confused with the character of the same name from the Seventh Doctor episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E2GhostLight Ghost Light]]".)

* AutomaticCrossbows: His weapon of choice.
* BadBoss
* BaldOfEvil
* FauxAffablyEvil: Even while he's asking for your help and hoping you'll believe he's turned over a new leaf, he's thinking of all the ways he can KickTheDog once you've outlived your usefulness.
* HollywoodCyborg
* TheHunter: In "Project:Twilight," as his moniker implies.
* IcyBlueEyes
* ImplacableMan: Yeah, you're pretty much not getting away from him if he wants to hunt you down. And it's ''incredibly'' hard to kill him, thanks to his PoweredArmor and [[spoiler:being a vampire]].
* MadDoctor
* MadScientist
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Mad scientist [[spoiler: vampire zombie]] robot [[UpToEleven in a polycarbide armor battle suit]], to be precise.
* [[spoiler: OurVampiresAreDifferent]]
* PoweredArmor
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Not too surprising that a guy who calls himself Nimrod has a fondness for naming things around him after Greek mythology. His underlings, such as Artemis and Aristedes, tend to have Greek code names, and the activation of the "Hades Protocol" in "Project: Lazarus" really doesn't sound like anything you'd want to stick around for.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: In "Project: Destiny".

!!Grayvorn
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grayvorn_5904.png]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/AnthonyHead (2002)

The principal villain of the four-part Excelis audio [[NonIndicativeTitle trilogy]], Grayvorn is initially a clever and ambitious (if violent) warlord during his planet's medieval period. He becomes immortal through rather complicated circumstances and proceeds to guide the history of Excelis through its renaissance and ultimately its nuclear destruction. Was encountered by the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors and by Iris Wildthyme, tying into BerniceSummerfield's story arc.

* CrossThrough
* FirstPersonSmartass
* GeniusBruiser: He's violent and boorish when the Fifth Doctor first encounters him, but he is a canny and driven leader.
* GenreBusting: His arc spans SwordAndSorcery, Victorian-era politics and a futuristic {{Dystopia}}.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: "And only then could I truly say that my mortal mind was lost."
* IHaveManyNames: Three, at least. (Lord Grayvorn, Reeve Maupassant, Lord Vaughan Sutton.)
** Interestingly, the Seventh Doctor takes on "Vaughan Sutton" as an alias in a later unrelated episode, when "John Smith" is taken.
* LargeHam: Oh yes.
* MadDoctor
* MadScientist
* {{Narrator}}: In "Excelis Dawns."
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
* WhoWantsToLiveForever
* WrongGenreSavvy: He's certain that he's the fearsome villain of a sweeping SwordAndSorcery epic... but he's having a pretty hard time trying to convince everyone else of that. Iris Wildthyme thinks he's a funny old dear who can hold her grocery bags.

!!Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood
-->Voiced by: Creator/DavidTennant (2003, 2005)

A rather shouty soldier who appears in both the UNIT audios and the AlternateUniverse audio "Sympathy For The Devil". In the alternate history, he becomes head of UNIT after TheBrigadier retires. In the UNIT audios, he's a senior UNIT officer who gets kidnapped early on, and [[spoiler: is secretly the leader of ultra-nationalist paramilitary movement ICIS]]. Most notable for being played by Creator/DavidTennant before the TV series was even revived.

* AlternateUniverse: In "Sympathy For The Devil".
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler: He very briefly considers giving Emily all the attention that he imagines she wanted from him all along. She gives him ''the beating of a lifetime'', with ''his own gun''.]]
* [[spoiler: TheMole]]
* PatrioticFervor: ([[spoiler: The bad kind. He hates UNIT because they work for the UN]])
* ViolentGlaswegian

!!Zagreus
-> ''Zagreus sits inside your head,''
-> ''Zagreus lives among the dead,''
-> ''Zagreus sees you in your bed, ''
-> ''And eats you when you're sleeping.''

