Changes: Helen Sinclair

Revision as of 17:45, 18 September 2020

Helen Sinclair was a companion of the Eighth Doctor.

Biography

Early life

Helen Sinclair was born in England around 1933. (AUDIO: The Red Lady) She had two brothers; Harry, whom she did not always get along with, and George. As a young woman, her father was cruel and acted as a bully to both her and her mother, which Helen attributed to their gender as her brothers did not receive the same treatment. (AUDIO: Absent Friends)

Both Helen and George thought that their aunt Phyllis's cat was evil as it hissed and scratched a lot, but she later learnt that it was sick and in pain and would allow Helen to stroke it if she was gentle. She found the cat's purring rewarding. (AUDIO: World of Damnation)

Her grandmother suffered from a terminal disease, which Helen took some time to come to terms with. After she died, Helen found that she could only recall when her grandmother first told the family that she was sick and not when she told them that it was terminal. (AUDIO: Ship in a Bottle)

Helen's only time spent outside of Great Britain was a camping holiday to Jersey. (AUDIO: The Galileo Trap) She also went on frequent holidays to the Lake District with her family following the Second World War. (AUDIO: Absent Friends)

Career

Helen worked as a specialist in translation in the National Museum's Department of Linguistics (AUDIO: Ship in a Bottle) and became assistant to Professor Walter Pritchett, with whom she shared a fond relationship. (AUDIO: The Red Lady) She commuted by bus from her home in Tooting and was often late. (AUDIO: The Galileo Trap)

Despite being more qualified and having worked at the museum four years longer, Helen was passed over for a promotion in 1963 by Professor Garland, who promoted Timothy instead. She correctly determined that the appointment was due to her gender, which was confirmed by Professor Garland. Whilst Professor Pritchett expressed his sympathies, he was happy not to have lost his assistant. (AUDIO: The Red Lady)

Meeting the Doctor and Liv

Liv and Helen DC1 — Helen with Liv Chenka. (AUDIO: *Doom Coalition 1*)

In 1963, Helen was given some of Dr Francis McCallum's papers to translate and met the Eighth Doctor and Liv Chenka, who broke into her office in search of a tablet that she was working on deciphering. She eventually joined the pair in investigating the Red Lady, in the course of which Professor Pritchett died. Once it was resolved, Helen was fired by Professor Garland for the unexplained disappearance of McCallum's collection and joined the Doctor and Liv in the TARDIS, suspecting that the police would be on her doorstep the following day. (AUDIO: The Red Lady)

The trio travelled to Florence in 1639 due to Helen's tablet being a message for the Doctor from Galileo Galilei. She was excited by her newfound ability to read Latin. She and Liv joined Cavalli 2 in investigating Cleaver and his spaceship, later helping the Doctor defeat both Cleaver and Fortuna. Galileo encouraged Helen to continue travelling with the Doctor, which she chose to do when given the offer to return home instead of going after the Eleven. (AUDIO: The Galileo Trap)

On Phaiton, Helen and Liv were put to work cooking and cleaning by the Orbs. They managed to slip away but were caught by the Eleven, who was convinced by the Eight to keep them alive whilst the Doctor was at large. Helen was to be dissected by an Orb once the Doctor was captured, but she was saved by Paine and escaped with Liv to the TARDIS, which dematerialised and rescued the Doctor. With the Eleven defeated, the Doctor told Helen and Liv that they needed a holiday. (AUDIO: The Satanic Mill)

Freeing the Sonomancer

Helen Doom Coalition 2 — Helen during her adventures after Phaiton. (AUDIO: *Doom Coalition 2*)

To recuperate, the Doctor took Helen and Liv to 2017 Stegmoor where Helen thought about contacting the people in her life, which the Doctor then told her not to do. She cared for the Doctor after he became unconscious and, once he awoke, told him about the spaceship on the beach. Once Ishtek and Tellat were dead, the crew departed, with the Doctor wanting to find out what happened to the Voord homeworld. (AUDIO: Beachhead)

Landing in a damaged TARDIS, Helen was manipulated by Caleera, who used their similar backgrounds and experiences with being suppressed to trick her into convincing the Doctor to "free" her from the neural amplifier. Once she was free, she told Helen that she was so much more than her. The Doctor, Helen and Liv left in the Doctor's crashing TARDIS. (AUDIO: Scenes From Her Life)

