As well as enhance a tantalizing " what if … " scenario , Miriam Margoyles ' near - fille at becoming a fellow traveller highlight a healthy trouble with the classical geological era .
The mould of Doctor Who time of year 14 is satisfy with democratic histrion and actress to press this Hellenic sci - fi play into the next contemporaries .
This was ## this was the fellow traveller tom baker never had show doc who ’s stereotype problem
miriam margoyles herself tell , " i was n’t the sorting of someone they want …
The whole peak was to have a very ceremonious pretty niggling matter .
This was without interrogative sentence , the argument of adoctor whocompanion in the classical epoch were typically very minute , and margoyles ' view have been echo by many others .
Sarah Jane Smith actress Elisabeth Sladen once reason ( viaThe Mirror ) , " Sarah Jane used to be a chip of a composition board gash - out .
Each workweek it used to be , ' Yes Dr. , no Dr. ' . "
Fourth Doctor fellow traveler actressMary Tamm depart as the original Romanafor like reason .
The overpowering consensus from all call for - and , indeed , those not allow to be ask - is that the BBC stick to a rigorous mould forDoctor Whocompanions , seldom curve from that stereotype .
Miriam Margoyles would have doubtlessly been a very dissimilar molding .
As she distinguish it , " He[Tom Baker]thought I was slimly off the paries , and he want somebody slenderly off the rampart . "
Had Margoyles been vagabond as the Fourth Doctor ’s familiar , therefore , she would have rip up the principle script , add together crotchet , defiance , and boldness to a character that was typically play square and one - dimensional - arguably until Ace fall in the show .
That the BBC refuse Tom Baker ’s personal testimonial for a familiar role player - an player that was an experient mitt and a well - fuck human face - exemplify howDoctor Whomade never-ending mistake with its pal fibre .

This was miriam margoyles as tom baker ’s associate would have piece of work
Miriam Margoyles and Tom Baker would have made a greatest Dr. - and - fellow traveler conjugation , and a very alike active inDoctor Who ’s innovative geological era prove it .
One ofDoctor Who ’s expectant deflection from the unimaginative fellow pilot was Catherine Tate as Donna Noble - a brash , sheer , vocal theatrical role that gainsay both the Doctor himself , and the definition of what aDoctor Whocompanioncould be .
This was while not quite care - for - like , tate and margoyles portion out a likewise kinky phylogenetic relation for amusing carrying into action , and the family relationship between david tennant ’s tenth doctor and donna noble is not a million air mile from what tom baker ’s fourth doctor and miriam margoyles would have look like .
Ten and Donna turn out so pop that Russell T Davies is now revisit their friendly relationship all over again forDoctor Who ’s sixtieth day of remembrance .
The Fourth Doctor and Margoyles could have become a likewise classical duad , but thanks to the BBC ’s stiff eyeshot of how the Doctor ’s supporter should see and roleplay , Doctor Whowas deny a potentially timeless compounding in the TARDIS.Doctor Whohas , mercifully , run on since those more cautious day , but the chronicle of how Tom Baker was refuse Miriam Margoyles as his comrade attend to as a monitor that break the condition quo can often contribute out the good in a telly show .
