Mel was still the companion of the Doctor when the TARDIS
made a particularly bad landing when it was dragged off course by the
Rani's experiments causing his Sixth incarnation to regenerate. She
finally left the Doctor when they arrived on Ice World and met up
with Sabalom Glitz once more, deciding to travel with Sabalom rather
than this new incarnation of the Doctor.
Ace (Dorothy) joined the Doctor on Iceworld after she had
helped the Doctor and Mel defeat Kane in his attempt to recover the
'Dragonfire'. Originally from Twentieth Century Perivale, Ace was
caught up in a time storm that landed her on Iceworld where she
earned her way by waiting on tables. She had an understanding of
chemical explosives that was quite impressive. Ace was the most equal
of the Doctor's companions in the original series and rarely acted as as the typical bimbo.
She and the Doctor visited several locations that were influential in
her life. They also traveled to 1963, back to the scrap yard where
Barbara and Ian first met the Doctor, though a few weeks later. Ace
was the last Companion of the Doctor to appear on screen leaving him
temporarily in the New Adventure story set on the planet of Heaven
when she is replaced by Professor Bernice Summerfield, preferred name
Benny. After a spell in the Auxiliary Forces arm of Space Fleet, she
rejoined the Doctor and Benny later on.
Bernice (Benny) Summerfield claims a doctorate in archaeology
enabling her to get on a number of digs throughout human space in the
aftermath of the Human/Dalek wars. She viewed the opportunity of
traveling with the Doctor as a chance to see history as it was made
rather than actually going about digging it up. She finally tired of
the peripatetic lifestyle and now occupies the Chair of Archaeology
at the University of Dellah.
Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej were a pair of
Adjudicators from the 30th Century. Roz had finked on her former
partner when he was caught on the take, not caring that most of the
other Adjudicators were also on the take. Dumped to patrol the
meanest of mean beats in the Earth Empire - Earth's Undercity, Roz
was partnered with Chris as her squire and they were doing their best
to hold civilisation together when they met the Doctor and Benny.
Finding that corruption ran far and deep in Earth's government, they
fled with the Doctor and Bennie - it was that or die. As a daughter
of the penultimate Terran Empress, Roz died when leading an assault
on rebels within the Empire. Chris left to become the head of the
Guild of Adjudicators holding the post in charge from the last
Empress. After this, the Adjudicator's Guild became a quasi religious
order owing allegiance to no particular successor government.
