The classic era of Doctor Who , which ran from 1963 to 1989, didn't always serve companions well, especially when they were female. Sure, Jo Grant , Sarah Jane Smith , Tegan Jovanka , and many of them were smart and capable and hugely popular, but more often than not, they were relegated to 'Damsel in Distress' status.
The writers did their best to make her a foil for the Doctor, like her being a bit of a health nut and constantly trying to get the Sixth Doctor to work out on the exercise bike and drink carrot juice. And she screamed when a monster attacked her. She screamed a lot, partly because Bonnie Langford, as a trained musical theatre actor since childhood, had a pitch-perfect scream. Female Doctor Who companions were Scream Queens long before slasher movies came along.
