In the long-running British TV show Doctor Who, the title character, the Doctor, is usually accompanied by one or more "traveling companions." Although most are young, attractive females, almost anybody whose company the Doctor can tolerate seems to be eligible. Inevitably, all companions leave the Doctor's company; perhaps they tire of the Doctor's wild adventures, or perhaps they simply have other things to do. In rare cases, the Doctor has even abandoned a companion or two.
