Who are Evelyn Smythe, Charley Pollard, Erimem, Frobisher and C izz?
Professor Evelyn Smythe is a fifty-something university instructor from present day London, who was created as a companion to the Sixth Doctor to expand Big Finish’s regular cast repetoire. Evelyn, played by Maggie Stables, appeared in the audio play “The Marian Conspiracy” and has gone on to be one of the series’ most popular and regular companions alongside Colin Baker, Lalla Ward (“The Apocalypse Element”), Nicholas Courtney (“The Spectre of Lanyon Moor”) and even Sylvester McCoy (“Project: Lazarus”). Evelyn has actually appeared in print as well, in Gary Russell’s BBC Books novel “Instruments of Darkness” where we discover that, following her time with the Doctor, she was left in the wrong era, and he eventually went back to pick her up while traveling with Melanie — meaning the two at some point were both the Doctor’s companions at the same time.
