That was pretty much the theme of the whole series... Yeah, well it certainly did keep on recurring -- Gwynneth in "The Unquiet Dead", Nancy in "The Doctor Dances", Cathia in "The Long Game"; I'm not sure whether Harriet Jones in "Aliens Of London/World War Three" counts, as she is a Member of Parliament, though an "ordinary person" in that she's a backbencher...
And of course Micky and Jackie. Which is very unusual for Who, in having recurring non-companion characters stuck on Earth when the TARDIS isn't stuck on Earth...
Some other odd and interesting themes: why is it that all his enemies keep on calling the Doctor a coward? It wasn't just the Daleks, or the Dalek in "Dalek", I think there was at least one other occassion... didn't the Nestine consciousness call him a coward too? And of course the thing raised with that is: is one a coward if one choses not to utterly destroy one's enemies?
