Maggie was an American companion of the Doctor.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Maggie originally worked a fortune-telling booth in an amusement park in America, where the Doctor met her.
Together, they discovered that the engineer behind a new space ride that was being built was the Master, who had designed the machinery such that it would act as a teleporter to bring a large alien workforce to Earth that would build a machine capable of destroying the Earth, but also, unbeknownst to them, their own planet.
Maggie subsequently became the Doctor's companion, continuing to wear her fortune-teller outfit. (PROSE: Winning Designs)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Maggie was designed and written as if actress Meryl Streep were to play the part, a casting suggested as the winning entry of the Doctor Who Casting Competition in DWM 108, submitted by Scott Sauber. Her costume and story were designed by Wanda Sue Morain and Mike Acord as the winning entry of a follow-up contest, the Doctor Who Design Competition, with the text and professional-grade illustrations of Winning Designs being the ultimate result.
Sauber explained his choice of Meryl Streep for the companion in a hypothetical Doctor Who movie both by her being a box-office draw and by her perceived ability to bring a "questioning intelligence" to the part, countering the Brian Blessed Doctor's "devious eccentricity".
