Companion support group

The Companion Support Group was an organisation that was set up as a support group to former companions of the Doctor to be able to each have a place to talk to other people who have had the privilege of travelling throughout time and space in the TARDIS.

For a session in 2022, the group was joined by Ian Chesterton, Jo Jones, Tegan Jovanka, Melanie Bush, Ace, Kate Stewart, Graham O'Brien, Yasmin Khan and Dan Lewis as well as having a laptop set up for one or more individuals unable to join directly. Yaz, the most recent addition at the time, had parted company with the Thirteenth Doctor following the Master's Dalek Plan and was introduced to the group by Dan and Graham.

Behind the scenes

 * The name "Companion Support Group" doesn't originate from the script or merchandising material, but rather the name of the video uploaded on the official Doctor Who YouTube channel.
 * In the original script for The Power of the Doctor, the laptop was meant to be for either Jackie Tyler, Martha Jones or Ryan Sinclair.
 * It was unexplained how Jackie would have been able to join, having been trapped in Pete's World in TV: Doomsday and Journey's End.
 * Anneke Wills had been invited to return as Polly Wright to take part in the group, but was unavailable, having said: "I heard it was quite brief so I’m glad I stayed and did my brambles instead.".
