I believe this was brought up in a 'Confidential. The original Doctor Who companions were kind of useless, always needed saving. The new series, the creators wanted to do away with that cliche female role. So Piper was supposed to create this new aura of the Doctor's companion. However, I still felt like she was a kid, and did not fulfill this role. Freema Agyeman did a much better job at this. I think Tate has done the best job at this. She is quick, she is assertive, and she doesn't just give up.

Hold on a minute!
Starting at the beginning:
Susan Foreman - the Doctors grandaughter. Left his care to rebuild an Earth ravaged by Daleks.
Barbara Wright - a shoolteacher. Stood up to the Doctor and looked after Susan.
Ian Chesterton - rides horses, fights with swords, goes on rescue missions.
Jamie McCrimmon - 18th Century highland warrior
Dr Elizabth Shaw - civilian doctor in UNIT (sounds familiar)
Jo Grant - civilian UNIT operative
Sarah Jane Smith - the only old companion who came back in the new run (so far).
Harry Sullivan - a member of the Royal Navy, and another Doctor in UNIT.
Leela - savage descendant of a crashed Earth spaceship. Nice line in leather bikinis and killing things.
Romana (and Romana II) - time lady. Nuff said.
Nyssa - Helps defeat the Master after he kills her father. Mathematical genius.
Adric - a bit of a git, but he does die in a blaze of glory and self sacrifice.
Ace - clobbered a Dalek with a baseball bat. That tough enough for you?