Following Caleera's trajectory, the TARDIS landed in 1906 San Francisco where the Doctor left Helen and Liv to get his hair cut. They went after him and, after witnessing Pepé Gonzalez use the Gift, Helen was taken hostage by Aldo Deluca, escaping when the earthquake hit. Once the Gift was dealt with, Helen tended to Liv's injuries. (AUDIO: The Gift)

On Syra, the Doctor made Helen their ambassador to the Syrans. After meeting Madam Yeva, she was locked in a mining capsule with River Song by Ruslan and used the sonic screwdriver to escape, joining River in helping the Doctor and communicating with Galactic Heritage to save the natives. She kept what she knew of River secret from the Doctor for the sake of causality and felt some responsibility for the planet's destruction due to her role in rescuing Caleera. (AUDIO: The Sonomancer)

Defeating the Doom Coalition

Instead of arriving on Gallifrey, the TARDIS materialised in 1998 Calcot where Helen managed to convince Liv to cover for her as she took the train to London to find out what happened to her family. She met George and, pretending to be her own daughter named "Ruth", she learnt from him of the pain that she caused her family. She intended to return to apologise after speaking ill of their father, but she received a phone call from him due to a piece of the Doomsday Chronometer, meaning he had died after their meeting. (AUDIO: Absent Friends)

Searching for other pieces of the Chronometer, Helen went to 2016 Rome to visit the Science Museum and unknowingly bumped into the Eight outside. (AUDIO: The Eighth Piece) River used her vortex manipulator to take Helen across history, solving a puzzle which led them to a piece of the Chronometer hidden beneath the Vatican in the 1960s, before returning her to 2016 (AUDIO: The Doomsday Chronometer) where she met the Clocksmith, posing as a professor. (AUDIO: The Eighth Piece)

Liv, Helen, River — Helen with Liv and River. (AUDIO: *The Crucible of Souls*)

Helen apparently completed the Chronometer and was held hostage by the Clocksmith, forcing River to hand over the final spring. As the Chronometer began to tick, Helen and Liv fled outside and witnessed the museum collapse, leading them to believe that the Doctor had died. Upon entering the TARDIS, they met the regenerated Nine and assumed that he was the Doctor. (AUDIO: The Doomsday Chronometer)

Whilst the Nine left Liv behind in the Panopticon Archive after stealing information on the Crucible of Souls and the regen gun, Helen was taken to the Crucible and used as a hostage once she realised who he was. Cardinal Padrac later took Liv and Helen prisoner and ejected them and the Doctor into non-time in an emergency escape shuttle. (AUDIO: The Crucible of Souls)

The group tried to head back to the Crucible in an attempt to stop Padrac, but the capsule proved to be locked on a fixed course. After seeing some pressure suits she thought of jumping out and swimming in the other direction. She tried to calm Liv down after she became upset. They jumped out of the pod and rode the shockwave back into normal time. (AUDIO: Ship in a Bottle)

Helen Ship in a Bottle — Helen on the scape capsule. (AUDIO: *Ship in a Bottle*)

Liv and Helen appeared back in the normal universe with only five minutes of oxygen. They were rescued by a Time Ship which traversed the vortex and started to disintegrate. After Liv managed to get them to Earth she wanted to get to a spaceport to get away from an Earth which was disintegrating. River later told Helen to tell Liv who she was. River managed to get her to Gallifrey where she got to the TARDIS and left with Veklin to find the Doctor. (AUDIO: Songs of Love)

Helen and Liv went exploring New York. When they went to the main museum they saw a picture of the TARDIS and a Weeping Angel which had been bequeathed by them. At the museum they started to hear about the Weeping Angels. The Monk projected an angel which then became an angel in front of them. However, they were saved by Veklin. They joined up with the Doctor again, but the Eleven trapped them on top of a skyscraper. The Monk was sent back in time and Ollistra was pushed off the building, causing a regeneration, but the Doctor, Liv and Helen managed to get away to the TARDIS and headed back for Gallifrey to finally stop Padrac before his plans succeeded. (AUDIO: The Side of the Angels)

