Dr Who Review - The Companions - Jamie

[@tidalblue2739]

DOCTOR: But Jamie, it's a brilliant idea! It's so simple only you could have thought of it. JAMIE: Oh. Eh? *- The Dominators*

[@SirMeowsAlot89]

[@katiemartin6991]

Fun Fact: The woman speaking to Jamie in the scene that plays from 8:34 to 9:36 is Pauline Collins, better known for playing Queen Victoria in the episode "Tooth and Claw" in 2006. In that episode, Queen Victoria meets Rose Tyler and The Doctor, who introduces himself as "James McCrimmon".

[@jessica23claire]

OHHHHH I knew she looked familiar! I just couldn’t place why!

[@peterfedulow5491]

Wouldn't it be great if Jamie/Frazer returned for one last episode. The current Doctor could encounter Jamie as an old Highlander/who would be essential to the episode (Yeti anyone?) and at the end return Jamie's memories of them together. I wish I was rich so I could sack Chibnall and produce the episode myself.

I’ve always adored Jamie! And his chemistry with the second Doctor was brilliant! 😊 such a great duo!

[@michaelthomas6108]

Troughtons Doctor and Jamie are my favourite TARDIS team. Best friends through time and space.

[@um773]

It's fascinating how much Jamie changed during his run with the Doctor. He came in being a scottish highlander from the 1700s who grew up with no knowledge of the world and with a very primitive mind that reflected the primitive era of the highlanders. Throughout his run, Jamie became exposed to so much futuristic science, unworldly monsters, different eras of the earth, all kinds of people and many different living conditions and norms that by the end of his run Jamie had become a formal, educated and a more modern person with a scottish accent. The sheer difference in Jamie between The Highlanders and The War Games is just fascinating. And to make it all completely devastating, Jamie, much like Donna Noble, gets his memory wiped and loses all of that knowledge, wisdom and personal growth he had gained. He was transformed back to his former primitive self in the dangerous and bloody world of the highlanders. Jamie will always be one of my favourite companions of all time.

[@SJKPJR007]

A further addition to the astonishing quality of this channel's canon. A wonderful video, engaging in concept and captivating in execution. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos. Your diligence is as appreciated as it is evident. Utterly brilliant!

[@carrs01]

Just totally blown away by your analysis. Thank you for a wonder 1/2 hour or so. I can't make up my mind if I'd like the next one to be either Jo Grant or Sarah Jane, who along with Jamie, are my trio of favourite Companions. Thank you for all your hard work and the pleasure it gives.

[@laurenbastin8849]

Jamie is my favourite ever companion, and I feel like more show companions should be drawn in from different time periods outside of the present of the film

[@seancampbell7884]

Did my 5th rewatch of your videos while sat by the pool on holiday 😅. One thing I'd like to add about the two Doctors is I think Colin should get credit for being able to establish good chemistry with himself and Frazer. Couldn't have been easy after seeing how effortless Patrick and Frazers chemistry was.

[@stecurrell5863]

Well done yet again another professional and intelligently made documentary. You never fail to deliver

[@calebleland8390]

I always loved the relationship between Jamie and The Doctor. There are some comics that collected comic strips from Doctor Who magazine written by Grant Morrison where the 7th Doctor meets up with a much older Jamie. He's been shunned by his clan for being crazy because he didn't forget his time with The Doctor, and he gets one last adventure with the Time Lord. If you can find the two books, they're definitely worth a read (I mean, Grant Morrison writing Doctor Who!). I love your videos, brother! I hope you do more of the Companions!

[@LOOKLOOKLOOKAGAIN]

Excellent analysis - a partnership right up there with Sarah Jane and Doctor 4 - never equalled or surpassed - the balance between the characters is spot on with some cracking japery which avoided being silly. I loved the dynamics between these two - the scene in Tombs where the Doctor and Jamie go to hold hands with Victoria to comfort her ; holding each others in error then realise what they have done and soon let go always raises a smile. As you said their pairing still ignites in The Two Doctors, although this story isn't too bad , it's their appearence which prevents it from flat lining completely - if only they had kept Jamie on in the 6th Doctors televised adventures then the execrable Trial of a Timelord may have been that more bearable. Jamie could have been the one to have, now and again, told Mel to calm the **** down when it was vitally needed. Brilliant stuff.

[@minicle426]

I don't really get Sarah's popularity. 🤷‍♂️

[@cleverdickfilms]

No problem at all; you're most welcome! The primary research is gathered from the About Time books by Tat Wood, various programme guides I've gathered over the years, Doctor Who Magazine and their series of specials from a few years back on each Doctor and their 'In Their Own Words' series which is great for getting personal perspectives. I also use the David Howe book 'The Companions' for this series. Thanks very much for your lovely comments!

Wouldn't it be awesome if they somehow did laird of the McCrimmon just in modern who? Like instead of it being a departure episode, the current doctor would meet jamie by chance, and then the episode that never was will have a chance to be. Would be a lovely episode to bring back Jamie's character and give him one last story. Could even have one of his children or grandchildren join the tardis at the end. Would be cool to have another McCrimmon on board. Also, with the whole universe reset thing that RTD did in the specials, i dont see why the great intelligence can't come back too. Or even fit Zoe into the story somehow too, so they can have a reuinion on screen. I mean the story outline is kinda there all you'd have to do is just rewrite it a bit. Hopefully one day who knows

[@marionbaggins]

*Remembering* Ah Yes, Frazer Hines' Uncanny Patrick Troughton Impression in Big Finish... The Impression so Great, I thought that Patrick Troughton (the 2nd Doctor) was still alive!!! Frazer Hines and Chris Walker-Thomson (a fellow Troughton Impressionist on KZbin) should chat together!!!

[@itsshaz1333]

Jamie is one of my favourite classic companions he’s just great.

[@jaketroop9493]

Throughout Doctor Who's history there have been some great Doctor/Companion double acts, the 4th Doctor and Sarah Jane, the 7th Doctor and Ace, the 9th Doctor and Rose, but the 2nd Doctor and Jamie were made for each other. It's clear how close Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines were as friends, whenever they're together on screen they are never boring to watch, and it's fitting that Hines left at the very end of Troughton's era, one of the best Tardis teams. I'm really loving these companion videos so far, but I'm also really looking forward to part 11 of the main series, but I can wait.

As a massive fan of Outlander just a note regarding the name of Jamie Fraser. He was indeed named after the Character AND the actor. His full name is hilariously awesome: _James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser_ The Jamie of the books is pretty much your perfect man. Strong and hard-headed but also mot afraid to change and grow. Specifically due to his strong relationship with the Holy Bible and intentional application of his Catholic faith. I live my Jamie!!

And then Moffat made that terrible comic canon in which Jamie, - after being returned, - is revealed to have lived a horrible life. Outcast from society and ridiculed, only to die on some random planet in what's basically suicide. Sorry for venting, but few stories anger me as much as The World Shapers.

Being emergency services and a first responder as law enforcement, I’m always on the go especially now. Thank you for your amazing videos on the Doctors and this Amazing video on one of my favorite companions Jamie ! I’m a huge Dr. Who fan here in the U. S., and your vids help me relieve stress. I’ve enjoyed listening to them all countless times, now I’m watching this one again for the third time! Thanks!

Clueless me was surprised when they gave Frazier Hines a part in Emmerdale Farm, what with it being set in Yorkshire and not Scotland.

Excellent, as usual with all of your stuff. Better than the official documentaries. Well done 👍
