Philippa "Flip" Jackson is a fictional character played by Lisa Greenwood in a series of audio plays produced by Big Finish Productions based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She is a companion of the Sixth Doctor.
The character first appears in The Crimes of Thomas Brewster, where she, alongside her boyfriend Jared Ramon, is transported from modern day London to a sentient planet called Symbios on a tube train which passes through a temporal breach. There, Flip and Jared meet the Sixth Doctor and his then-companion Evelyn Smythe, who return them to Earth.
Flip returns in The Curse of Davros where, journeying home on a night bus, she and Jared witness the crash of a Dalek scout ship. Investigating, they find the Sixth Doctor, whose mind he was forced to swap with that of Davros to thwart a Dalek attempt to alter the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. Despite the fact that the Doctor was in Davros' body, Flip nevertheless recognised the Doctor's good nature from her past meeting with him. During this encounter, Jared's mind is swapped with that of a Dalek. After helping the Doctor to stop Davros from changing the outcome of the battle, and having the Doctor and Jared's minds returned to their respective bodies, she turns down the offer to return to the present with Jared in favour of joining the Doctor on his travels.
After a series of travels in the TARDIS, her time with the Doctor comes to an end in Scavenger, when she becomes separated from the Doctor in Earth orbit in 2071, and almost becomes host to a piece of alien space debris named "Scavenger". After teleporting from its grasp with seconds before her absorption, she is trapped floating in space. Realising she is running out of oxygen, she records a message for the Doctor and uses her spacesuit thrusters to propel herself towards Earth, to either await rescue or die in the attempt.
