Virgin Publishing’s range of novels, and some of the BBC Books volumes that followed them, would perhaps have us call her Patience, a native Gallifreyan woman who was married first to the founding Time Lord (and later Doctor Who villain) Omega, then to a mysterious figure known as “The Other” who would go on to be reincarnated as the man (or men) we know as the Doctor. Who, you ask? When Doctor Who began on television in 1963, the character traveled through time and space in his TARDIS with young Susan, who called him “Grandfather.” We never learn what happened to her parents, but the natural assumption is that one of them was the Doctor’s offspring - which would mean there was a woman who had been dear to him.

For the longest time, sex, love and marriage in Doctor Who were alien concepts for the show’s Time Lord protagonist.
