From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
divide up some entries?
today I had a thought. a few companions, like Bernice Summerfield, Sarah Jane Smith, and Captain Jack, have effectively two careers, one as sidekicks of the Doctor, the others pretty much solo. I wondered what you all thought about dividing their lists into Companion and Solo sections. episodes like "School Reunion" would still go under Solo.
I can only think of one problem here... at least one Bernice Summerfield release, Genius Loci, takes place before she ever met the Doctor. in the case of the other characters, it seems pretty clear cut. what do you all think? --***Stardizzy*** 00:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- I don't really see the need. There's nothing wrong with the lists as they are, and if you suggest splitting them up you may as well split the TV series from the novels. As for companion/solo, as far as I'm aware the only episode in which a previous companion doesn't class as one (although there're probably more in the novels, but I don't read them) is SJS in School Reunion (however there were several episodes with Mickey Smith before he became a companion, that probably counts). In other, non-DW series, they're not going to be any current companions, as they don't feature the Doctor anyway. In my opinion, you should just have little notes against the serials/episodes in DW/MA/NA/BFA/etc in which any companions (at any point) were not companions of the Doctor.
