X ~ X-Ray - In the 2005 story Dalek, the 9th Doctor was subjected to an alien equivalent of an x-ray machine which allowed American billionaire Henry van Statten to see the Doctor's Gallifreyan physiology. Unlike the standard x-rays used in hospitals on Earth, the x-ray the Doctor was scanned with was considerably painful.

Just wanted to give this thread a bump. Has this run it's course or is anyone still interested in continuing this from where I left off with the above post? I'm game if anyone else is.

Y ~ Yeti - The Yeti although resembling the cryptozoological creatures also called the Yeti, are in actuality alien robots. Their external appearance, that of a huge hairy biped, disguises a small spherical mechanism that provides its motive power. The Yeti serve the Great Intelligence, a disembodied entity from another planet, which tried to form a physical body in order to conquer the Earth. The Yeti are initially a ruse to scare off curiosity seekers, and later form an army serving the Great Intelligence.

The Great Intelligence and its Yeti minions were thwarted twice by the Doctor's second incarnation, played by Patrick Troughton, in the serials 'The Abominable Snowmen' and 'The Web of Fear'. A Yeti was also one of the creatures in the Death Zone featured in 'The Five Doctors'.

Thank you Foxz.

Z ~ Zarbi - The Zarbi appeared in the 1965 story The Web Planet, and are an (ant-like) insectoid species, with some characteristics associated with beetles, from the planet Vortis, which were controlled by the power of the Animus. They are roughly eight feet long, and the Menoptra claim, perhaps a little callously, that they are "little more than cattle".

They possess little intelligence but were not at all aggressive until the Animus arrived. They were enslaved to the alien consciousness and considered the butterfly-like Menoptra (with which they once lived peacefully) their mortal enemies. Only they could control the woodlouse-like venom grubs (also known as larvae guns).

They returned to their normal ways after the Animus was defeated by the 1st Doctor, Barbara Wright, Ian Chesterton, and Vicki Pallister.

E - Eternal - Eternals, as seen in 'Enlightenment' (1983), are beings who live in the "trackless wastes of eternity", as opposed to the likes of the Doctor and his companions who are "Ephemerals". Eternals use Ephemerals for their thoughts and ideas. The Eternals have lived for so long that they are unable to think for themselves and need human minds to give them existence, and entertainment; as such, they use human crews on their ships. Eternals seek out "Enlightenment", the wisdom to know everything. They are aware of the Void, calling it "the Howling" ('Army of Ghosts' (2006)) and were responsible for banishing the Carrionites ('The Shakespeare Code' (2007)).

H ~ Harkness, Jack - The man who calls himself Captain Jack Harkness is a former Time Agent from the 51st century, former companion to the Doctor, and current leader of Torchwood Three in Cardiff.

Jack first appeared in the 2005 story The Empty Child. He encountered the Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler on Earth in 1941 and attempted to scam them with a Chula Warship. Jack had accidentally unleashed a technological plague in London after opening the Warship which began altering the human race into Gas Masked Zombies. Jack helped the Doctor stop the plague and joined him aboard the TARDIS. Jack and his friends were pulled in to the 2001st century and on to Gamestation where they became involved in a Dalek plot to harvest humans and turn them in to Daleks and make Earth the New Skaro. Jack led the defence to give the Doctor the time he needed to set up the Delta Wave to destroy the Daleks but was exterminated. He was subsequently brought back to life by Rose who had absorbed the energy of the Time Vortex. The Doctor sensed Jack's resurrection and his immortality and left him stranded.

Jack then used his Vortex Manipulator and travelled to Earth in the 21st century but instead ended up in the year 1869 where he soon learnt of his immortality. He was recruited to work for Torchwood Three in 1899. In 1999, Jack became leader. Following the fall of Torchwood One in 2007, Jack changed the mission of Torchwood in the Doctor's honour. In 2008, Jack was reunited with the Doctor and met his new companion Martha Jones. Jack learnt why he became immortal and after helping to stop the Doctor's Time Lord nemesis, the Master, he returned to Torchwood Three.

Several months later, Jack and Torchwood Three joined up with Martha Jones and UNIT, Sarah Jane Smith and Rose Tyler to help the Doctor and his companion Donna Noble defeat the Daleks and Davros attempt to wipe out people and planets of all non-Dalek life.

I ~ Ianto Jones - Ianto Jones acts as Torchwood Three's "general support officer". His job entails manning the reception desk in the Information Centre that acts as a cover, administering the computer systems, serving coffee and tea, receiving reports and cleaning up loose ends – such as covering up deaths and destroying information that could trigger "retconned" memories. While he primarily functions as an administrator for the team's headquarters, Ianto does, and is fully able to, accompany the team on investigations.

J ~ Jones, Samantha "Sam" - Samantha "Sam" Jones was a companion to the 8th Doctor in the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures (EDA) line of books. She made her first appearance in The Eight Doctors and her last in Interference, Book II.

Sam was 16-years old when she first met the Doctor in 1997. She was attending Coal Hill School (the same school attended by the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan, in 1963). In The Eight Doctors the Doctor rescues her from drug dealers, after which she travels with him for many adventures.

Sam finally departs the TARDIS after the events of the two-novel story Interference, staying hidden in 1996 with the Doctor's former companion Sarah Jane Smith until her younger self first leaves with the Doctor.

In the novel Sometime Never..., it is revealed that Sam eventually becomes a political activist and is later shot and killed in 2002. This is during the events of a later story arc when a group called the Council of Eight is eliminating the Doctor's previous companions from the timeline. Although the Council is defeated and several companions restored to history, in the novel The Gallifrey Chronicles the Doctor finds Sam's grave in a London churchyard in 2005 so her death was actually a part of Sam's natural course of history.
