Classic Companions Ace and Tegan Return for Doctor Who’s Centenary Special – First Look

Two companions from the classic era of Doctor Who will return in the Centenary special.

Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka –  companion to both the Fourth and Fifth Doctors — and Sophie Aldred as Ace – companion to the Seventh Doctor, will reprise their roles on screen for the first time since leaving the show.

Janet Fielding says: “In some ways it was a very different experience to what it was like when I finished recording in 1983, but in many ways it was very similar. It was so lovely to be a working member of the Doctor Who family again.”

Sophie Aldred says: “It’s been quite a challenge to have such a big secret to keep, even from my family, and I couldn’t be more thrilled and excited to have been asked back. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I adored being part of the TARDIS team again.”

A trailer can be watched here. Doctor Who’s Centenary special airs this October.
