I don't see how going to the [[Tomb of Rassilon|tower]] with the [[First Doctor]] makes her his companion. You cited 2/Brigadier and 3/Sarah as what I assume you're suggesting, BananaClownMan, are precedents, but the Brig already has a continued association with the [[Second Doctor]], both through other stories ([[TV]]: ''[[The Web of Fear (TV story)|The Web of Fear]]'', ''[[The Invasion (TV story)|The Invasion]]'', ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'') and through ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' itself. I personally wouldn't say this is reason enough to constitute companionship, but it's a much better case than for Tegan. Sarah, on the other hand, is already a Third Doctor companion regardless of her ''Five Doctors'' appearance, so I'm sure that's irrelevant.

Her father's name
William Jovanka? Where does it come from? Prudence Halliwell ☎ 16:57, May 21, 2014 (UTC)
- As stated in the article, it comes from the novel Divided Loyalties. Shambala108 ☎ 17:05, May 21, 2014 (UTC)
we may need to add more information about the indivudal episodes that she was in? I think that added more to this character's character arc than it would for other Doctor WHo characters. thanks!! --Sm8900 ☎ 23:13, February 10, 2020 (UTC)
First Doctor companion?
I don't see how going to the tower with the First Doctor makes her his companion. You cited 2/Brigadier and 3/Sarah as what I assume you're suggesting, BananaClownMan, are precedents, but the Brig already has a continued association with the Second Doctor, both through other stories (TV: The Web of Fear, The Invasion, The Three Doctors) and through The Five Doctors itself. I personally wouldn't say this is reason enough to constitute companionship, but it's a much better case than for Tegan. Sarah, on the other hand, is already a Third Doctor companion regardless of her Five Doctors appearance, so I'm sure that's irrelevant. Danochy ☎ 11:57, May 17, 2020 (UTC)
