Charlotte Elspeth Pollard, or simply Charley, is a fictional character played by India Fisher in a series of audio plays produced by Big Finish Productions, a radio show based on the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.[1] She is a young woman from 1930s England, and she is a companion of the Eighth Doctor.[2]

Charley's final story with the Eighth Doctor was in the play The Girl Who Never Was,[3] however, this play ended with the Sixth Doctor's version of the theme tune. The play The Condemned confirmed that Charley was rescued by the Sixth Doctor, and she continued to travel with this incarnation until Blue Forgotten Planet. Big Finish continued Charley's later travels in her own audio series, Charlotte Pollard, which had two volumes released in 2014 and 2017.
