A publicity image for Robot (1975) with Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith and Tom Baker as the Doctor, sitting on the Doctor's Roadster, Bessie. This would be the last regular story to feature Bessie until 1989's Battlefield.

A quick question regarding Bessie. As Susan will be quick to point out Bessie featured in The Five Doctors and was last seen on Gallifrey in the Death Zone.

Given that the Doctors and companions left Gallifrey via separate TARDIS at the end of the story, how did Bessie get home?

She was returned to Earth by Rassilon of course, and the Brigadier (who realized that the Doctor's visits to Earth were becoming more and more infrequent) had her 'put into mothballs'!

Incidentally, in the 2012 comic strip 'What He Wants...', the Doctor hooked Bessie up to the TARDIS matrix, because he wanted to 'pimp my ride', and she transformed into a monster truck!