-->Voiced by: Creator/PaulMcGann (2003), [[spoiler: Nicholas Courtney]] (2003), [[spoiler: Daphne Ashbrook]] (2004)

Zagreus is just an old Gallifreyan nursery rhyme, so he shouldn't actually logically exist. This doesn't deter him any.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: In the episode "The Next Life", [[spoiler: she tries to get the Doctor to shag her when she's in Perfection's body. The Doctor's suitably disgusted when he realises who she is. Made extra funny by the fact that she's played by Daphne Ashbrook, who played companion Grace Holloway in the Eighth Doctor's debut]].
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: The Eighth Doctor makes a good show of being ObliviousToLove towards Charlotte, and completely ignores her obvious crush on him. Zagreus... doesn't.
--> Did you miss me? Did your little human heart ache when I was gone? Did you have bad thoughts about me in the small dark hours before the dawn?
* BadassBoast: In a direct reference Creator/PaulCornell's "Love And War" and Creator/StevenMoffat's "Literature/ContinuityErrors":
--> Monster, am I? ''Monster''? '''I''' am what the monsters have nightmares about!
* [[spoiler: DragonWithAnAgenda]]: To [[spoiler: Rassilon]].
* EldritchAbomination
* EvilIsHammy
* ForeShadowing: The Sixth Doctor hums the Zagreus rhyme ''two and a half years'' before Zagreus shows up in Creator/BigFinish proper. The rhyme is repeated a few more times before the "Zagreus" episode.
* [[spoiler: GenderBender]]
* HamToHamCombat: With the Eighth Doctor. They share a body and fight for dominance, while they're both coping with extreme SanitySlippage and LossOfIdentity.
* InsaneTrollLogic: When the TARDIS locks Zagreus inside a [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext semi-metaphorical Schrödinger's Cat lead box]], Zagreus tells her that he's dead now, so she'd better let him out. When the TARDIS pointedly remarks that dead people generally don't talk, Zagreus tries to convince her that she's mad for talking back to a dead person, so she'd better let him out.
** To his credit, that ''did'' work for the Doctor in "Shada".
* IronicNurseryRhyme
* [[spoiler: JumpingTheGenderBarrier]]: In "The Next Life", [[spoiler: she's stolen a female body, and realises she can now bear children. Her brains and the Eighth Doctor's beauty.]] Eight has a ''number'' of issues with that statement.
* '''LargeHam''': Both in Eight's body and [[spoiler: as Perfection]].
* LaughingMad
* TheMadHatter: He knows he's insane. He doesn't like it very much, but it's all he has, and he makes the most of it.
* SanitySlippage:
--> Trust me, you don’t want to be mad. I’m not enjoying it one bit.
* SharingABody: With the Eighth Doctor [[spoiler: and the TARDIS]].
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits Charley Pollard in the face. It terrifies her.
* YourMindMakesItReal

!!The Kro'ka
-->Voiced by: Stephen Perring (2004)

A sniveling invisible git from the Divergent universe. Takes an interest in the Eighth Doctor and the TARDIS, while directing the heroes across different habitats and scenarios.

* BizarreAlienBiology: All we ever learn is that he has no neck, no arms and no legs. The Kro'ka promptly kicks the Doctor, who concedes that they can define "legs" as "anything that can kick". Later he says he has only two pairs of hands.
* ButtMonkey: As the Doctor says "Poor old Kro'ka. Everybody's whipping boy!"
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Rassilon]] even says he's not happy unless he's snivelling.
* DiscretionShot: The Doctor eventually forces the Kro'ka to shut off his invisibility. Then tells him to turn it back on, because apparently he looks like "a dog's breakfast".
* TheDragon: To [[spoiler: the Divergence or rather Daqar Keep, who has [[TheAssimilator absorbed them]]]]. And to [[spoiler: Rassilon]].
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: The Doctor pulls one on him.
* [[spoiler: FateWorseThanDeath]]: In the end, he's forced to [[spoiler: re-enact "Scherzo" for all eternity]] together with [[spoiler: Rassilon]].
* MindRape
* RailRoading: During the entire Divergent Universe arc, he alone decides where Eight and his companions go.

