So many companions have jumped at the opportunity of travelling with
the Doctor, yet they have not stopped to fully weigh up the benefits against
the risks of their venture - so I have done it for them!
| GOOD POINTS | BAD POINTS |
| 1 | No school or job. | Huge life insurance rates. |
| 2 | 90% more effective than Blind Date. | Amorous and/or ugly aliens wishing to marry you. |
| 3 | Escape from inconvenient situations, i.e. world being taken over, large telephone bills, etc. | Large amounts of running away from inconvenient situations, screaming and ankle twisting involved. |
| 4 | Make hundreds of very brief acquaintances and friends. | Frequent traps set by enemies whose life-spans are usually longer than that of your brief acquaintances. |
| 5 | Save the Universe! | No accident compensation. |
| 6 | Exercise for vocal cords. | Possibility of being betrayed by your brief acquaintances. |
| 7 | Cheap accommodation. | Chance of being stranded on strange planets or time zones. |
| 8 | The TARDIS wardrobe. | The Doctor's dress sense. |
Now, is it truly worth it to be the Doctor's assistant? Vworp! Vworp!
