    Nyssa's the only one I can think of who brought her own stuff.


    From Traken via the Watcher?


    I imagine the Watcher turning up, and Nyssa saying that she's happy to
    go with him but just needs to pack a few things first... and the Watcher stands there like "WTF? This has never happened before," but his face
    glows so Nyssa can't tell.

    Leela did use her regular stuff.

    But she only had one outfit, didn't she? I recall her wearing the same leather minidress all the time.

    Have you seen The Talons of Weng Chiang and The Horror of Fang Rock?

    Yes, but wasn't she back in her own minidress after the need for period costumes had passed?

    I liked Leela a lot as a kid, because she wasn't helpless.

    She had different versions of here minidress. One in brown, one in
    beige, must have been others... What did she have on in The Image of
    Fendahl?

    I'm pretty sure they just used the TARDIS wardrobe as needed. We saw
    Romana browsing it at one point.
