James Robert McCrimmon is a name that brings arguably the vast majority of Doctor Who fans happy memories and fondness for the entire Patrick Troughton era. What though is in that name, and despite only returning once on screen since the character returned to his right place in history, that marks him out as consistently being voted among the finest of companions that the Time traveller ever had by their side.

We denigrate the artist during their lifetime, and only appreciate them when they have passed.
