Charlotte Elspeth Pollard, companion to the Eighth Doctor from "Doctor Who", is a charming young lady who, according to history, should be dead.  I'll get to that in a moment.

Charley was born to well-to-do parents, and had three siblings, including her sister Cecilia (or "Sissy").  The family had servants and workers looking after them and their home.  On occasion, Charley would play in the gardens.

Eventually, Charley struck up a deep frendship with a young man, and agrees to meet him in Singapore for the 1931 New Year's celebrations.  How she intends to get there, however, is another matter.  She decides to sneak onboard the Royal Airship R-101, which is due to depart on its maiden voyage.  Tricking a young male steward before he can join the crew, Charley assumes the guies of the young boy and makes her way onboard the airship.

Her ploy is soon seen through, and she makes a run for it.  She joins forces with the Doctor (as portrayed by Paul McGann) who has arrived onboard the R-101, and together they thwart the plans of evil humans, and later evil aliens.  In the process, the airship is doomed to be destroyed over France, killing everyone aboard.  However, the Doctor, feeling some connection with Charley, saves the young woman's life and invites her to join him in his travels aboard his time and space machine, the TARDIS.  Charley delightedly accepts.

And so begins a series of adventures which eventually culminates in a shocking revelation about Charley's connection to the Web of Time, and the Doctor's own confrontation with evil...



Storm Warning
After a dangerous encounter in the space/time vortex, the Doctor finds himself on Earth, October 1930. Or rather above it, aboard the British airship R101 on it's maiden voyage over France. Also on board is a young stowaway, Charlotte 'Charley' Pollard, seeking adventure and excitement away from her stifling family atmosphere. What Charley doesn't know but the Doctor does is that the flight is destined to end in tragedy, although no-one really knows why. Not even the Doctor, although maybe the passenger in Cabin 43 can help...



Sword of Orion
When the Doctor sets out to educate Charley on the darker side of her race's future, he does not anticipate being embroiled in the protracted Orion War. The front line may be light years away, but the human race's struggle for victory has led to desperate measures.  Trapped aboard a mysterious star destroyer in the Garazone System, the Doctor and Charley find themselves cast as scapegoats. But the real danger has yet to awaken...  The Cybermen have received the signal for reactivation.




The Stones of Venice
The Doctor and Charley become embroiled in the decadent court of a tired Duke and his search for his beloved wife. The curse of the long since dead Duchess has finally come to pass and the enchanted city of Venice is sinking beneath the canals...





Minuet in Hell
The twenty-first century has just begun, and the newly-formed state of Malebolgia is seceding from the rest of the United States of America. After his successful involvement with Scotland's devolution, Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart has been invited over to Malebolgia to offer some expertise. However, there's someone held in a lunatic asylum who interests him, someone who believes he travels through space and time in the TARDIS. It is not, however, his old friend the Doctor...



Invaders from Mars
Hallowe'en 1938.  A year after a mysterious meteorite lit up the skies of New York state, Martian invaders laid waste to the nation. At least, according to soon-to-be infamous Orson Welles they did. But what if some of the panicked listeners to the legendary 'War of the Worlds' broadcast weren't just imagining things?  Attempting to deliver Charley to her rendezvous in Singapore 1930, the Doctor overshoots a little, arriving in Manhattan just in time to find a dead private detective. Indulging his gumshoe fantasies, the Doctor is soon embroiled in the hunt for a missing Russian scientist whilst Charley finds herself at the mercy of a very dubious Fifth Columnist.  With some genuinely out of this world 'merchandise' at stake, the TARDIS crew are forced into an alliance with a sultry dame called Glory Bee, Orson Welles himself and a mobster with half a nose known as 'The Phantom'.  And slowly but surely, something is drawing plans against them. Just not very good ones...


The Chimes of Midnight
Still unable to reach 1930, the TARDIS places the Doctor and Charley into an Edwardian household, in 1906. There they meet the servants of Edward Grove who seems to keep his workers in a constant state of bewilderment and terror. When the scullery maid is found murdered, it falls to the famous amateur sleuth known as the Doctor to solve the mysteries. The only trouble is, the household keep shifting into different moments in time.




Living Legend
This adventure was a special promo CD given away with Issue 337 of Doctor Who Magazine.
The world faces imminent destruction when Italy wins the World Cup! Can the fabled Time Lady Charleyostiantayshius save humanity from the dreaded Threllip Empire, or will her idiot assistant, the Doctor, ruin everything?




