Let's face it: the [[DWU]] is full of crazy names.  We try to give you a little note at the top of the page if you're within a letter of another character, but sometimes we haven't discovered the similarity yet. If you're at all in doubt about spelling, it's probably a good idea to actually go to the page and check it out!

Jamie McCrimmon was a Highland Scot from the mid-18th century who travelled with the Second Doctor, Polly Wright, Ben Jackson, Victoria Waterfield and Zoe Heriot, as well as the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown.

Jamie travelled in the TARDIS for most of the Doctor's second incarnation. His journeys through time and space began not long after the Doctor's first regeneration, and continued until the Time Lords sentenced the Doctor to exile on Earth. Jamie was returned to 18th century Scotland by the Time Lords, with the memory of all but his first adventure with the Doctor erased. Whether the Time Lords' memory removal actually held was not well understood. It was posited that he travelled alone with the Second Doctor, and that he did so when he was clearly middle-aged — neither of which happened prior to his Time Lord-enforced return to Scotland.

We track thousands of characters on this wiki, from the major to those that are only implied to exist through dialogue. To find them, it's awfully useful to understand something about our Tardis:categories: we don't call 'em characters, but individuals. To start delving into our database about characters, just type {{tt|category:individuals into the search bar. (Or you could just click that link — but that's kinda cheatin'!)

Individuals by species organises characters by species. So if you're looking for a particular Sontaran or a specific Aridian, this is where to come. (Watch out for those individual Farrashians, though: they're just mean!)

Individuals by location gives you a sense of characters based on where they encountered the Doctor or other major characters. For instance, say you wanted to know other people who lived on the Powell Estate with Rose Tyler. All you have to do is go to Powell Estate residents and there ya go!

Mind your spelling

This is Andric, not Adric.

Let's face it: the DWU is full of crazy names. We try to give you a little note at the top of the page if you're within a letter of another character, but sometimes we haven't discovered the similarity yet. If you're at all in doubt about spelling, it's probably a good idea to actually go to the page and check it out!

Looking for companions? Aren't we all, sister! You could go broad and just look at companions of the Doctor. Or, you could narrow things down by looking for the companion of a specific Doctor — like category:Second Doctor companions. (Here's a li'l tip: all Doctor's categories work the same way: number + Doctor + whatever. So, Fifth Doctor companions, Tenth Doctor comic stories and so on. Whatever you want to know about a Doctor, start by entering category:<number> in the search box, and you'll see a lot of options pop up!)
