Samantha Briggs: Difference between revisions

*Samantha was originally intended to become the Doctor's full-time companion at the end of ''[[The Faceless Ones]]'' but Pauline Collins turned down the offer to become a series regular. In her absence, [[Victoria Waterfield]] from the following story ''[[The Evil of the Daleks]]'' was chosen to be the next companion. (The production crew had also considered [[Mollie Dawson]] as a companion.)  Pauline Collins would return to ''[[Doctor Who]]'' for ''[[Tooth and Claw]]'', in which she played [[Queen Victoria]].
