Time-Flight ended with Tegan being accidentally left behind ending season 19 in 1982 even though Janet Fielding was already contracted to appear in the next season in 1983.
I find this similar to what happened with the current TV series in which Martha is no longer travelling with the Doctor at the end of the 2007 season but does come back for the 2008 season even though the initial departures of Tegan and Martha were under different circumstances.
Before coming back to Doctor Who for 2008, Martha appeared in spin-off Torchwood.
I can only speculate had the one-off K-9 and Company shown in 1981 had become a series, would Janet Fielding as Tegan had appeared in that spin-off before appearing again in the parent show. |
