Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.
- You may be looking for Companions, a Virgin book by David J. Howe and Mark Stammer.
The Companions (reference book) was a book about companions written by John Nathan-Turner while he was still producer of Doctor Who.
Publisher's summary
It used to be claimed that there were just two requirements to be a 'companion' in Doctor Who. The first was to be able to scream and run at the same time. The second was to be able to say "What do we do next, Doctor?" with conviction!
Following his highly successful book on the six Doctors, Doctor Who: The TARDIS Inside Out, John Nathan-Turner examines the Doctor's companions. Thirty companions are mentioned, and fifteen are discussed in some depth. The text is complemented by Stuart Hughes' beautiful full-colour and black and white illustrations.
Subject matter
- John Nathan-Turner examines and details many of the companions up to 'the new companion' Melanie with several behind the scenes comments.
