For the purposes of this quiz, a companion is any individual who helped the Doctor in one or more (usually-consecutive) stories. It includes all people who travelled in the TARDIS between stories (not just as part of a single adventure), as well as all the recurring members of the UNIT organisation. It also includes the “guest” companions appearing in Specials between 2007 and 2009. It does not, however, include any incarnation of the Master, even though the one known as “Missy” would otherwise qualify by dint of Series 10.

I just watched the Savages the other day. Still didn't get it. Duh!

I will admit I generated the stories (pseudorandomly) first, and then engineered the questions to fit them. That one was by far the hardest to make work, hence the rather-odd approach method.

Glad you enjoyed the quiz!

Well, it was very nice to have one of the '60s ones as they are often forgotten, and I thought the approach was quite nice actually. I did get up to the last question there, but I just couldn't make my brain work for the final step - and my fingers were tired from typing out "The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve" three times in a row.

I seem to be the only person playing this quiz... third comment! Why doesn't City of Death work in the third box of the first category? On Earth, and Romana the only companion... or have I missed something?

Apparently so, even after I spotlit it!

Re City of Death: K-9 is still mentioned as being present in the TARDIS even if he doesn’t actually have a physical appearance at any point. It’s debatable, but I stuck to the system that that counts as two companions being in the story the same way as Kamelion counts for every story between his two actual appearances.

Oh, I see... fair enough... yes, debatable but you've got to choose one way or the other. I wasn't going to get the answer anyway so I can't complain!
