Ben and Polly are still with the Doctor when he
undergoes his first regeneration after a nearly fatal confrontation
with the Cybermen at the South Pole in the 1980s. They are initially
sceptical whether the regenerated Doctor really is the Doctor. They
part company with the Doctor after the meeting with 'The Faceless
Ones', which took place almost congruently with the events in "The
War Machines'.
Jamie McCrimmon is a young Scots Highlander taken prisoner
after the battle of Culloden. He joins the Doctor as the TARDIS
leaves an era where it is dangerous to be a Highlander.
Victoria Waterfield joined the Doctor and Jamie as a companion
after her father was killed by the Daleks in 'The Evil of the Daleks'.
The Daleks in an attempt to improve their time technology have
kidnapped Professor Waterfield and his daughter, bringing them
forward to the 1960s where he can work under their supervision.
Professor Waterfield died when he tried to betray them after stealing
the Doctor's TARDIS. She leaves the Doctor and Jamie after the events
of 'The Web of Fear', having had more than enough of the peripatetic
lifestyle.
Zoë was a member of the crew of 'The Wheel in Space' which it
turned out was under attack by the Cybermen.. When it was destroyed
by a meteorite storm, Zoe is brought to safety by the Doctor. Both
she and Jamie are forced to leave the Doctor when he is taken
prisoner by the Time Lords when he is forced to ask for their help in
ending 'The War Games'.
