Why isn't the Brigadier marked as a companion for this story? Sir Hat-a-lot 14:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

well there's two debates in one here. Is the Brigadier a companion at all, and does a character who was a companion automatically become one every time they appear.
For the former, I would say that he was one (he is listed as uch on the BBC website) - for the latter, I would say not in all cases - and I think this would be one of the cases where it doesn't work, as he acts as a returning star rather than a companion here. But I don't mind either way, so If others agree to add him here, then I'll go with that. Jack's the man - 15:14, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Looking at the PASB, he's not listed amongst the extras and walk ons, unless he went by another name. Wikipedia only have IMDB as a reference, and personally I wouldn't trust it.165.225.76.55talk to me 15:40, November 23, 2018 (UTC)

Arthurian Legends[[edit source]]

Someone has taken out the previous note I had made on this. Ancelyn is another name for Lancelot. Winifred is another name for Guinevere.165.225.76.55talk to me 10:24, November 26, 2018 (UTC)

I've just seen that someone took it out because they thought it was speculation. It is not speculation. For example, check this Wikipedia article. [1]
