* Although the Doctor has had invitations to join him turned down by potential companions in the past ([[Grace Holloway]] in [[Doctor Who (1996)|the 1996 TV movie]] and, initially, [[Donna Noble]] in ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'', for example), this is one of the only occasions in which the Doctor has outright refused to take on a companion of his own volition, despite clear indications of compatibility.
