Lucie Miller is a character in a series of audio plays produced by Big Finish Productions for BBC7 based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She is a companion of the Eighth Doctor, and is voiced by Sheridan Smith.
The Eighth Doctor mentions her, as well as other audio companions in the mini-episode "The Night of the Doctor".
The character's first appearance is in Blood of the Daleks. She is described as being a "strong willed northern lass," and is initially an unwilling passenger in the TARDIS, having seemingly been placed with the Doctor as part of a Time Lord witness protection programme. Lucie tells the Doctor that the Time Lords have placed her in his care because she has seen something important, but doesn't know what. Her initial attitude towards the Doctor is disdainful, but she recognizes that he's "about saving worlds".
In Horror of Glam Rock, the character unexpectedly encounters her 'Auntie Pat', Patricia Ryder, the drummer of a failed band called Methylated Spirits, in 1974. As this is over a decade before Lucie is born, Pat is sceptical, but grows to like her as the story develops.
After several more adventures with the Doctor, the events of Human Resources reveal much of the mystery surrounding Lucie: the Time Lords learned that the Celestial Intervention Agency have been tracking Lucie because they believe she would become a terrible future dictator within Europe, and attempt to alter her present to prevent this. But when she applies for a job in an office building, which is part of another CIA plot, the Time Lords place her with the Doctor to protect her from the effects of exposure to too much CIA technology. But in reality, a woman named Karen, who had been interviewed on the same day as Lucie, is the actual future dictator, and the Time Lords have either been tricked or simply made a mistake. At the end of the story Lucie and the Doctor continue to travel together in the TARDIS.
