Jamie McCrimmon
Encyclopedia
James Robert "Jamie" McCrimmon is a fictional character played by Frazer Hines
in the long-running British science fiction television
series Doctor Who
. A piper
of the Clan McLaren who lived in 18th century Scotland
, he was a companion
of the Second Doctor
and a regular in the programme from 1966 to 1969. The spelling of his surname varies from one script to another; it is alternately rendered as Macrimmon and McCrimmond.
Frazer Hines played Jamie in 117 episodes. His character appeared in more episodes of Doctor Who than any other companion.
, encountering the Doctor
, Ben and Polly
in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden
in 1746. At the end of the story, Polly suggests that the Doctor take Jamie along with them. Jamie continues to travel with the Doctor even after Ben and Polly leave the TARDIS
at the end of The Faceless Ones
. He appears in all but the very first Second Doctor
serial, The Power of the Daleks
, and in more episodes than any other companion, although Tegan Jovanka
served with the Doctor for the longest continuous period in terms of years on the series.
Jamie shares a lively, bantering relationship with the Doctor, and during his time in the series sees the arrival and departure of first Victoria Waterfield
and finally Zoe Heriot
. Jamie, being a product of his time, is always solicitous and gentlemanly towards the women who travel with him. Jamie does not have the background to always understand the situations his adventures with the Doctor take him into, but is quick enough to translate high technology and concepts into equivalents he can understand and deal with. His relationship with the Doctor is not always smooth and in The Evil of the Daleks
he comes close to leaving the Doctor whom he feels has been manipulating him and Victoria to discover the human factor for the Daleks, without thinking about the consequences. His battle cry
"Creag an tuire", in Scottish Gaelic, translates to "The Boar's Rock." It is similar to Creag an tuirc, the motto
of the MacLaren
Clan of Scotland
.
Together with the Doctor, Jamie encounters Cybermen
, Dalek
s, the Yeti
in the London Underground
, the Ice Warrior
s, and many other dangers. Jamie is particularly fond and protective of Victoria, due in part to her being an elegant Victorian
lady. For example, in The Ice Warriors
Jamie's first priority is to rescue Victoria despite being injured to the point where he can't walk. Jamie is heartbroken when Victoria decides to stay with the Harris family at the end of Fury from the Deep
, to the point of even being briefly angry with the Doctor for allowing her to leave (The Wheel in Space
). Jamie initially finds Zoe's more modern attitudes and bossy nature irritating, but eventually adopts the same protective attitude disguised by the same bantering he engages in with the Doctor. Often Jamie's simple common sense beats Zoe's strict logic, such as in The Dominators
where Jamie realises that the erupting volcano is going to threaten, while the Doctor and Zoe are still congratulating themselves.
During the filming of The Mind Robber
, Frazer Hines contracted chickenpox
and was replaced for part of the serial by Hamish Wilson
. This was written in as part of the story when Jamie is turned into a cardboard cut-out and has his face removed by the Master of the Land of Fiction. The Doctor's first attempt to reconstruct his face is unsuccessful. Eventually Jamie's real face is restored when Hines recovered.
Jamie's travels with the Doctor come to an end on the battlefields of The War Games
, when the Time Lord
s finally put the Doctor on trial for interfering with the universe. For his offences, the Doctor is forced to regenerate and exiled to Earth
. Jamie and Zoe are returned to their own time, their memories of the Doctor wiped, save for their first encounters with him. When last seen, Jamie is fighting an English redcoat back on the fields of Scotland.
Frazer Hines returned to Doctor Who as an illusory image of Jamie in the 20th anniversary special The Five Doctors
. He also reprised the role in the 1985 serial The Two Doctors
alongside Patrick Troughton
and Colin Baker
as the Second and Sixth Doctors respectively.
". As we do not directly see Patrick Troughton regenerate into Jon Pertwee
's Third Doctor, fans hypothesise that, just prior to his third incarnation, the Time Lords recruited the Second Doctor as a covert operative. This theory also helps explain how, in "The Five Doctors", he was aware that the Time Lords had erased his companions' memories of him. In at least some of these untold adventures, Jamie would also have accompanied the Doctor. (Although she does not appear, Victoria's presence is also mentioned in The Two Doctors.) While the television continuity has yet to confirm these theories, the spin-off
media have incorporated it into their working backstory.
Jamie, by the 6th Doctor in The Two Doctors
and Attack of the Cybermen
, by the 7th Doctor in The Curse of Fenric
. A vision of Jamie is seen along with every other companion aside from Leela
on the scanner screen in Resurrection of the Daleks
.
In Tooth and Claw
, the Tenth Doctor
uses the alias Doctor James McCrimmon together with a Scottish accent (in reality David Tennant's
own).
.
In the comic strip story "The World Shapers" with the Sixth Doctor
, published in Doctor Who Magazine
#127–#129, an elderly Jamie remembers his time with the Doctor, explaining that the Doctor had taught him tricks to ensure the Time Lords would not really wipe his memories. In this story, written by Grant Morrison
, Jamie sacrifices himself to stop the titular world shaper machine. Jamie's death outside the television series was controversial due to his status as a prominent companion.
In the Virgin New Adventures
novel Timewyrm: Revelation
, writer Paul Cornell
omitted Jamie from the group of deceased companions encountered by the Seventh Doctor
. In "Planet of the Dead" (DWM #141-#142), a race of shapeshifter
s known as the Ganzalum impersonate the Doctor's dead companions, including Jamie.
Big Finish Productions
have reunited Jamie with the Sixth Doctor in a series of audio plays starting with City of Spires
. However, in the final story, Legend of the Cybermen
, it is revealed that he is simply a fictional construct within the realm seen in The Mind Robber, created by an older Zoe, based on her memories of the real Jamie.

Past Doctor Adventures
Telos Doctor Who novellas
, author of the Outlander
series, admits that her character Jamie Fraser was inspired by Doctor Who's Jamie, in her nonfiction work The Outlandish Companion:
"This character wore a kilt, which I thought rather fetching, and demonstrated--in this particular episode--a form of pigheaded male gallantry that I've always found endearing: the strong urge on the part of a man to protect a woman, even though he may realize that she's plainly capable of looking after herself."
In a footnote, Gabaldon states that the episode she was watching was "The War Games
".
