DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN FOREMAN (ebook)

Susan Foreman is a fictional character who appeared in the British science fiction television series, Doctor Who. The granddaughter and original companion of the First Doctor, she was played by actress Carole Ann Ford from 1963 to 1964, in the show's first season and the first two stories of the second season. Ford reprised the role for the feature-length 20th Anniversary episode, “The Five Doctors” (1983) and the 30th Anniversary charity special, “Dimensions in Time” (1993). Susan appeared in ten stories (51 episodes).

Author Richard Kirby takes a personal look back in Desperately Seeking Susan Foreman through fifty years of time travel on a quest to obtain a signed photograph from every living female companion—from Carole Ann Ford’s character, who inspired the book’s title, right through to Doctor Who’s current sidekick, Jenna-Louise Coleman’s character, Clara Oswald.
