A support group was set up for former companions of the Doctor to be able to each have a place to talk to other people who have had the privilege of travelling throughout time and space in the TARDIS.

For a session in 2022, the group was joined by Ian Chesterton, Jo Jones, Tegan Jovanka, Melanie Bush, Ace, Kate Stewart, Graham O'Brien, Yasmin Khan and Dan Lewis as well as having a laptop set up for one or more individuals unable to join directly. Yaz, the most recent addition at the time, had parted company with the Thirteenth Doctor following the Master's Dalek Plan and was introduced to the group by Dan and Graham.
