Has the Doctor ever had a companion from a different time?

RoJoHen

Awesome
Admiral
The nuWho Doctor has always had companions from the present day: Rose, Martha, Donna, etc. Has there ever been a long-term companion from a different time period?
 
Earlier Doctors had companions from centuries in the past to centuries in the future and from totally different worlds and dimensions. Some weren't even Human and one incarnation did travel with a Time Lady for a few years...
 
Jamie and Leela spring to mind. There are probably others (several weren't from Earth for example), but those are two I can think of right now who weren't from present (at the time aired) Earth:)
 
Classic who has had quite a few from different times:-
Romana is a Time Lady from Gallifrey
Leela is a savage from a colony in the future.
Steven is a space fighter pilot from the future.
Victoria is a damsel in distress from Victorian England
Zoe is a mathmatical genius from the future.
Vicki is some woman from the future.
Jamie is a highlander from the past.
Nyssa is an alien woman from Traken.
 
Katarina was a survivor of the battle of Troy
Susan was from Galifrey like the Doctor
K-9 was from the future
 
Companions not from (then)-contemporary Earth:

Susan
Vicki
Steven
Katarina
Sara
Jamie
Victoria
Zoe
Leela
K9
Romana
Adric
Nyssa
Turlough
 
We could count Mel as being for another planet because her scream was out of this world. Thank you... I'll be here all night :lol:
 
Eh, I don't count Jack all that much. He wasn't around long enough.

He was around long enough to have adventures with two Doctors. What more do ya want?

So was Sabalom Glitz, and while technically he was a companion, in general he isn't really regarded as such by the majority..
He should be! One of the best guest characters of the 1980s.
Kamelion was certainly, not human
Though he was sort of from Earth. The Doctor picked him up in England, and the Master found him on Earth's prehistory, apparently after he was trapped there in Time-Flight.

Well, each season is 13 episodes long. Captain Jack has appeared in 11 episodes of the mother series, which makes him a full companion, and got his own spin-off series. So yeah, he was around long enough.
 
True enough..

Mind you, some ppl don't regard the Brig as a full fleged companion, and he's been in multiple seasons.
