Craig Owens

File:"Best Companion Ever"? EXCLUSIVE DW Insider, Ep 12

Craig Owens was an irregular assistant of the Eleventh Doctor, whom the Doctor met on at least two occasions. On the first, he rented a room in his Aickman Road flat to the temporarily stranded Doctor. As the Doctor waited on Amy Pond to get the TARDIS to land, he and Craig enjoyed a period of relative human normalcy, during which he played on Craig's local football team, helped out at Craig's work, and helped Craig and Sophie begin a romantic relationship. When the Doctor later returned to Craig's doorstep, the Time Lord discovered that his friend had married, and had a child with Sophie. As she was away for that particular encounter, the duo had to babysit the newborn whilst repelling a Cyberman invasion. At the end of the adventure, Craig gave the Doctor his Stetson, a hat the Doctor came to enjoy.

Look! Individuals!

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 categories: we don't call 'em characters, but individuals. To start delving into our database about characters, just type category:individuals into the search bar. (Or you could just click that link — but that's kinda cheatin'!)

You're a Silurian, aren't you, Madame Vastra?

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!)

I know where you came from

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 to hit your search for six!

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!

Need an assistant?

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.

Pleading the Fifth

Here's a li'l tip: all Doctors' categories work the same way: number + Doctor + whatever. So, Fifth Doctor companions, Fifth Doctor comic stories and so on. Try this: enter just the phrase Category:Fifth in the search box on top of this page and see what pops up!

We don't even need a name to have a page about you

When we say we track obscure characters, we mean it! Look at how much stuff we have at individuals with unknown names!

Good boy, K9!

Yes, robots are technology. But they're characters, too! So if you're looking for, in the words of Douglas Adams, "your plastic pal who's fun to be with", go to individual robots!
