'''Philippa''' "'''Flip'''" '''Jackson''' is a fictional character played by [[Lisa Greenwood]] in a series of audio plays produced by [[Big Finish Productions]] based on the long-running British [[science fiction on television|science fiction television]] series ''[[Doctor Who]]''. She is a [[Companion (Doctor Who)|companion]] of the [[Sixth Doctor]]. |
|||
==Character history== |
|||
The character first appears in ''[[The Crimes of Thomas Brewster]]'', where she, alongside her boyfriend Jared Ramon, is transported from modern day London to a sentient planet called Symbios on a [[London Underground|tube train]] which passes through a temporal breach. There, Flip and Jared meet the [[Sixth Doctor]] and his then-companion [[Evelyn Smythe]], who return them to Earth. |
|||
Flip returns in ''[[The Curse of Davros]]'' where, journeying home on a night bus, she and Jared witness the crash of a [[Dalek]] scout ship. Investigating, they find the Sixth Doctor, whose mind he was forced to swap with that of [[Davros]] to thwart a Dalek attempt to alter the outcome of the [[Battle of Waterloo]] on 18 June 1815. Despite the fact that the Doctor was in Davros' body, Flip nevertheless recognised the Doctor's good nature from her past meeting with him. During this encounter, Jared's mind is swapped with that of a Dalek. After helping the Doctor to stop Davros from changing the outcome of the battle, and having the Doctor and Jared's minds returned to their respective bodies, she turns down the offer to return to the present with Jared in favour of joining the Doctor on his travels. |
|||
After a series of travels in the TARDIS, her time with the Doctor comes to an end in ''[[Scavenger (audio drama)|Scavenger]]'', when she becomes separated from the Doctor in Earth orbit in 2071, and almost becomes host to a piece of alien space debris named "Scavenger". After teleporting from its grasp with seconds before her absorption, she is trapped floating in space. Realising she is running out of oxygen, she records a message for the Doctor and uses her spacesuit thrusters to propel herself towards Earth, to either await rescue or die in the attempt. |
|||
Flip's fate would be later revealed in ''[[The Widow's Assassin]]'', when the Doctor met an older version of [[Peri Brown]] on the planet Krontep, she asked about Flip, whom the Doctor had mentioned. He told of her fall to Earth, but revealed that he'd used the TARDIS to slow her descent to a few hundred metres, thus saving her. He then further revealed that he'd received an invitation for her and Jared's wedding, implying that he had returned her to her native time. The Doctor invited Peri to attend the wedding with him, but she declined. |
|||
Lisa Greenwood reprises the role as Flip in ''[[The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure#Stage Fright|Stage Fright]]'', one of the audio stories in the audio anthology ''[[The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure]]''. Set before Flip's departure in ''Scavenger'', ''Stage Fright'' has the Doctor and Flip visiting [[Henry Gordon Jago]] and [[Professor George Litefoot]] in [[19th-century London|Victorian London]], where they explore a theatrical performance that includes scenes of the Doctor's past [[Regeneration (Doctor Who)|regenerations]] on stage, which turns out to be a plan by the [[Valeyard]] to lure the Doctor and attempt to rejuvenate himself with the Doctor's darkest thoughts. Flip successfully saved the Doctor and in turn overcame her stage fright (due to having frozen on-stage during a school play after never having learned her lines) by performing nursery rhymes on-stage. |
