Ian Briggs Ian Briggs wrote the " Doctor Who " stories " Dragonfire " and " The Curse of Fenric " as well as their novelisations . He also created the character of the Seventh Doctor ' s companion Ace , who first appeared in " Dragonfire " . Briggs based Ace on a " scanty " document from script editor Andrew Cartmel outlining a character who was London girl called Alf . ( DWM 473 ) In a talk with Cartmel , Briggs said he had watched the show " avidly " as a kid and teenager , but when he reached his early 20s , he believed he was starting to outgrow it . He said that while William Hartnell ' s First Doctor was not easy to empathise with , he still had a curiosity , cared about things and " wasn ' t just bad tempered " . Briggs believed that lacking these hooks was what went " wrong " with Colin Baker ' s Sixth Doctor , who was a similarly difficult character . ( DWM 473 ) Briggs described Russell T Davies ' approach to " Doctor Who " in the 21st century as " a vivid re - imagining , taking the basic principles [ of the 20th century series ] and doing them in the way TV is now made instead of just continuing from the 1980s " . He was " greatly in admiration of both Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat in developing their new versions " . However , he did not believe that either Davies or Moffat were reframing Ace when they created their own ideas for contemporary companion s . Instead he thought that the " great idea " that " young women from contemporary Earth make a good dynamic for a companion " was just something Briggs , Cartmel ( with his outline for " Alf " ) , Davies and Moffat were drawn towards separately .
