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

Comment below threshold: show it

	Bethannie:	Nov 22nd, 2008 at 11:36 GMT		0 points
	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!

	DLJessup:	Nov 22nd, 2008 at 14:03 GMT		5 points
	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 19:54 GMT		7 points
	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 19:59 GMT		1 point
	Wonderful quiz. I can't believe I forgot Captain Jack and that despite MANY tries I couldn't spell Adric.

	PhilSandifer:	Nov 22nd, 2008 at 20:13 GMT		5 points
	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 22nd, 2008 at 20:43 GMT		0 points
	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

	jessek:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 00:01 GMT		1 point
	the brigadier was one of the first ones i guessed :P

	davebesag:	Nov 26th, 2008 at 01:53 GMT		3 points
	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? ;)

	Uhlan:	Feb 1st, 2009 at 13:17 GMT		14 points
	Who thinks we should have a Doctor Who monsters quiz, with assorted monsters from more than one episode.

	Ressa:	Apr 21st, 2009 at 02:19 GMT		6 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!

	erinnthered:	Jul 5th, 2009 at 23:26 GMT		2 points
	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 19:46 GMT		0 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 28th, 2009 at 20:41 GMT		0 points
	We could also have a new series episodes quiz.

	Orhan94:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 10:03 GMT		6 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 15:00 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.

	Epicurean:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 17:24 GMT		3 points
	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!

	Bethanie: "Doctor 7 got lumbered with a couple of right losers" Scuse me, but Ace was delicious when I was 15. :D

	"Who thinks we should have a Doctor Who monsters quiz, with assorted monsters from more than one episode." Hey, I made one for all the Aliens, which is close enough. In shameless self-promotion, here it is: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Dgym/DoctorWhoAliens

	joelk:	Mar 19th, 2010 at 19:29 GMT		1 point
	Only one I had trouble with was Katarina... I was thinking, "some girl with a K name that sacrificed herself to save the Doc in an episode hardly anyone has ever seen..." Kara? Katrina? I guess if Sara Kingdom and Adam count, then it's legitimate.

	Jprince:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 06:55 GMT		1 point
	what about Wilfred?? if ur gonna count adam u have to count Wilfred

	Jprince:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 16:09 GMT		2 points
	also River Song

	ragnarok42007:	Apr 5th, 2010 at 06:03 GMT		2 points
	Darn. Forgot about Dodo . . . although that's probably with good reason.

	Now time to add Amy Pond! Also Rory (don't know his surname) is going to join them, River Song possibly becomes a proper companion too.

	Scurra:	Apr 21st, 2010 at 22:51 GMT		0 points
	Spent ages trying "Benson" before I finally remembered it was "Benton"... But yeah, we definitely need Amy now. And Wilfred and Astrid ought to qualify if Sara Kingdom does. And, of course, then there's Bernice Summerfield, Frobisher, Charley Pollard, Fitz etc etc... :-)

	Hamlet:	Aug 1st, 2010 at 13:28 GMT		-4 points
	Sare Kingdom should not be listed as a companion. She is only in one story. If she is included, then every person who travels in the TARDIS in one story only should be included, such as Duggan in "City of Death." As well Kamelian is not a companion, he was more like a prisoner on the TARDIS. Another suggestion, if the companions from the novels are going to be excluded, perhaps this should be mentioned in the instructions? Thank you.

	tardis:	Sep 6th, 2010 at 20:36 GMT		3 points
	If you know enough to get all (or most) the answers, then it's not difficult to discern what counts and what doesn't (i.e. only TV appearances, and the "canon" list, which includes Sara Kingdom). Get over it.

	camz100:	Sep 6th, 2010 at 23:22 GMT		7 points
	Duggan deserves to be a companion, if only for his ability to knock down walls. ;)

	daHOOK:	Oct 30th, 2010 at 17:07 GMT		1 point
	The Terrestrial Index lists UNIT personnel as guest stars rather than companions. And Lethbridge-Stewart was a Colonel when the Second Doctor first met him.

	crdimitri:	Jan 19th, 2011 at 00:01 GMT		5 points
	Time for an update. Need Amy and Rory.

	tvfan3:	May 1st, 2011 at 15:23 GMT		2 points
	Should update to include the Ponds and maybe River Song

	bouncelot:	Aug 13th, 2011 at 04:02 GMT		2 points
	Surely Sarah should work for Sarah Jane Smith. It's only in the New Series and Sarah Jane Adventures that she starts preferring to use Sarah Jane.

	rcirani:	Aug 19th, 2011 at 21:41 GMT		0 points
	It's obviously a can of worms, but loads of those shouldn't really count as a companion. Sara Kingdom is no more a companion than Sabetha. Adam, Kamelion, Jack, the UNIT crew, even Grace. I just see them as acquiantances rather than companions.

	PhilSandifer:	Aug 20th, 2011 at 23:30 GMT		2 points
	Since I haven't answered that in a year or two, I used the official BBC list of companions here, if I recall, though I may have added one or two who have appeared in other officially published lists. :)
