Though it’s science fiction’s leading men that grab all of the glory, they’d be nothing without the friends behind the fame – the loyal companions that have their backs no matter what. While sidekicks play an important role in the genre, they often get overlooked, but you can always rely on SciFiNow to give credit where credit it due, so join us now as we deliver our ode to the ‘little guy’…
A former shop assistant, Rose gave up her life of price checks and till rolls to become a companion to the ninth and tenth incarnations of the Doctor. Having to witness everything from Dalek invasion to the destruction of the Earth itself, it’s a wonder Ms Tyler stuck around for as long as she did, let alone sacrifice herself to save the Doctor. Presumed dead after the lethal paring of Daleks and Cybermen invaded the Earth, the ‘bad wolf’ now resides on a parallel plain where she has been reunited with her friends and deceased father. It’s also revealed that she is working with that world’s version of the Touchwood Institute so don’t be surprised if she turns up alongside Captain Jack Harkness like Martha Jones did. That Barryman brings all the girls to the yard.
