Companion (Doctor Who)
In the long-running BBC television science fiction programme ''Doctor Who'' and related works, the term "companion" refers to a character who travels with, or shares adventures with, the The Doctor (Doctor Who), Doctor. A companion is generally the series' co-lead character alongside the Doctor for the duration of their tenure, and in most ''Doctor Who'' stories acts as an audience surrogate by providing the lens through which the viewer is introduced to the story, and often, the series itself. The companion character often furthers the story by asking questions and getting into trouble; also by helping, rescuing, or challenging the Doctor. This designation is applied to a character by the show's producers and appears in the BBC's promotional material and off-screen fictional terminology. The Doctor also refers to the show's other leads as their "friends" or "assistants"; the British press have also used the latter term. History In the earliest episodes of ''Doctor Who'', the dr ...

Time Travel In Fiction
Time travel is a common theme in fiction, mainly since the late 19th century, and has been depicted in a variety of media, such as literature, television, and film. The concept of time travel by mechanical means was popularized in H. G. Wells' 1895 story, ''The Time Machine''. In general, time travel stories focus on the consequences of traveling into the past or the future. The premise for these stories often involves changing history, either intentionally or by accident, and the ways by which altering the past changes the future and creates an altered present or future for the time traveler upon their return. In other instances, the premise is that the past cannot be changed or that the future is determined, and the protagonist's actions turn out to be inconsequential or intrinsic to events as they originally unfolded. Some stories focus solely on the paradoxes and alternate timelines that come with time travel, rather than time traveling. They often provide some sort of soci ...
