Personally I'd suggest that we list non-television stories which the companions appear in, as we are listing those stories. However, the issue with regards to the Peter Cushing films gets more complicated.  Are Ian and Barabara in [[Dr Who and The Daleks]] the same Ian and Barbara as in the series?  If I remember rightly Barbara is refered to as one of Dr Who's grand-daughters.

Susan Foreman
First Story: An Unearthly Child
Last Story: The Dalek Invasion of Earth
Other Stories: The Five Doctors
Actress: Carol Ann Ford

Before getting started on details of the companions, I thought it would be worth getting some ideas from my fellow contributors on how we build this section. My personal preference is to have a table stating first story, last story, and actor/actress name. Something like this.

With a description of the character - how they meet the Doctor etc.

Any thoughts? --Kazzab72 07:51, 29 Mar 2005 (EST)

This touches back on the Canon Policy discussion. If we adopt an all-inclusive or almost-all-inclusive canon policy, should we list other stories besides the television ones in which companions appear? Should the table also include the titles of New/Missing Adventure novels, Decalog short stories, and so on, that the companion appears in? In an article on Susan, for example, should the table also list "Dimensions in Time" under "Other Stories," since she appears in that adventure as well? Also, do we mention that Roberta Tovey played Susan in the Peter Cushing movies, or do we treat that Susan as a completely separate entry, particularly since, - as far as we know, - she never used the last name "Foreman?" (Heck, we're not even sure if that version of Susan had the last name "Who.")--Freethinker1of1 09:27, 29 Mar 2005 (EST)
