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)

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!

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]]
