60 Years Later, the Oldest Sci-Fi Show's First Hero Is Planning a Comeback

BBC Studios

Doctor Who began airing on November 23, 1963, but it looked completely different. Not only was it in black and white, but the story wasn’t focused on The Doctor. In the very first episode, the main focus of attention was a character who only appeared in the series for a year but left a lasting mark on the entire show — one that is still present 61 years later, even after more than a dozen Doctors and two separate reboots.

Now, that introductory character wants to make a return — sixty years after she left the TARDIS on December 26, 1964. And if it happens, it’s something that would finally make good on a fan theory from the most recent season. Mild spoilers ahead for Doctor Who Season 1 (2024) and Doctor Who Season 2 (1964).
