It may be partly due to story-survival that the Zoe pairing with Jamie is seen as the classic Second Doctor companion combo, as the majority of extant Second Doctor stories are from the last two years of the run, but it cannot be denied that this trio are fantastic together.  As a girl from the future, Zoe offered a strong contrast to Jamie’s more primitive attributes.  Her intelligence and computer geniusness is not only celebrated but, unusually for a Doctor Who companion, is not forgotten after her opening story.  We often see her bonding with the Doctor over their shared intelligence, just as the Doctor and Jamie bond over their adventurous nature.  Zoe’s best moment: talking a computer into destroying itself.
