Doctor Who: Where Are They Now? Gallifreyan: DOCTOR WHO “THE COMPANIONS” A. Dw446_009.jpg (2049×3000) Doctor Who Stuff. - StumbleUpon. The History of the Doctor's Companions [Infographic] If you aren’t too versed in your Doctor Who, it’s entirely possible that you’d misunderstand exactly what it means when fans say, “The Doctor has had a lot of companions.” This isn’t the Firefly definition of “companion” (re: fancy prostitute), it’s the literal definition, a person with whom one travels.
The Doctor is the last of his race, is over 900 years old, and is pretty lonely, so every now and then he picks up a human friend and takes them around time and space. Sometimes they end up choosing to leave the Doctor, sometimes they end up dead, and sometimes they fall in love — and how couldn’t they, the Doctor literally has double the heart — but whatever mystery their fate may be, it’s never a mystery as to whether or not the Doctor will pick up a straggler during his travels and save their lives on a weekly basis.
