Character history

Zoe first appeared in the serial The Wheel in Space, where she was the librarian on board Space Station W3, also known as the Wheel. When the Cybermen attacked, she aided the Doctor and Jamie in defeating them and later stowed away aboard the TARDIS. In David Whitaker's script for The Wheel in Space, Zoe's last name was spelled "Heriot", but the double-"r" misspelling is also seen in reference works. The Wheel in Space is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which originally aired in six weekly parts from April 27 to June 1, 1968. ... The Cybermen are a fictional race of cyborgs who are amongst the most persistent enemies of the Doctor in the British science fiction television series, Doctor Who. ... James Robert McCrimmon, or simply Jamie, is a fictional character played by Frazer Hines in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... The Third Doctor emerging from the TARDIS in the 1970 serial Spearhead from Space. ... David Whitaker (1928 - February 4, 1980) helped create the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and served as the series first script editor. ...

Zoe held a degree in "pure mathematics" and was a genius, with intelligence scores comparable to the Doctor's. Those, coupled with her photographic memory and the advanced learning techniques of her era, made her somewhat like a human calculator, able to perform complicated mathematics in her head. Part of the reason for her wanting to travel with the Doctor was her chafing at the restrictions and sterile surroundings of her station-bound existence. Having been on the Wheel all her life, however, meant that her real world experience was severely limited, and that gave her an ability to frequently get herself in trouble. Photographic memory, eidetic memory, or total recall, is the ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with great accuracy and in seemingly unlimited volume. ...

Together with the Doctor and Jamie, she met the Cybermen again when they invaded 20th Century London, entered the surreal Land of Fiction, fought the Ice Warriors and survived the battlefields of the War Chief's war games. Her journeys with the Doctor came to an end in that last serial, when the Time Lords finally caught up with the Doctor. Forcing a regeneration on him and exiling him to Earth, the Time Lords returned Jamie and Zoe to their own times, wiping the memory of their experiences with the Doctor (save for their first encounters with him) in the process. London (pronounced ) is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. ...

Other appearances

Zoe's life after her return to her own time was not further explored in the series. In the spin-off short story "The Tip of the Mind" by Peter Anghelides, due to the memory blocks placed by the Time Lords, she is unable to access the subconscious memories of her time with the Doctor and make sense of the strange dreams these cause. Unfortunately, this causes her work to suffer, and she never reaches her full potential.
