	Uh-oh. Some fans are going to want to debate including the UNIT people.

Comment below threshold: show it

	so glad I could get away with just the rank of UNITs leaDER (I'd have needed an extra 5 minutes to type in the whole name!) Happy memories of doctors 3 and 4 (my era!) Doctor 7 got lumbered with a couple of right losers!

	I got 32/38. The frustrating thing was not being able to spell Kamelion properly and not being able to remember Nyssa's name, even though I had been to a convention featuring Sarah Sutton back in the '80s.

	Hal_10000 - Some fans are going to want to debate it, perhaps. But the BBC includes them on their website. I went with anyone that's either on the current BBC list or who was previously listed in a BBC-sanctioned comprehensive list of companions (Hence including Sara Kingdom, despite the fact that the BBC no longer seems to recognize her).

	Nezu Chiza:	Nov 22nd, 2008 at 23:54 GMT	1 point
	The three UNIT people are not Companions. In fact, I was completely stumped on who was possibly missing for those three spots. Also, if you're including one-shot companions, Astrid should be included. She was invited to be a Companion. Great quiz, however! I got all but Sara Kingdom and the three UNIT members.

	Math Chick:	Nov 22nd, 2008 at 23:59 GMT	2 points
	Wonderful quiz. I can't believe I forgot Captain Jack and that despite MANY tries I couldn't spell Adric.

	Nezu Chiza - As I said, the BBC counts the UNIT companions on the website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/companions/ . The comparable list for the new series doesn't include Astrid, so neither did I. The only dodgy one was Adam Mitchell, but as he actually traveled in the TARDIS across more than one episode, I was hard-pressed not to include him.

	Nezu Chiza:	Nov 23rd, 2008 at 00:43 GMT	1 point
	Ah well, the BBC has gone crazy then. I expect those three will easily be the most missed. Thanks for the explanation, I'll just blame the BBC :P

	the brigadier was one of the first ones i guessed :P

	davebesag:	Nov 26th, 2008 at 05:53 GMT	1 point
	Astrid is listed on Wikipedia as a companion but I don't agree with that. I only answered Lethbridge-Stewart as I thought it could be a bonus (perhaps all three UNIT people should be). If you're including the Brig as a companion he appeared with the 2nd Doctor down to the 7th (bar the 6th). Also I read an article about twenty years ago in Dr Who Magazine about companions and Sara Kingdom was indeed listed as one then

	What... no Frobisher? ;)

	Who thinks we should have a Doctor Who monsters quiz, with assorted monsters from more than one episode.

	Ressa:	Apr 21st, 2009 at 06:19 GMT	4 points
	24/38, not bad since I've hardly seen any classic episodes (don't worry, I'm working on it!) I definitely think we need a monsters quiz on here!

	Kohoutek:	May 5th, 2009 at 18:22 GMT	1 point
	I would say that The Brigadier and Sgt Benton belong in this list far more than Grace. As we all know, Paul McGann doesn't count. ;-)

	erinnthered:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 03:26 GMT	1 point
	I put in "Mike" and it wouldn't take it, but it would take the rank? Also, "Sara" wasn't enough for Sara Kingdom, and I couldn't remember her last name. Just that you probably included the "other Sara." Shouldn't the first names of all companions be enough?

	plutogirlgenius:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 23:46 GMT	2 points
	Really fun quiz, but I haven't gotten to watching the old Doctor Who episodes yet. I'm still slowly working on the new ones, but I got all of the people in the new Doctor Who plus Sarah Jane and K-9 because they were in the new episodes.

	Uhlan:	Aug 29th, 2009 at 00:41 GMT	1 point
	We could also have a new series episodes quiz.

	Orhan94:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 14:03 GMT	2 points
	Shouldn't Astrid Peth, Lady Christina De Souza, Jackson Lake, Rosita, Wilfred Mott, Adelaide and arguably Jenny, Jackie Tyler, River Song and Sally Sparrow be bonus answers as while they aren't full companions their recurring or one-off appearance is considered an appearance by a companion.

	shadowscookie:	Oct 28th, 2009 at 19:00 GMT	1 point
	Agree with orhan94. They should also be included. :D Yay for including the Captain! I need to watch more of the old Doctor Who though.

	Have so many problems with a list of Doctor Who 'companions'! Mainly because there are no defined rules as to what makes a companion. Someone who travels on the TARDIS? Well Liz Shaw never does but she has more to do with the Doc than most of Tennant's assorted friends! I could go on (Grace, Sara Kingdom, the Brig, Jackson, Charley Pollard...) I shall stop now ha ha!
