b'Our year of companions kicks off in delightful style! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we discuss those Doctor Who characters who were almost companions--those who were slated to become TARDIS travelers but never did, as well as those who we wish had stuck around. Deb accidentally invents a new word*. Kat is thoroughly predictable. Erika unabashedly cheats. And Tansy has a list! Which guest stars do you wish had become full-time companions? Let us know in the comments! *comfanion, noun; a Doctor Who character not generally considered a companion of the Doctor, but whom a viewer loves so much, they think should have been. The viewer may even argue against popular opinion, claiming their favorite *is* a companion. (Examples: "Bret Vyon is my favorite companion." "He was only in one story! He\'s a comfanion, at best." -- "Sally Sparrow is my favorite comfanion. I wish the Doctor would\'ve invited her onto the TARDIS.") ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Erika appreciates\\xa0Paul Cornell\'s 11th Blog of Christmas!