The group headed to Gallifrey. Helen wanted to join the Doctor in the Panopticon but he wouldn't let her, instead she was tasked in evacuating the Time Lords. When the Eleven escaped from his restraints he stole a Battle TARDIS and kidnapped her. Caleera contacted her via the Matrix, granting Helen the telekinetic powers of the Sonomancer. She was able to stop the blast from the Eleven's staser with her mind. Caleera got her to crash the TARDIS into the Resonance Engine to defeat the Doom Coalition. The Battle TARDIS was not destroyed in the blast, so the Doctor and Liv went searching for it. (AUDIO: Stop the Clock)

Reunion with the Doctor and Liv

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from Seizure, Deeptime Frontier, Companion Piece, L.E.G.E.N.D., The Odds Against, Whisper, Planet of Dust & Day of the Master needs to be added

The Battle TARDIS crash landed on Rykerzon, and Helen and the Eleven were taken as prisoners. During that time, Helen cared for the Eleven and tried to help him control his condition and suppress the voices of his other incarnations. She would sing to soothe him, and he pretended to reciprocate, and called her his saviour. When the Eighth Doctor and Liv arrived looking for Helen, she was thrilled to see them again, despite the Doctor being sceptical of her. Eventually, the Eleven joined with the Kandyman to take over Colony 23, a plan which was then stopped by the Doctor, Liv and Helen. Helen was then welcomed back on board the TARDIS. (AUDIO: World of Damnation, Sweet Salvation)

After re-joining the TARDIS, Helen continued travelling with the Doctor and Liv. During this time, they took a trip to Liv's home world, Kaldor. (AUDIO: Escape from Kaldor)

After the Doctor was dragged into hell in an unfavourable trip to Salzburg, Helen spent decades trying to pilot the TARDIS. After bringing a notable saint to Salzburg to save the day, she was on the brink of death, having aged considerably in the time she spent trying to figure out how to control the TARDIS. Liv remembered the Wish Granter's cryptic quote and realised that she could use his powers to restore Helen to her old self. (AUDIO: Better Watch Out, Fairytale of Salzburg)

Stranded in 2020

Helen and the Doctor Stranded — Helen with the Doctor in 2020. (AUDIO: *Stranded 1*)

After escaping the collapsing console room, Helen, Liv and the Doctor moved into 107 Baker Street. Helen was told by the Curator, whom she met twice before following him to the Under Gallery, that she and Liv had to make sure to look after the Doctor. (AUDIO: Lost Property) She gave Robin Bright-Thompson some tuition in history and decided to become a tutor.

Helen witnessed a robber leaving Sanjit's convenience store and found that Liv had been shot before giving chase. She apologised to DCI Treadwell for the Doctor's behaviour and involvement in the case and, after the man was caught, she encouraged the Doctor not to give up on the TARDIS nor on living his life. (AUDIO: Wild Animals)

Helen helped the Doctor investigate the extraterrestrial surveillance of the house and Mr Bird after they became suspicious of him. (AUDIO: Must-See TV)

After the Doctor won You Either Know It or You Don't, Helen and Liv convinced him to invest the £80,000 on the house rather than towards his efforts to restore the TARDIS. She took Robin shopping and attempted to discourage his interest in Divine Intervention, whose representative, Rafaella Hicks, told her that she was unsuited for. She was present when the TARDIS was partially-restored and the Doctor told her that they would soon take it for a test drive. (AUDIO: Divine Intervention)

Personality

Helen was intelligent, sceptical and willing to admit when she was wrong. (AUDIO: The Red Lady) She was compassionate, which could sometimes allow her to be manipulated, (AUDIO: The Gift, World of Damnation) and trusting, to the extent that she did not tell Liv or the Doctor about River Song's identity. (AUDIO: The Sonomancer, Songs of Love) She was sensible, except when running from the law. (AUDIO: World of Damnation)

She felt that society had never allowed her to be the best that she could be and was pleased that her strengths were celebrated rather than feared whilst travelling with the Doctor. (AUDIO: Scenes From Her Life) She wanted to be successful to spite her father. (AUDIO: Absent Friends) She sometimes felt redundant next to the Doctor and Liv, but Liv assured her that she had more than proved herself. (AUDIO: Ship in a Bottle)

Above all else, Helen admired lexicology and linguistics. (AUDIO: L.E.G.E.N.D.)

