Coleman then joined as a full-time companion in TV: The Bells of Saint John, once again playing a woman called Clara who was a third incarnation of Clara Oswin Oswald. In TV: The Name of the Doctor, she played abut a half-dozen additional incarnations of Clara, including one who has a brief discussion with the First Doctor (allowing Coleman, via digital editing, to share a scene with the late William Hartnell).
