Mike Yates[[edit source]]

The announcements and media coverage for Hornets' Nest all describe Yates as the Fourth Doctor's companion, so I think adding him to the list is justified. 23skidoo 05:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

K9 Mark III[[edit source]]

Prior to switchover to new format, template maintained that K9 Mark III was a prose companion of the Fourth Doctor. What's the source of this?

Singles[[edit source]]

There should be a "Single-adventure" slot for Spandrell, Engin, Henry Gordon Jago, George Litefoot, Tegan Jovanka and Nyssa.Tirenifs talk to me 12:13, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Plus, Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and John Benton should be added due to Robot, Terror of the Zygons and The Android Invasion.Tirenifs talk to me 12:13, February 13, 2012 (UTC)


Benton[[edit source]]

I think Benton should be included in the television section. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fireball99 (talk • contribs) .

Potential Additions[[edit source]]

Milena from Milena is overtly reffered to as a companion in her story, despite her brief tenure. Meanwhile, Miss Young from The Sea Devil also only has one appearance, but clearly serves the role of the companion -- with clear indication that the two have been having adventures for some time and that afterwards that it's back to the TARDIS!

Joan Brown[[edit source]]

Shouldn't Joan Brown be in the "original to comics" part? -- Saxon 15:41, January 9, 2019 (UTC)

Companion's from The Drosten's Curse[[edit source]]

The Fourth Doctor novel The Drosten's Curse features two characters who serve as companions: Bryony Mailer (whose page was recently created and reminded me of this) and Putta Pattershaun 5 (who as of this writing does not have a page, though I can create one). Seeing as other companion templates do include one-off companions, should they be added to this one? Chubby Potato 02:06, April 26, 2020 (UTC)

Proposed updates[[edit source]]


I think Ian Patterson should be referred to as his true name Putta Pattershaun 5, as he only uses the alias for a very short period of time, probably less than a tenth of the story, and is thereafter called Putta. So here's what that looks like if it is updated:
