Helen Sinclair is a fictional character in a series of audio plays produced by Big Finish Productions based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by Hattie Morahan. A language scholar for the British Museum during the 1960s, she became a companion of the Eighth Doctor alongside Liv Chenka.

Character history

The character first appears in The Red Lady, where she met the Eighth Doctor and Liv Chenka who were in search of a temporal anomaly related to the Eleven while working as an assistant to Professor Walter Pritchard. She joined them in their investigation of artifacts connected to the Red Lady and helped them defeat her. Helen was dismissed from her position, as her boss was suspicious that she was behind the artifacts' theft, and accepted the Doctor's offers to join him and Liv on their travels. She joins their efforts to track down the dangerous Time Lord criminal the Eleven.

During her travels with the Doctor, she encounters River Song, with River trusting Helen with the secret of her true history with the Doctor despite the risk of a younger Doctor learning about her existence. One trip sees Helen meet her brother in 2008, during which she learns that she can never return to her time despite her family's reputation being seriously tainted by her apparent theft of the artefacts, forcing her to claim to be her own daughter.

In the final episode of Doom Coalition, Helen is last seen trapped in a damaged TARDIS with the Eleven. She returns in the following audio series, Ravenous, where she has spent some time trying to help the Eleven after the TARDIS crash-landed in an asylum, but her efforts are proven to be a failure as the Eleven attempts to take control of the local system with the aid of the Kandyman.
