: Found it. It's from ''[[Cindy, Cleo and the Magic Sketchbook (comic story)|Cindy, Cleo and the Magic Sketchbook]]''. {{quote|He has helpers - companions, friends. I know there have been many others before me. I found some sketchbooks - mostly drawings of landscapes - underneath some potted plants in the arboretum. They were singed by someone called Turlough. He doesn't talk about them too much, although he's absent-mindedly called me "Donna" a couple of times. I think Donna is my immediate predecessor. He keeps talking about going to see someone called Sarah - he says I'd like her, she's a writer.|Excerpt from [[Gabby Gonzalez]]'s sketchbook}} | : Found it.

And it's even less conclusive. First of all, it's just Gabby's guess based on whose name is mentioned more often. Secondly, a "predecessor" is such a vague term: is it the last travelling companion? the last female travelling companion? the last human from 21st century Earth female companion?

And here's a quote from the "Previously" segment of Issue 1: | |||
{{quote|...but the universe can also be a dark and dangerous place - as the Doctor's most recent companion, Donna Noble, found to her cost. Forced to leave her behind, the Doctor has since been wandering alone. But no matter how far he travels, or how long, something always brings him back to Earth.|Semi-in-universe narration from Issue 1 of the story}} | |||
Again, the way I read it, he is "wandering" alone, which does not preclude him from having one-off adventures. Indeed, we know from the interview that he at least already had adventures with Jackson Lake and Christina de Souza. So such adventures still qualify as him traveling alone. As I said above, he wasn't really traveling with anyone at any time between Season 4 and Season 5, before meeting Gabby.
