10 Saddest Doctor Who Companion Departures
8. Jamie And Zoe
Classic Doctor Who didn't really have too much in the way of big, dramatic and sad departures, but the end of Jamie and Zoe's adventures with the Time Lord was relatively harsh.
The two companions had travelled with the Doctor for some time and had loved their time with him, but as always, it has to end. In their case, the final departure came at the end of The War Games serial, which saw Patrick Troughton's Doctor forced to regenerate at the end.
His companions are taken from him and placed back into their lives after their first meeting with the Doctor. Their memories are also wiped of all but their first encounter with him. To make their punishment even more sadistic, the Time Lords show the Doctor a video of each companion going back to their lives.
It seems quite innocent at first until Jamie is almost shot and then we realise he's been dumped back into the middle of a war on the losing side which means his future doesn't look too bright. It's a horrible end to one of the Doctor's favourite and most trusted friends.