Seasons of Fear
The TARDIS finally gets Charley to Singapore in time for the festivities. However, while she enjoys her young man's company, his Grandfather, Sebastian Grayle, taunts the Doctor. Apparently, they are old and bitter enemies and Grayle has finally succeeded in killing the Doctor. With time running out, the Doctor and Charley must embark on a journey through history to discover how Grayle received the 'gift' of immortality and just how he has managed to destroy the Time Lord...



Embrace the Darkness
The Doctor and Charley travel to the remote Cimmerian System to unravel the mystery of its sun. But darkness has already embraced the scientific base on Cimmeria IV in more ways than one. In a fight for survival, the Doctor must use all his wits against a deadly artificial life-form and an ancient race whose return to the Cimmerian System threatens suffering and death on an apocalyptic scale.




The Time of the Daleks
The Daleks are back and face the Eighth Doctor for the first time.  As the Dalek Empire continues to spread through the galaxies, they seek, once again, to conquer the fourth dimension and travel back to the post-apocalyptic twenty-first century Earth to find a particular leader who can aid them in their quest. To the Doctor, their time device is crude and unworkable, and yet it does - leading him to wonder if the Daleks know more than they are letting everyone else believe.




Neverland
Why are the Time Lords so keen to track the Doctor down? Exactly what lengths will the Celestial Intervention Agency go to in their efforts to retrieve something important from within his TARDIS? Who is the mythological destroyer Zagreus? And what has caused Imperiatrix Romanadvoratrelundar to declare war on the rest of creation? The Doctor seeks the answers deep within an entirely new universe and must face up to the actions not only of himself but the hundreds and thousands of Time Lords who have gone before.



Zagreus
The Doctor is possessed by the anti-time force known only as Zagreus. As a result, he's rampaging through the TARDIS trying to kill poor Charley Pollard. And if he gets out, the universe is doomed. Charley, however, has met an old friend who is trying to explain just how Zagreus isn't the only problem the universe faces. Right now, hammering on the other side of a dimensional gateway are the Divergence. You see, this used to be their universe and they want to come home... Neither Zagreus, the Time Lords or even Lord Rassilon himself seem to think this is too good an idea but it's up to Charley to work out who is telling the biggest lies of all and whether the Divergence are the destroyers or the saviours of time itself...

Scherzo
There were two friends, and together they travelled the cosmos. They thwarted tyrants and defeated monsters, they righted wrongs wherever they went. They explored the distant future and the distant past, new worlds and galaxies, places beyond imagining.  But every good story has to come to an end...




The Creed of the Kromon
The Interzone is a fearsome nether-world protecting a zone ruled by the Kromon. Theirs is an arid land of dust and dying trees. Across the landscape are spheres that look like giant anthills. The Doctor believes that within one of these structures lie the clues that will lead him to his lost TARDIS.  The spheres are ruled by the insect-like Kromon who covet the TARDIS. When Charley is captured she is forced to metamorphosise into a hybrid-insect Queen and so to save her, the Doctor must barter his knowledge of space-travel technology, all the while knowing that he risks opening up all the realms of space to a rapacious race whose creed is not to create, only to plunder.

The Twilight Kingdom
The blood of innocents has been spilt ­ a terrible sequence of events has been set in motion. The forces of darkness are on the move.  Deep underground, an army of light prepares itself for the oncoming war.  The Doctor's used to winning. Stumbling in, reading the face of the enemy, and then beating the odds but what if this time he's got it wrong? Charley and C'rizz think he has.  Stripped of all that is familiar, just who is the Doctor? Major Koth thinks he knows.  Lost among the dark caverns of an unknown world, has the Doctor finally met his match?



Faith Stealer
When the Doctor, Charley and C'rizz find their journey through the Interzone interrupted by a nightmarish vision, they are surprised to find the Kro'ka offering the perfect solution.  The Multihaven ­ a vast array of religions and faiths housed in one harmonious community ­ appears to offer the perfect sanctuary in which to convalesce. But under the guidance of the charismatic Laan Carder, one religion seems to be gathering disciples at an alarming rate.  With the Doctor and Charley catching glimpses of an old friend and C'rizz on the receiving end of some unorthodox religious practices, their belief, hope and faith are about to be tested to the limit.  It¹s time to see the light.


