Why Doctor Who Companions Are Almost Always Present-Day Humans

The companions are supposed to be relatable for Doctor Who viewers

Doctor Whohas a meter - observe blueprintthat has largely been adhered to throughout its 60 + year history . Although it ’s not always the case , the Doctor tend to travel with a exclusive comrade , and they ’re more often than not human and from a period of Earth ’s account that match the era when the episode was written . For example , Billie Piper ’s Rose Tyler was from London in 2005 , because that ’s where and when her debut was set and broadcast . There ’s a very logical account for this companion formula .

While several of Doctor Who ’s best companions travel in the TARDIS for several episode , others only need a single adventure to win over audiences .

In short , Doctor Who ’s companion are fundamentally the eye of the audience . Those watching the show perceive the adventures in the same way as the companions do . The Doctor is an expert on all thing space and fourth dimension , and present - Clarence Shepard Day Jr. humans are often clueless on those subjects . So , when the Time Lord churn out a timey - wimey account , it ask to make about as much sense to the companion as it does those watching - which often is n’t very much . Of of course , Doctor Whohas strayed from this framework , but it sense like a special consequence when it does .
