How can anyone not have mentioned the all-time top Doctor, Doctor #4! (AKA Tom Baker)

Sara Kingdom.

One of the first doctor’s companions, but unique because

1. She is the only companion to appear in only one story\*. I’m actually not sure why the consider her a companion and not a guest star.
2. She is the only one to be better known (in the US and probably in the UK) for another role: Rose in “Upstairs Downstairs” (She was played by Jean Marsh.)

\*Technically, I suppose you could argue the Romana I was in one story, but that’s just because her one season had a single overarching storyline.
