Katarina qualifies as a companion, as she was a person who travelled
on the TARDIS as a friend of the Doctor's, regardless for how long
a time, with the intention of continuing on to later journeys and
adventures.  (Hence, Sarah Kingdom qualifies, whereas the Master
doesn't (he fails point one), and the BA crew in Timeflight doesn't
(they fail point two).  I make an exception for UNIT, as that
organization should qualify for an equal status with the companions,
although they almost never travelled.
