| '''Liz Shaw''', full name '''Dr. Elizabeth Shaw''', is a fictional character played by [[Caroline John]] in the long-running [[United Kingdom|British]] [[science fiction on television|science fiction television]] series ''[[Doctor Who]]''. A civilian member of [[United Nations Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] ('''U'''nited '''N'''ations '''I'''ntelligence '''T'''askforce), an international organisation that defends the [[Earth]] from [[extraterrestrial life|alien]] threats, she was a [[:Category:Doctor Who companions|companion]] of the [[Third Doctor]] and a regular in the programme in the [[1970]] season.
| |
|
| |
|
| Liz first appeared in ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'', where she was drafted from the [[University of Cambridge]] by [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] as a scientific advisor to UNIT. Skeptical at first of UNIT's ambit to defend against alien invasion, she changed her mind when she encountered the newly-regenerated Third Doctor and became involved in defeating the plans of the Nestene Consciousness and its animated plastic [[Auton]]s.
| | HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! |
|
| |
|
| Liz was an accomplished scientist, an expert on [[meteorite]]s with degrees in several disciplines, including physics and medicine. Her extensive training, however, still paled in comparison to the Doctor's own knowledge of the universe and scientific principles far beyond that of Earth's.

| Liz continued to work with the Doctor and UNIT through encounters with the [[Silurian (Doctor Who)|Silurians]], the so-called [[The Ambassadors of Death|Ambassadors of Death]] and the [[Inferno (Doctor Who)|Inferno]] project. She eventually resigned from UNIT and returned to Cambridge, but there was no "farewell scene" on screen for Liz, her departure simply being announced by the Brigadier at the beginning of ''[[Terror of the Autons]]''. She reportedly told the Brigadier that all the Doctor really needed was someone to pass him his test tubes and tell him how wonderful he was, this feeling probably contributing to her decision to return to her own research. The [[Doctor Who spin-offs|spin-off]] novel ''The Scales of Injustice'' by [[Gary Russell]] explored the events surrounding Liz's resignation from UNIT.
| |
| | |
| Uniquely of all the companions, she is never seen to actually travel in the [[TARDIS]], as her time with the Doctor coincided with his exile to Earth imposed by the [[Time Lord]]s and the removal of his knowledge of time travel. She does, however, travel in the TARDIS in the [[Past Doctor Adventures]] novel ''The Wages of Sin'' by [[David A. McIntee]], which takes place after the Doctor regains his knowledge and freedom.
| |
| | |
| Liz's life after leaving UNIT was not explored in the series. Caroline John appeared as an illusory image of Liz in the 20th Anniversary television movie ''[[The Five Doctors]]'', and as Liz herself in the [[1993]] charity special ''[[Dimensions in Time]]''. John also played Liz Shaw in a series of straight-to-video stories produced by [[Reeltime Pictures]] under the umbrella title of ''P.R.O.B.E.'', where she was working with a paranormal investigation organization not unlike UNIT, called the "Preternatural Research Bureau". John has also appeared in an [[radio drama|audio play]] from [[Big Finish Productions]], ''[[Dust Breeding]]'', together with the [[Seventh Doctor]], but voicing a different character, Madame Salvadori.
| |
| | |
| According to the [[1997]] [[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]] novel ''Eternity Weeps'' by [[Jim Mortimore]], Liz died in [[2003]], the victim of an extraterrestrial [[terraforming]] virus contracted while she was part of a UNIT team investigating an alien artifact on the [[Moon]]. The [[canon (fiction)#Doctor Who|canonicity]] of the novels, like other [[Doctor Who spin-offs|spin-off media]], is uncertain.