!!"Robert Knox"
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/knoxasdasd_2047.png]]
-->Voiced by: Leslie Samuel Phillips, CBE (2004, 2008)

A very nasty human who acquired a Type-70 TARDIS, figured out how to fly it, and decided to sell his newfound RealityWarper abilities out to all the dirty old men of the universe. Appears disguised as various {{Historical Domain Character}}s, starting with Dr. Robert Knox.

* [[spoiler: CameBackWrong]]: As of "Assassin In The Limelight".
* FauxAffablyEvil: He can be quite a gentleman, albeit a nasty one.
* HistoricalInJoke: Is especially fond of them, and loves [[ImMrFuturePopCultureReference posing as]] historical characters long before their time.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Becomes the very first adversary in all of ''Series/DoctorWho'' -- [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth but certainly not the last]] -- to be defeated by the power of Creator/DavidTennant's [[spoiler:hugs]].
* RealityWarper: He freely uses his TARDIS to mess with the Web of Time and set up GroundhogDayLoop scenarios.
* [[spoiler: TheUndead]]: In his second appearance.
* VillainTeamUp: He makes a pact with [[spoiler: The Indo]], then promptly regrets it.
* WickedCultured: At heart, he's a man of the arts, specifically theatre.

A Time Lord and member of the Gallifreyan Celestial Intervention Agency, Straxus encounters the Eighth Doctor throughout the New Eighth Doctor Adventures arcs.

* AnachronicOrder: His Oliver Hume regeneration is younger than the ones that appeared earlier.
* AntiVillain
* BlackAndBlackMorality: Time Lords vs. Daleks in "Dark Eyes".
* BodyHorror: He spends [[spoiler: ten years]] as Morbius's bound slave, with Morbius [[spoiler: continuously harvesting cells from him]]. [[spoiler: That timeline gets reset, though]].
* BreakoutCharacter: The original actor had to be fired, and Nickolas Grace was called in at the last moment to fill in. His performance was so well-liked that Straxus kept being written into more and more stories. As one of Creator/NicholasBriggs' favourite characters to write, he got ''significantly'' more CharacterDevelopment than was originally planned, and eventually became a central character in "Dark Eyes".
* CharacterDevelopment: All over "Dark Eyes".
* CrossThrough: Also appears in one BerniceSummerfield episode, "The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel".
* FantasticRacism: Seems to have shades of this towards Lucie.
* [[spoiler:FutureMeScaresMe]]: Considering [[spoiler: his future self]] is [[spoiler: Kotris]], working together with [[spoiler: the Daleks]] in order to [[spoiler: wipe out all Time Lords from having ever existed]].
* HeelRealisation: [[spoiler: Eventually became so disgusted by Time Lord machinations that when he regenerated he took on the name Krotis, and became a Dalek ally.]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicSuicide]]: [[spoiler: Tries to commit HeroicSuicide fairly early on in "Dark Eyes". His future self, however, has already taken measures to prevent it. The third attempt sticks, though this doesn't seem intentional on his part.]]
* IHatePastMe: To an extreme degree. [[spoiler: Straxus kept all his guilt and self-loathing bottled up. Eventually it got loose when he regenerated. This new incarnation of Straxus was utterly '''disgusted''' by his previous self's actions and Time Lord hyprocisy in general so much that he changed his name to Krotis, and allied himself with the Daleks to wipe them out.]]
* JustFollowingOrders: His specialty. He eventually stops, but it's not exactly a positive development.
* [[TheNthDoctor The Nth Straxus]]
* PetTheDog: His reaction to Lucie [[spoiler:when the Doctor apparently died fighting Morbius.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist

!!The Headhunter
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/headhunter_7225.png]]
--> Voiced by: Katarina Olsson (2007-2009)

Lucie Miller's personal villain, the Headhunter is an opportunist who'll gladly sell her services to the highest bidder. After her initial story arc is over, she takes on Karen as a minion and goes off in search of new adventures. She has a knack for interfering in Lucie's life without either of them particularly wanting it, and becomes a recurring antagonist to Lucie and the Eighth Doctor for three full seasons.

