Doctor Who Recurring Characters

All recurring Doctor Who characters, defining recurring as 'having appeared in more than 1 story of Doctor Who (2005+)' - so, not characters who appear in just a single 2-parter. Also, characters who recur only exclusively by reusing old footage don't count. "Utopia", "The Sound Of Drums" and "Last Of The Timelords" (Series 3), as well as "Extremis", "The Pyramid At The End Of The World" and "The Lie Of The Land" (Series 10) are being considered 3-parters and therefore single stories. Doctor Who: Flux (Series 13) is being treated as 6 distinct stories. The episodes of their first and last appearances and the number of their appearances (episodes, not stories) are included. Appearance numbers with '+' acknowledge that the character has also appeared in spin-offs (specifically Torchwood, SJA or Class). The answers are in order of first appearance. Main companions are highlighted green.
Characters from Series 1 (2005) to the Series 13 specials (2022)
Only characters with multiple appearances over different stories
Not taking into account mini-episodes, series prequels, or spin-offs, etc.
Actively excluding: Santa Claus, The Priest Triangle, Passenger, Ritskaw, Kragar, unnamed recurring newsreaders, unnamed Division Ood
