Ben Jackson
Ben Jackson Life and Companionship
Ben Jackson was one of the last companions of the the 1st Doctor. Ben was a merchant navy seaman who was friends with Polly Wright and also co-companioned with her in the Tardis. Ben would later go on to marry Polly Wright, though her parents were not too happy about it.
Ben first met the Doctor when Polly went to speak to him on Dodo Chaplet's behalf, to inform him that she would not be rejoining him on his adventures in time and space. Polly also came to return Dodo's key.
After Ben helped un-brain wash her before WOTAN's destruction by the hands of one of it's own War Machines, Polly and Ben sneaked onto the Tardis to see and challenge the Doctor's claim that he could travel in time and space. Later, they help him save earth by stopping the Cybermen of Modas and watch the Doctor regenerate into the 2nd Doctor on the episode The Tenth Planet.
Ben Jackson traveled with the Doctor from episodes The War Machines to The Faceless One.
Most Remembered For :
1. He ended up marrying his co-companion Polly Wright.
2. He was a realist who because of that found it very difficult to accept that he was traveling though time and space.
3. Was willing to risk his life to save his fellow companions and the Doctor
4. Was one of the few companions who saw the Doctor regenerate for the first time.