Behind the scenes

In the behind the scenes extras to Doom Coalition 1, producer David Richardson cites Doctor Who's first producer Verity Lambert, (BFX Doom Coalition 1) who at the time was BBC's youngest ever and first female producer,^[1] as a source of inspiration for the character of Helen Sinclair. This is acknowledged through Helen's coming from 1963, the same year that Doctor Who first aired. (BFX Doom Coalition 1)

As a young woman, [[Helen Sinclair's father|Helen's father]] was cruel, unkind and bullied her. He treated [[Helen Sinclair's mother|her mother]] equally poorly. George was not exposed to the same poor treatment, and Helen attributed the abuse to her gender. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Absent Friends (audio story)|Absent Friends]]'')

-When Helen was young, her Aunt [[Phyllis (World of Damnation)|Phyllis]] had a [[pet]] [[cat]] that would hiss and scratch at anyone who came near it. Helen and George thought [[Phyllis' cat|the cat]] was evil, but later learned it was [[Disease|sick]] and in pain. If she gentle with it, the cat would allow Helen to stroke it. Helen found the cat's purring rewarding. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[World of Damnation (audio story)|World of Damnation]]'')

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Absent Friends (audio story)|Absent Friends]]'')
-Helen was a language scholar for the [[National Museum]] during the [[1960s]]. Her career was stymied by the misogynistic attitudes of the time and the "old boys" network working against her although she was determined to make a name for herself. Despite being more than qualified for a promotion, she was denied the position by her superior who felt she wouldn't be able to commit fully due to his belief that women were "too emotional." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Red Lady (audio story)|The Red Lady]]'')

-Helen had never been abroad until she travelled with the [[Eighth Doctor]] and she was quite excited, and carried a [[Brownie Camera|box brownie]] [[camera]] with her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Galileo Trap (audio story)|The Galileo Trap]]'')

+[[File:Liv and Helen DC1.jpg|thumb|left|Helen with [[Liv Chenka]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Doom Coalition 1]]'')]]
-In [[1963]], while working as an assistant to [[Walter Pritchard|Professor Walter Pritchard]], she met the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Liv Chenka]], who were in search of a [[temporal anomaly]] related to [[the Eleven]]. Joining them whilst they investigated a collection of artefacts featuring [[Caleera|the Red Lady]], she became involved in a mystery involving extraterrestrial elements. Not having seen any of the artefacts featuring the entity, Helen was unaffected by her influence, and was able to help prevent the Doctor and Liv from succumbing to her effects. After they defeated the Red Lady and the artefacts were "disposed of," Helen was dismissed from her position and threatened with being reported to the police, her boss being suspicious that she was behind their theft. Impressed by her help, the Doctor offered her the chance to join him in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], which she accepted. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Red Lady (audio story)|The Red Lady]]'')
+In 1963, Helen was given some of [[Francis McCallum|Dr Francis McCallum]]'s papers to translate and met the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Liv Chenka]], who broke into her office in search of a [[tablet]] that she was working on deciphering.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Red Lady (audio story)|The Red Lady]]'')
-Arriving in [[Florence]] in [[1639]], she was immediately fascinated by the opportunity to visit history, so much so that she wished she had brought her camera so she could take pictures of it. She joined [[Cavalli]] in investigating [[Cleaver (The Galileo Trap)|Cleaver]] and saw her first spaceship, helping the Doctor and [[Galileo Galilei|Galileo]] to defeat him and [[Fortuna (The Galileo Trap)|Fortuna]], his fellow [[Volkbrood]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Galileo Trap (audio story)|The Galileo Trap]]'')

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Galileo Trap (audio story)|The Galileo Trap]]'')
-She was used in the Eleven's game against the Doctor, being captured by an [[Orb]] aboard the Eleven's [[stellar manipulator]] and prepared for dissection. However, [[Paine]] arrived and stopped it, allowing her and Liv to flee to the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Satanic Mill (audio story)|The Satanic Mill]]'')
+On [[Phaiton]], Helen and Liv were put to work cooking and cleaning by the [[Orb (The Satanic Mill)|Orbs]]. They managed to slip away but were caught by the Eleven, who was convinced by [[the Eight]] to keep them alive whilst the Doctor was at large. Helen was to be [[dissection|dissected]] by an Orb once the Doctor was captured, but she was saved by [[Paine]] and escaped with Liv to the TARDIS, which dematerialised and rescued the Doctor.