The Last 
Trapped on a dying world, the Doctor and Charley come face-to-face with those responsible for the war to end wars, while C'rizz tries to understand what has happened and learns the terrible truth.  Powerful forces are at work on Bortresoye that not even a nuclear holocaust can tame; natural forces that have excited the interest of Excelsior, the self-proclaimed saviour of her people.  With Charley immobilised and C'rizz left to battle against the elements with some of the victims of war, one final, desperate hope of escape presents itself to the travellers.  But who will be the last to leave the planet? Who will have to stay behind? And will the Doctor, Charley and C'rizz live long enough to find out?

Caerdroia
Self-exiled to a new universe, separated from his TARDIS, opposed and manipulated by the Divergence and their agent the Kro'ka, the Doctor has been struggling to work out the nature of the cosmic game in which he's an unwilling pawn. Now, at last, he has a chance to find the answer ­ and regain the TARDIS!  Threatened and desperate, the Kro'ka abandons his behind-the-scenes machinations to confront the Doctor directly. But will both of them lose their way in the maze of the strange world in which they find themselves? A world in which a clock may have a cuckoo but no hands, a labyrinth imprisoning a paradox, and a Garden of Curiosities reveals something the Doctor has never seen before.  As the Doctor faces these challenges, Charley and C'rizz provide valuable help. But with the TARDIS itself at stake, the Doctor reaches deep inside himself to find some surprising new allies.


The Next Life 
"All things must die."  Washed up on the sandy shores of a paradise island, a wild-eyed shipwreck survivor is rescued by the wife of Daqar Keep, the richest man in the galaxy.  Her name's Perfection. He's the Doctor. Together, they face a journey into the dark heart of this mysterious island, to discover the deepest secrets of this timeless cosmos. That's if the giant crabs, killer crocodiles and murderous natives don't get them first.  Meanwhile, fellow travellers Charley and C'rizz have their own ordeal to endure, in the grip of the Doctor's most dangerous rival. And in a universe that's facing extinction, even the best of friends may soon become enemies...  This life is almost over. And not everyone will make it to the next.

Terror Firma  (July 2005)
Welcome back, Doctor… Centuries ago on the war-torn planet Skaro, a great scientist created the most evil creatures the Universe would ever know… Daleks.  It was at their genesis that the scientist, Davros, first met and was defeated by the Doctor.  Over the years and throughout space, they fought, a fight that ended with the Doctor’s destruction of Skaro and the Daleks. Except…  Davros survived. Alone. In the dark. With only thoughts of revenge keeping him alive.  The Doctor is back. Davros is waiting. Their destiny is now.

Scaredy Cat  (October 2005)
"Yaranaa - it means literally, 'the soul of the vengeful' - those whose lives have been cut short early and died with empty hearts"  Millennia ago, the people of the planet Caludaar pledged never to set foot on their sister planet Endarra.  But what secrets does the planet hold? There are laws even the Doctor won't break.  And while C'rizz learns that some tragedies can't be averted, Charley must decide who the enemy actually is.  For death walks on Endarra, and this time she won't be denied.

Other Lives  (December 2005)
London, 1851.  Scene of the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations. Scene also of a plot to un-seat the government, de-throne the monarch and start a republic.  If the Duke of Wellington himself is to be believed...  While the Doctor and Charley are drawn into the murky world of nineteenth-century politics, C'rizz struggles to maintain his dignity against growing odds. 
What begins as an attempt to prevent murder quickly becomes a desperate race to avert revolution. Separated from the TARDIS, the travellers are left to wonder if they'll get their own lives back or be forever entangled with the lives of others.  And who is Mrs Georgina Marlow? What need does she feel the Doctor can satisfy?

Time Works  (March 2006)
“You want to know about the Time Keepers?  We work in their shadow, every tick and tock of our lives. We hear them in the workings of the Great Clock. We work hard, turn our hands – but we all wind down in time, and that is when they come for us: when our time is up.”  The TARDIS lands in between times, in a time where this is no time. A time in which nothing can possibly be. But something is…  The Doctor, Charley and C’rizz are rats in the wheelwork, a threat to the schedule of a world where timing is everything. And the seconds are counting down to a fateful future that has already happened. Unless they can beat the clock.  Tick, tock.
