COMPANION FOLLOW-UP: DODO CHAPLET

Teenage hearthrob Dodo was much interfered with. Here, she is refusing
the advances of a Monoid. 

When the TARDIS materialises at Wimbledon Commons, young teenager Dod Chaplet went in, mistaking it for a real Police Box. Steven, however, is sure she is a descendent of someone he knew in 1572.

Origin: Contemporary England.
Season: 3
Tenure: 26 February-2 July 1966
Reason for Leaving: Mind-controlled by the malevolent computer WOTAN, Dodo got a bit of a headache and decided to stay with her aunt.
Assessment: Obviously, Dodo was a step back from Vicki, Sara Kingdom and, yes, even Katarina. She was supposed to talk with a Cockney accent, but the BBC doesn't do Cockney. The production team didn't have a single idea what to do with her, and never even bothered to give her a parting scene.