+[[File:Helen Doom Coalition 2.jpg|thumb|right|Helen during her adventures after [[Phaiton]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Doom Coalition 2]]'')]]
-After this ordeal, the Doctor took her and Liv to [[Stegmoor]] to recuperate. She wanted to go somewhere a bit more alien. She helped to move the Doctor when he fell unconscious. She told the Doctor about the [[Voord spaceship]] on the beach. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Beachhead (audio story)|Beachhead]]'') She couldn't understand the dimensions of the antique [[TARDIS (Scenes From Her Life)|TARDIS]]. [[Caleera]] used her powers to empathise with her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Scenes From Her Life (audio story)|Scenes From Her Life]]'')

-When they landed in [[San Francisco]] in [[1906]], Liv trusted her to guide her around the city as it was closer to her time than Liv's. She was taken by [[Aldo Deluca]] because he wanted to know about the Gift. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Gift (audio story)|The Gift]]'')

 === Defeating the Doom Coalition ===
-When she realised they had landed in [[Calcot]] in [[1998]], she decided to take a train back to [[London]] to discover what had happened to her friends and family. In London, she went to her old house and found out that it had been converted into flats. She later went to see her brother [[George Sinclair]]. George then told her about how their mother, father and brother had died, as well as how the suspicions of her role in the "theft" had tainted the family reputation so significantly that George's fiancé had left him. After asking the Doctor to take her back, he told her this was impossible. She was now part of events and could not go back and change her own timeline.

-Before entering the museum, she met River again, who told her to come with her on a scavenger hunt to help her find the Eighth Piece. She collected many paintings and discovered where the Eighth piece was and took it back to Rome. She was then frozen in time for the Clocksmith's enjoyment before the Doctor arrived.

She was appalled at the Nine murdering the Time Lords at the [[Crucible of Souls]]. [[Padrac]] then revealed he was working with the Eleven, and trapped her, Liv and the Doctor in a [[Scape capsule (Ship in a Bottle)|scape capsule]] careering into the nontime of a murdered future by Padrac.

After Liv managed to get them to Earth she wanted to get to a spaceport to get away from an Earth which was disintegrating. River later told Helen to tell Liv who she was. River managed to get her to Gallifrey where she got to the TARDIS and left with [[Veklin]] to find the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Songs of Love (audio story)|Songs of Love]]'')

 After the Doctor was dragged into hell in an unfavourable trip to Salzburg, Helen spent decades trying to pilot the TARDIS. After bringing a notable saint to Salzburg to save the day, she was on the brink of death, having aged considerably in the time she spent trying to figure out how to control the TARDIS. Liv remembered the Wish Granter's cryptic quote and realised that she could use his powers to restore Helen to her old self.

+After escaping the collapsing [[console room]], Helen, Liv and the Doctor moved into [[107 Baker Street]]. Helen was told by [[the Curator]], whom she met twice before following him to the [[Under Gallery]], that she and Liv had to make sure to look after the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lost Property (audio story)|Lost Property]]'') She gave [[Robin Bright-Thompson]] some tuition in [[history]] and decided to become a tutor.
+Helen witnessed [[robber (Wild Animals)|a robber]] leaving [[Sanjit (Wild Animals)|Sanjit]]'s [[convenience store]] and found that Liv had been shot before giving chase. She apologised to [[Treadwell|DCI Treadwell]] for the Doctor's behaviour and involvement in the case and, after the man was caught, she encouraged the Doctor not to give up on the TARDIS nor on living his life.

+After the Doctor won ''[[You Either Know It or You Don't]]'', Helen and Liv convinced him to invest the £80,000 on the house rather than towards his efforts to restore the TARDIS. She took Robin shopping and attempted to discourage his interest in [[Divine Intervention]], whose representative, [[Rafaella Hicks]], told her that she was unsuited for. She was present when the TARDIS was partially-restored and the Doctor told her that they would soon take it for a test drive.