* BadassBureaucrat / BadassBookworm: Is able to fly the TARDIS, ''solo'', by reading the (17 volume) quick start manual. (She arrives [[spoiler: 600 years]] too late, though.)
* ConsummateProfessional
* DeadpanSnarker
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Absolutely refuses to give her real name, even when it could save her life.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Constantly on the verge of dumping Karen, but subverted in the end.

!!Viyrans
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/viyran_2372.jpg]]
--> Played by: various actors (2007-present)

An race created by ancient WellIntentionedExtremist scientists, who created a number of very nasty biological weapons to use in their warfare. Realising that those viruses might end up destroying the universe, they set the Viyrans the goal of wiping them all out again. Every single bit of them. Every single bit of potential of someone, somewhere, ''maybe'' mutating a gene that ''might'' cause them to develop the diseases. And if they can't destroy the virus, they'll gladly murder its carriers. First encounter the Sixth Doctor and Peri, then get mixed up thoroughly in Charley Pollard's life thanks to the Dalek Time Controller, before becoming antagonists to the Eighth Doctor and Molly. Originally showed up to bother Ten and Rose in the short prose story "No One Died".

* AmbiguousRobots: They're all a bit StrawVulcan, and it's clear that they're constructs, but they can also feel pain.
* TheAtoner: Travelling through time and space to destroy the viruses their creators once made.
* BadBoss: To Charley Pollard, eventually, although she's willing to act as a sort of ComicBook/SilverSurfer to them.
* FakeMemories: They have the technology to implant any memory into someone, which Charley gladly makes use of [[spoiler: to remove all memories of herself from Six's mind]].
* PullingThemselvesTogether: After a Viyran treads on a land mine it reforms.
* VoiceChangeling: How they can communicate with people, through AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Genocide is their answer to a lot of things. The Doctor's companions, particularly Peri and Charley, occasionally manage to convince them otherwise.

!!Nobody No-One
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wordlord_1877.jpg]]
--> Voiced by: Paul Reynolds (2008) & Ian Reddington (2010)

Think of a Time Lord, only one coming from a reality made of words and verb structure rather than space and time. You now have the makings of a Word Lord. This particular one goes by the name of Nobody No-One, and rather likes to be a thorn in the side of the Seventh Doctor. The awkward twist is that his abilities are derived from words uttered or written down. So, for example, if someone were to write "Nobody could stop me from finishing the next sentence," then he would. Come to think of it, adding him to this wiki might be a mista

* AnimeHair: His Paul Reynolds incarnation looks (and acts) like a twisted parody of the Tenth Doctor.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: A scary variant, rather than comedy. The Word Lord is ''very'' clever in manipulating people into saying things in his favour.
-->'''Evelyn''': Nobody should have that kind of power.
-->'''Nobody''': Oh! ''Thanks!''
* EvilCounterpart: Invoked on a meta level at first, since he's very much like the Tenth Doctor. Deliberately invoked in-story later on, when he goes around wearing a Fourth Doctor style scarf just for fun.
* ForTheEvulz: Pretty much the only reason Nobody No-One is antagonizing the Doctor. Sure, he's taken a double-job from the Daleks (who want the Doctor's dead body) and Cybermen (who want his brain), but his real reward will be to see the joy the Daleks get from their worst enemy dead at their feet.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Literally. At first he seems harmless. Then you utter something like, say... "Nobody can [[spoiler: kill the Doctor]]". And then he can.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Once you realize the power of language...
* LargeHam: Paul Reynolds plays his Word Lord as a lethal [[Creator/DavidTennant Tenth Doctor]]. It is as awesome and fearful as it sounds. Reddington plays his version of Nobody No-One as a more restrained Word Lord, but occasionally goes over the deep end as well.
* [[spoiler: NobodyDies]]: Thanks to a massive BatmanGambit set up by Seven, Ace and Evelyn.
* TheNthDoctor: His second appearance is a regeneration, forced upon him when [[NoodleIncident he crashed into the 27th letter of the English Alphabet]].
* PsychoForHire: Doesn't much care about the rewards, wanting to hunt down the most dangerous creatures across the Multiverse and takes pleasure in killing, wanting to take Hex despite the small reward.
* RealityWarper: One of the most dangerous villains in all of ''Doctor Who''. The only way the Doctor manages to defeat him at first is by [[spoiler: committing a very real and very permanent HeroicSacrifice]]. Ace manages to outthink him and [[spoiler: bring the Doctor back to life]], although it takes her [[spoiler: well over a year]]. And even when Evelyn [[spoiler: sacrifices her own life]] to rid the universe of him, he gleefully invokes his own JokerImmunity. And all that takes place ''in the same episode''.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Nobody knows how old he is. No, really. But he's not telling.
* RetGone: A walking version of it, should someone be ignorant enough to give him that much power.

