Template talk:Companions of the Fourth Doctor

Mike Yates
The announcements and media coverage for Hornets' Nest all describe Yates as the Fourth Doctor's companion, so I think adding him to the list is justified. 23skidoo 05:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

K9 Mark III
Prior to switchover to new format, template maintained that K9 Mark III was a prose companion of the Fourth Doctor. What's the source of this? 18:58:38 Thu 24 Mar 2011

Singles
There should be a "Single-adventure" slot for Spandrell, Engin, Henry Gordon Jago, George Litefoot, Tegan Jovanka and Nyssa.Tirenifs talk to me 12:13, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Plus, Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and John Benton should be added due to Robot, Terror of the Zygons and The Android Invasion.Tirenifs talk to me 12:13, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Benton
I think Benton should be included in the television section.

Potential Additions
Milena from Milena is overtly reffered to as a companion in her story, despite her brief tenure. Meanwhile, Miss Young from The Sea Devil also only has one appearance, but clearly serves the role of the companion -- with clear indication that the two have been having adventures for some time and that afterwards that it's back to the TARDIS!

Joan Brown
Shouldn't Joan Brown be in the "original to comics" part? -- Saxon 15:41, January 9, 2019 (UTC)

Companion's from The Drosten's Curse
The Fourth Doctor novel The Drosten's Curse features two characters who serve as companions: Bryony Mailer (whose page was recently created and reminded me of this) and Putta Pattershaun 5 (who as of this writing does not have a page, though I can create one). Seeing as other companion templates do include one-off companions, should they be added to this one? Chubby Potato ☎  02:06, April 26, 2020 (UTC)

Proposed updates

 * I think Ian Patterson should be referred to as his true name Putta Pattershaun 5, as he only uses the alias for a very short period of time, probably less than a tenth of the story, and is thereafter called Putta. So here's what that looks like if it is updated:
