}}'''''Thinktwice''''' was a [[Tenth Doctor comic stories|Tenth Doctor comic strip story]] in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' that returned [[Vessica]]n [[Majenta Pryce]] to the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s life. It was significant for making Pryce a regular character in the pages of ''DWM''. For the first time since the use of [[Destrii]] in ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]'' — which is to say, for the first time since the beginning of the [[BBC Wales]] series — ''Thinktwice'' gave ''DWM'' a regular [[companion]] created by their staff, rather than one seen on television. It also included references to several of these past "exclusive" companions. Thinktwice also began a loose story arc to which Pryce's introductory story, ''[[Hotel Historia]]'', was retroactively connected.

Because the story featured the return of a one-off companion, it was possible to compare it to the televised story, ''[[Partners in Crime (TV story)|Partners in Crime]]''.

* One of Majenta's ground rules between her and the Doctor is "no [[Sex|hanky panky]]", a sly reference to the "no hanky-panky in the TARDIS" rule that was set by [[John Nathan-Turner]] after the casting of [[Peter Davison]] as the [[Fifth Doctor]], to prevent implications of the Doctor having inappropriate relations with his companions.{{source}}