!!The Dalek Time Controller
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/timecontrol_3025.jpg]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/NicholasBriggs (2009-present)

A Dalek from the far future, which was created with an evolved mind that allowed it to perceive time in a more advanced manner than a standard Dalek. Consequently, the Dalek time controller was given the position of strategist for all Dalek time missions. Chronologically (from its perspective) first meets the Eleventh Doctor in the BBC novel "The Dalek Generation" and later encounters the Sixth Doctor, before becoming a main antagonist to the Eighth Doctor. In the Eighth Doctor's opinion, this is the most threatening Dalek of them all.

* AmoralAttorney: [[spoiler:In "The Dalek Generation" it spends much of the story acting as the Dalek Litigator, who prosecutes the Doctor for "hate crimes" against the Daleks.]]
* ArchEnemy: Seems to become this for the later Eighth Doctor.
* BigBad: For the "Dark Eyes" series against the Eighth Doctor. Begins a bit earlier with "Lucie Miller" and "To the Death".
** BiggerBad: He's the driving force behind the Daleks in what will become the Last Great Time War.
* TheChessmaster: Throughout most of of "The Dalek Generation".
* ConquerorFromTheFuture: Is hurled back thousands of years and decides to perform another Dalek Invasion of Earth.
** Moreover, his origin in aiding the New Dalek Paradigm makes him implicitly a New Series villain thrown back in time to fight the classic Doctors.
* CrossThrough: His appearance outside of Six's timeline seriously freaks out Eight. To make things more complicated, he's also the main villain in "The Dalek Generation", a novel written by Creator/NicholasBriggs, in which (from his perspective) he meets the Doctor for the first time... and his first Doctor is, via LoopholeAbuse of the story being a BBC Books novel and not a Big Finish audio play, the ''Eleventh'' Doctor whom he meets post Time War (relatively speaking) while working for the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks New Dalek Paradigm]].
* EnemyMine: In ''[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDASDarkEyes2E1TheTraitor The Traitor]]'', the Doctor helps him against [[spoiler:the Eminence]].
* {{Expy}}/EvilCounterpart: Seems to be one for Dalek Caan of the New Series, as like Caan he was flung through time and saw all of eternity and every possibility as well as the whole of Dalek history. Unlike Caan who was driven insane with horror at the true evil of the Daleks, the Time Controller instead saw exactly how he could mastermind the Dalek's conquest of all eternity.
** Eight even subtly references this by asking how he could see eternity and not find some humility and perspective, before realising how unlikely a Dalek learning from history would be.
* AGodAmI: In "Dark Eyes 3", he states that he is a '''Time Lord''' Dalek, and that through him, the Daleks will be the new masters of time and space.
* HaveWeMetYet: First meets the 11th Doctor, then the 6th Doctor, then becomes the ArchEnemy of the 8th Doctor.
* JokerImmunity
* TheOmniscient
* PlagueMaster: Plans to annihilate all life in the universe by reusing the Dalek's plan to pilot earth as a mobile base and mass infecting it with the deadliest bio weapons in the universe so the Daleks could simply teleport Earth across the universe spreading the plagues in its wake.
* RippleEffectProofMemory
* TimeyWimeyBall: Their life is largely this, though he was created to master that. From his perspective the first time he meets the Doctor is in the Post Time-War timeline.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Eventually murders [[spoiler: Straxus]], even though doing so completely resets the timeline. Since the Dalek Time Controller has become TheOmniscient at that point, it doesn't matter to him.

