Other Appearances
Dodo's life prior to joining the Doctor- and the circumstances under which she joined him in the TARDIS- were elaborated on in the Past Doctor Adventures novel Salvation, where the TARDIS, departing after she has entered it, travels to New York in Dodo's present- moving only in space rather than time-, resulting in Dodo working with the Doctor and Steven to investigate mysterious beings who appear to be gods.
Dodo's life after she left the Doctor was not dealt with in the programme. The spin-off novel Who Killed Kennedy by David Bishop reveals that Dodo suffered a nervous breakdown and was unable to remember her adventures with the Doctor, drifting in and out of psychiatric institutions. Becoming involved with a journalist who was investigating the truth behind UNIT, Dodo is murdered by a pawn of the Master. Her funeral is attended only by her lover and an unidentified man who- based on the limited description provided- may be either the Second or Seventh Doctor.
The canonicity of the novels in relation to the television series is open to question.

Famous quotes containing the word appearances:
“We often think ourselves inconsistent creatures, when we are the furthest from it, and all the variety of shapes and contradictory appearances we put on, are in truth but so many different attempts to gratify the same governing appetite.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.”
—Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
