  Leela (Doctor Who) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She was a warrior of the savage Sevateem tribe, who were the descendants of the crew of an Earth ship that crash landed on an unnamed planet somewhere in the far future.
Leela was a companion of the Fourth Doctor and a regular in the programme from 1977 to 1978.
Although the Doctor at this point was content to travel alone, Leela forced her way into the TARDIS and continued to accompany the Doctor on his journeys.

 K-9 (Doctor Who) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fourth Doctor would often use a glib remark to disarm those who were surprised by K-9's appearance; in The Stones of Blood he said, "They're all the rage in Trenton, New Jersey." The Tenth Doctor defended its less-than-streamlined design ("...so disco!") to Rose Tyler, remarking that it was cutting edge in the year 5000.
K-9 Mark III was a gift from the Doctor to Sarah Jane Smith, and appeared with her in the pilot episode of the aborted spin-off series K-9 and Company as well as briefly in the 20th anniversary television movie The Five Doctors.
K-9 Mark III's final appearance was in the second series of the new Doctor Who with David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, alongside Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith in the episode School Reunion.

 Who's Doctor Who? - The Companions 4
Leela was fond of K-9 Mk I, and it's fitting that when she left The Doctor, surprisingly remaining on Gallifrey when she fell in love with guard captain Andred, that the faithful robotic dog remained with her (The Invasion of Time).
Leela and Andred were married, in what must have been an interesting ceremony, if we may judge from The Doctor's later comment that he was sorry to have missed it (Arc of Infinity).

 Doctor Who
Doctor Who, the world's longest continuously running television science fiction series, was made by the BBC between 1963 and 1989 (with repeats being shown in many countries thereafter, and negotiations with Steven Spielberg and others to make new programs continuing into the mid-1990s).
The Doctor was deliberately constructed as a character against stereotype: a "cranky old man", yet also as vulnerable as a child; an anti-hero playing against the more obvious "physical" hero of the schoolteacher Ian (himself played by the well-known lead actor in commercial television's Ivanhoe series).
Following Hartnell, the Doctor was played by the Chaplinesque "space hobo" Patrick Troughton, the dignified "establishment" figure of Jon Pertwee, the parodic visual mix of Bob Dylan and Oscar Wilde, Tom Baker, the vulnerable but "attractive to young women" Peter Davison, the aggressive and sometimes violent Colin Baker, and the gentle, whimsical Sylvester McCoy.

Yes, during the time the Doctor and Leela make a few, minor discoveries about the creature and there's a lot of supsicion cast around the supporting cast and quite a few of them die, but overall, it's not as interesting as it could be.
Adelaide provides a strong contrast with Leela, showing how far removed the Doctor's companion is from the traditional screaming heroine of a story, but otherwise the only interesting characters in the story are the Doctor and Leela as they seek to overcome suspicions and contemporary attitudes in order to tackle the Rutan.
Leela was played by Louise Jameson, who for me has the distinction of going from one of the best British TV shows ever - Tenko in 1981 - to one of the worst - Eastenders in 1995.

Doctor Who and religion are sticky subjects, sometimes a story tackles the subject head on such as in the gripping The Massacre but more often they are background elements (look at the recent Halflife, that has a fascinating religious background but is not the centre of the story at all).
