Dorothea "Dodo" Chaplet is a fictional character played by Jackie Lane
in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor
Who. An Earth teenager from the year 1966, she was a companion of the
First Doctor and a regular in the programme in its third season, from
February to July 1966. Only three of the serials in which Dodo
appeared as a regular are complete in the BBC archive (The Ark, The
Gunfighters and The War Machines). Dodo's personality was an
unsophisticated, bright and happy one.Ultimately the character was not
deemed a success by the programme's makers, and Lane's contract was
not extended beyond episode two of The War Machines. To replace her,
two new characters, Polly (Anneke Wills) and Ben (Michael Craze), the
new faces of Doctor Who in the "swinging" mid-sixties, became
companions. Dodo appeared in six stories (19 episodes, of which 11
currently exist in the BBC Archives).Dodo has appeared in several
spin-off productions, including Big Finish audio dramas and novels,
all without the involvement of Lane.Dodo is introduced at the end of
the serial The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve. In that story, the
Doctor and Steven travel to 1572 Paris, where they witness the
persecution of the city's Huguenot population. Despite befriending a
young woman named Anne Chaplet, the Doctor knows he cannot prevent the
coming massacre of 10,000 Huguenots, including Anne, by the Catholic
French authorities. He therefore leaves in the TARDIS, taking Steven
with him. When Steven finds out, he is furious and considers leaving
the Doctor while the TARDIS is in 1960s London. Dodo Chaplet Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
