Ace
Sophie Aldred
"Wicked!"
One of the last companions of the good Doctor, Sophie's 'Ace'
is a wild, explosive-prone, reckless addition to the show. The picture
to the left is from the final episode produced by the BBC called
"Survival". In the picture she has red eyes because she is slowly
transforming into one of the inhabitants of the alien world she has
traveled to with the Doctor. She wears a black leather jacket decorated
with several patches and carries small whip-cream canisters that contain
a highly explosive material called "Nitro Nine". In many episodes the
Doctor asks Ace to leave her Nitro Nine behind, but she has her own ideas of
when she should leave her favourite secret weapon behind. In
"Rememberance of the Daleks" the Doctor exclaims, "Ace, give me some of that
Nitro Nine your not carrying!" to destroy a Dalek. Both Nitro nine & her
flack-jacket are trademarks of Ace and bring a youthful flare to her
character. Sophie starred in the following episodes with Sylvester
McCoy:
- Dragonfire
- Remembrance of the Daleks
- The Happiness Patrol
- Silver Nemesis
- The Greatest Show in the Galaxy
- Battlefield
- Ghostlight
- The Curse of Fenric
- Survival
