Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Alison was Joe Latham's girlfriend. She once took up a degree in History, but had to drop it to live with Joe.
She met the Ninth Doctor in 2003 when she worked at the pub in the abandoned town of Lannet, Lancashire. The Doctor had just arrived in the TARDIS and, noticing the absence of people in Lannet, came in for a drink. The Shalka had by this time caused a mass exodus of the townsfolk, who did not understand that an alien invasion had taken place but, nevertheless, fled in fear.
Alison was subsequently kidnapped by the Shalka, who modified her body to transmit the Shalka's screams. At the end of the Shalka incident, Alison accepted the Doctor's invitation to become his companion. Joe however showed concern of Alison travelling with the Doctor, fearing for her safety. However, the Doctor noted that the TARDIS was a time machine and he had probably already dropped Alison at her mother's house. But when Joe phoned up Alison's mother and asked if Alison was there, he got a negative answer. (WC: Scream of the Shalka)
At one point, she, the Doctor, and the Master ended up facing off against a vampire entity. (PROSE: The Feast of Stone)