!!The Eminence

A FogOfDoom that turns people into zombies. First appear in "The Seeds of War".

* BigBad: Of Dark Eyes 2.
* EnemyMine: The Time Lords foresee a possible future where the Eminence are the only life form in the Universe and hope to work with them to prevent the Daleks ending up as the dominant life form of the Universe.
* GodzillaThreshold: In contrast the Doctor is willing to work with the Dalek Time Controller against them.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: People who inhale the breath of forever from the Eminence are turned into their Infinite Warriors. [[http://www.thetimewarriors.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Times-Horizon-cover.jpg Here is one]].
* TheVirus
[[/folder]]

* CrossThrough: His appearance outside of Six's timeline seriously freaks out Eight. To make things more complicated, he's also the main villain in "The Dalek Generation", a novel written by Creator/NicholasBriggs, in which (from his perspective) he meets the Doctor for the first time... and his first Doctor is, via LoopholeAbuse of the story being a BBC Books novel and not a Big Finish audio play, the ''Eleventh'' Doctor whom he meets post Time War (relatively speaking) while working for the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E03VictoryOfTheDaleks New Dalek Paradigm]].

* FoeYay: The Macqueen!Master tries this with the Eighth Doctor, while at the same time noting that he couldn't stand the Seventh.

* TheOtherDarrin: Before Creator/TomBaker finally signed, Four was briefly played by [[Series/DeadRingers famous impersonator Jon Culshaw]] for a recording in "The Kingmaker".

* PlayingAgainstType: In [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho050Zagreus "Zagreus"]], Peter Davison is cast as a particularly JerkAss reverend (who is also an aspect of the Doctor -- ItMakesSenseInContext), a rather massive difference from the TV version of the Doctor, or even from the darker aspects of the Fifth Doctor that come out at times.

* TalkingToHimself: In most stories, Fraser Hines voices Two, and most fans say it's a spot-on impression.

* TalkingToHimself: She frequently talks to a possible hallucination of her previous incarnation. He isn't that reliable, so it's likely she's just dead drunk.

* NamesTheSame: Not to be confused with the MarvelUniverse's RedSkull, although both of their backstories involved Nazis.

* AscendedFanon: Just like with Ace, her last name was established in other parts of the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse.

* RealLifeRelative: Jake [=McGann=] is the son of Eighth Doctor actor Paul [=McGann=].

* AscendedFanon: Lucie calls the Monk "The Meddling Monk", the first time he's ever been called that in all of ''Series/DoctorWho''.

* TrollingCreator: The CliffHanger between Zagreus' first appearance and the subsequent episode lasted ''a year and a half''. Close to the end of that release gap, in the audio "Omega", Zagreus is prominently listed in the credits. [[spoiler: It's an in-story actor playing Zagreus on a Gallifrey-themed cruise ship. He has one line.]]

* [[spoiler: HeroicSuicide]]: [[spoiler: Tries to commit HeroicSuicide fairly early on in "Dark Eyes". His future self, however, has already taken measures to prevent it. The third attempt sticks.]]

* BoxedCrook: In "Eyes of the Master" the {{McQueen}} Master claims the Time Lords resurrected him to help them against the Daleks.

* FoeYay: The MacQueen!Master tries this with the Eighth Doctor, while at the same time noting that he couldn't stand the Seventh.

* GodzillaThreshold: The Time Lords are planning to work with them due to the Daleks. Despite a possible future where the Eminence are the only life in the Universe. However the Doctor is willing to work with the Dalek Time Controller to stop them.
* EnemyMine: The Time Lords hope to work with them to prevent the Daleks ending up as the dominant life form of the Universe.

* SharpDressedMan: The [[spoiler: Alex Macqueen]] incarnation combines a simple, classic suit with a velvet jacket, and prides himself on his fashion sense.

* EnemyMine: In [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDASDarkEyes2E1TheTraitor The Traitor]] the Doctor helps him against [[spoiler:the Eminence]].

