Jamie McCrimmon

Jamie McCrimmon

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 116 episodes. His character appeared in more episodes of Doctor Who than any other companion. Conversely, Sarah Jane Smith appeared in 85 episodes of Doctor Who (80 in her original 1973-1976 tenure, "The Five Doctors", and 4 episodes in the revived era), but had a total of 139 episodes when her spin-offs, K-9 and Company and The Sarah Jane Adventures, are added to the count, or 141 if the charity specials are included.
