Peri Brown 
|
Peri (short for Perpugilliam) is an American botany student from the 1980s. She met the fifth Doctor when she was on holiday in Lanzerote with her stepfather Howard, and helped him to defeat the Master. She was the companion when he regenerated into the sixth Doctor, and stayed with him even though they were always bickering. |
| Recurring Characters: |
The Nestene Consciousness |
The Nestene Consciousness is a disembodied intelligence descended from a being that survived the previous universe. It attempted to invade the Earth in Spearhead from Space (Season 7) and Terror of the Autons (Season 8). |
|
Autons |
Plastic beings controlled by the Nestene Intelligence. There are two types of Autons - sophisticated duplicates which need the original to be alive in order to duplicate them, and crude killing machines with a gun hidden in their hands. The guns have two settings - kill and disintegrate. The Doctor faced them in Spearhead from Space (Season 7) and Terror of the Autons (Season 8). |