* PutOnABus: She voluntarily leaves the Doctor and returns home after an incident that makes her believe she can't trust him anymore. [[spoiler:Her aunt Pat, whom she first met in 1974, was killed on their second visit to her and replaced by the [[ItMakesSenseInContext shape-shifting alien]] who had been Pat's husband. The Doctor knew this and opted not to tell Lucie, against his better judgment, and she eventually found out. This broke her trust in him, until she ran into him again on a moonbase on Deimos, where she had been abandoned by the Monk with whom she'd been traveling. She then spends Christmas with him, Susan, and Susan's son Alex, though rather than resume traveling with him she opts to explore 22nd-century Earth with Alex. He's somewhat amusingly alarmed by that, telling Alex to look after her in one breath, and warning him not to let her teach him any bad habits in the next. She eventually forgives him for the aunt Pat things... soon before she dies.]]

A very nasty human who acquired a Type-70 TARDIS, figured out how to fly it, and decided to sell out his newfound RealityWarper abilities to all the dirty old men of the universe. Appears disguised as various {{Historical Domain Character}}s, starting with Dr. Robert Knox.

* BodyHorror: He spends [[spoiler: ten years]] as Morbius' bound slave, with Morbius [[spoiler: continuously harvesting cells from him]]. [[spoiler: That timeline gets reset, though]].

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Becomes a willing "traitor" to the Daleks when the Dalek Empire shows up to colonise the planet she's on, just so she can continue to do her job as a doctor.

* BrainwashedandCrazy: Seemingly falls victim to it every second story, may actually have toppled Sarah Jane and Leela as the most brainwashed companion.

** From "Real Time" up until "The Wrong Doctors", Six is seen wearing a blue outfit that, while very similar in design taste to his normal outfit, is a series of tasteful and non-clashing blue hues. Really, it's quite nice. (Started out as a case of LimitedAnimation, since "Real Time" was also released as a semi-animated webcast. None of the artists involved felt like drawing Six' coat, so the blue hues were created as a compromise. The audio-only edition has a short scene to explain it: Six thought Evelyn wanted to see [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E6RevelationOfTheDaleks his "mourning" coat]]. She was curious about his morning coat.)

* TheCameo: Occasionally, he shows up in Six' episodes to fix things after Six messes up badly. Two of those appearances are completely unannounced and uncredited.

* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Can't resist making a snide remark about Six' taste in clothes when they meet for the first time.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Interestingly averted: due to Six' straightforward attitude and Eight's kindness, he gets along noticably better with Six and Eight than he ever did with Two, Three, Four and Seven in the TV series.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: After a while, she starts just disappearing in the middle of Six' lectures and wandering off to the nearest bar (exactly like Peri before her).

* INeedAFreakingDrink: After a while, she starts just disappearing in the middle of Six' lectures and wandering off to the nearest bar.

* MoralityChain: She really brings out Six' softer side, and he grows to care tremendously for her. She also calls him out ''hard'' when he puts on a brave face and pretends that everything's fine when it very clearly isn't.

* BookDumb: She failed her driver's test, doesn't know the first thing about history, doesn't speak a word of French, and gets a little bit annoyed at Six' vocabulary.

* FakeMemories: They have the technology to implant any memory into someone, which Charley gladly makes use of [[spoiler: to remove all memories of herself from Six' mind]].

* CrossThrough: His appearance outside of Six' timeline seriously freaks out Eight. To make things more complicated, he's also the main villain in "The Dalek Generation", a novel written by Creator/NicholasBriggs, in which (from his perspective) he meets the Doctor for the first time... and his first Doctor is, via LoopholeAbuse of the story being a BBC Books novel and not a Big Finish audio play, the ''Eleventh'' Doctor whom he meets post Time War (relatively speaking) while working for the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E03VictoryOfTheDaleks New Dalek Paradigm]].

* Acting for Two: Tracey Childs also plays Klein's mother in "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho177DaleksAmongUs Daleks Among Us]]".

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Becomes the very first adversary in all of ''Series/DoctorWho'' -- [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS2E1NewEarth but certainly not the last]] -- to be defeated by the power of Creator/DavidTennant's [[spoiler:hugs]].

* RealityEnsues: Several episodes have her dealing with the realization that she will [[YouCantGoHomeAgain never see]] her family again.
