out of curiosity, does anyone else consider the Brigadier to be a companion?
#rambles#doctor who#classic doctor who#brigadier lethbridge stewart#do i make this a poll?#idk how to make a poll and at this point im too afraid to ask#i've always considered him one#but not a traditional companion ig#he never travels in the tardis whilst working at UNIT - but neither does Liz and she's defo a companion#sara kingdom is a companion yet she only appeared in one story so being a companion isnt to do with the number of episodes#he's always there to help the Doctor and aid him (and further the plot with questions or arguing)#but he kinda does his own thing and doesn't always follow the doctor blindly like some companions do#he's not an audience stand-in like some companions - he's an authority figure and someone who's meant to clash with the doctor#but idk - i guess it's brig's willingness to help/aid the doctor and the two's bond and the amount of screen time brig has that all adds up#to him being a companion in my mind#in some dr who books he's listed as a companion#other times he isnt#(and is often his own thing - or labelled a recurring character)#im just really curious to see what others think
