How To Be A Companion (short story)

 was the first prose feature in It's Bigger on the Inside!. It was presented as a false production document.

Worldbuilding

 * Jamie is noted to be "either a Yorkshire farmer or maybe a Scottish Highlander from the Jacobite Rebellion, depending on what the costumes department has going spare".
 * Jo Grant is defined as a "new type of companion" by the fact that whenever she sees a Dalek, she not only screams but takes her clothes off.
