- ↑ Under some fan accounts, Marsh is not strictly a 'companion' actor as she only appears in one story. She is traditionally included, however, because the character does travel in the TARDIS for several episodes at a time when serials had episodic but no overall story title given on-screen.
- ↑ Hill and Marsh's final story.

- ↑ Tamm's final story.
- ↑ Romana 'regenerates' at the beginning of this story.
- ↑ Unfinished and unbroadcast due to a BBC strike.
- ↑ Final story of Ward and Leeson; Leeson would return to voice K-9 (mark III) in the 1981 spin-off K-9 and Company; in the 1983 anniversary special The Five Doctors; in the new series beginning with 2005's School Reunion (mark III and mark IV); and in The Sarah Jane Adventures, beginning in 2007.

- ↑ Aldred's final story.
- ↑ Sylvester McCoy appears in the early scenes as the Doctor.
- ↑ Langley's final story.
- ↑ Barrowman's final story, though he would return to the series in The Sound of Drums and later episodes; he also starred as Captain Jack in the spin-off series Torchwood.
- ↑ Clarke appeared in several episodes beginning with 2005's Rose, but strictly speaking is not a 'companion' until School Reunion because only in that story does he first travel with the Doctor in the TARDIS.
- ↑ Clarke's final story as a companion, though he would return in several later episodes, beginning with Army of Ghosts.
- ↑ Piper's final story, though she would return later in the series, beginning with a cameo in Partners in Crime.
- ↑ Tate does not appear again until Partners in Crime, but is credited alongside Tennant at the beginning of this story and occupies the role of the companion in this story, so her tenure is generally considered to begin here.
- ↑ Agyeman's final story, though she would return later beginning with The Sontaran Strategem, and also in Torchwood.
- ↑ Catherine Tate returns as Donna Noble for the entire fourth series.
