One of the many versions of [[Clara Oswald]] created after she entered the Doctor's [[time stream]] saw the Third Doctor driving in Bessie. She called out to him, but he didn't hear her. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'')

With his waning interest in affairs at UNIT and Earth, the [[Fourth Doctor]] soon lost interest in Bessie, though he did have use for her on several Earthbound adventures with [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Death Flower (comic story)|Death Flower]]'', ''[[Counter-Rotation (comic story)|Counter-Rotation]]'', ''[[Mind Snatch (comic story)|Mind Snatch]]'', and others). He also used Bessie after Sarah was no longer travelling with him, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fire Feeders (comic story)|The Fire Feeders]]'') and even when [[Leela]] had joined him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Devil's Mouth (comic story)|The Devil's Mouth]]'') He also used it when travelling with [[Young (The Sea Devil)|Miss Young]] ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Sea Devil (comic story)|The Sea Devil]]'') and, according to one account, whilst with [[Joan Brown]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doomcloud (comic story)|Doomcloud]]'')

It was unclear what happened to Bessie after this early period of the Fourth Doctor's life. According to one account, it was simply in storage aboard [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], seen there as late as the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s travels with [[Frobisher]] and [[Peri Brown|Peri]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Changes (comic story)|Changes]]'') Another account had it that [[the Brigadier]] had it "put into mothballs" at some point, having realised that the Doctor's visits to Earth were becoming more and more infrequent. It was brought out briefly in [[1997]] as the Brigadier and UNIT worked with the Doctor's [[Seventh Doctor|seventh incarnation]] to battle [[Morgaine]]; it was briefly criticised by [[Ace]], until the Doctor demonstrated its capabilities. ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'').
