Tamsin Drew was a companion of the Eighth Doctor.

Meeting the Doctor
Tamsin came from Dulwich and was an actress. Before she met the Doctor, her career was going badly due to her age. She answered an advertisement which read:

Traveller in Time and Space seeks male or female companion with good sense of humour for adventures in the Fourth and Fifth Dimensions No Experience Necessary. No time wasters, no space wasters, please.

She answered under the alias of Juliet Walsh, a strong, career-driven woman, and found herself auditioning, with Theo Lawson, Asha Qureshi and Hugh Bainbridge for the role of the Doctor's new companion. 'Juliet' was the first of the possible companions to be eliminated and Tamsin went home upset.

She had taken the jacket of a scientist who controlled many robots and was attacked by one. The Doctor stepped and saved her.

Asha, Theo and Hugh were all found to have malicious reasons for wanting to join the Doctor. After they were sorted out, 'Juliet' revealed herself to the Doctor as Tamsin Drew and he decided to take her with him. (BFA: Situation Vacant)

Adventures and the Monk
The Doctor and Tamsin's first adventure was on the devastated world of Corinth Minor. They met war criminal Morella Wendigo. (BFA: Nevermore) After sorting matters there, they arrived at Kells Abbey in 1006. The Doctor was surprised to meet an old foe, the Monk, who was trying to steal the Book of Kells. (BFA: The Book of Kells)

Leaving the Doctor
The Doctor and Tamsin next landed on Deimos, a moon of Mars, where they became caught up in an Ice Warrior invasion. Tamsin was unhappy with the Doctor's treatment of a man called Grenville, whom he allowed to die. Matters were complicated when the Doctor discovered his former companion, Lucie Miller, was trapped on Deimos' moonbase, which he was about to destroy. (BFA: Deimos) Tamsin was angered by the Doctor's refusal to sacrifice Lucie's life to save the thousands of humans on Mars. Tamsin left the Doctor's company and travelled with the Monk, who had convinced Tamsin that the Doctor was evil. (BFA: The Resurrection of Mars)

Tamsin helped the Monk collect human artefacts on Earth while the planet was being invaded by the Daleks. (BFA: Lucie Miller) After Tamsin learned of the Monk's involvement in the invasion, she helped the Doctor try to stop the Daleks. Shortly after, the Daleks killed her. (BFA: To the Death)
