Adric suffered the most- he bloody died. Mind you Peri suffered a lot- those costumes barely held her in.
Are you experienced? The Doctor Who assistants that SUFFERED the most
There is a range of events the Doctor’s companions can expect to encounter, from meeting his most arch of enemies to being flung bodily through time and space, and undergoing various forms of attack. One might presume the more adventures they have, the more of these experiences they’ll gain, so the radius of the slices …

What about Captain Jack? I think he's died more times than anyone, not to mention spending a few hundred years buried 'alive', being blown apart by a bomb in his stomach and painfully regrowing his body.
They should add an extra slice to that chart 'Traveled through time while clinging to the outside of the TARDIS'

Adric suffered the most- he bloody died
I was at boarding school when this happened and Dr Who was part of Saturday afternoon routine. Remember that when he died (crashed Cybership into earth with side-effect of causing extinction of dinosaurs!) they ran the closing credits with no music for added effect ... didn't work though since as soon as we realized Adric was no more we all cheered!
Mind you Peri suffered a lot- those costumes barely held her in
Well past my schooldays ... must explain why I have no recollection of her/her costumes!

Re: I want closure!
She eventually got back to contemporary times and started a charity called "A Charitable Earth"
This was revealed at the end of one of the Sarah Jane episodes, "Death of the Doctor" - notable not only for the Doctor's appearance, but also the return of Jo Grant.
Other revelations from that episode:
Barbara and Ian resumed their jobs, and later became educators at Cambridge U, but strangely haven't aged in nearly 50 years.
Tegan became a spokesperson for aboriginal rights in Australia.
Ben and Polly got married and run a home for orphaned children.
Harry is no longer alive, but played key roles in medical research.
And, of course, Jo is still married and traveling the world with some of her family for various environmental causes. :)

Re: There's a difference
Because there were too many timey-wimey things happening at at that point in time in NY and even sending a telegram there to change history after they found out the date of their death by looking at the gravestones thus making it a fixed event in the present could push the universe over the edge.
No, I didn't believe it either.

Re: There's a difference
I think it was more the bit where if he had read it in the book then it had to happen than the getting into NY trouble, as per the stuff with River's wrist. The book said "final farewell".
So, yeah, convoluted plot contrivances concerned with arm waving and brief mentions of causality.

So, skip forward to 1940. And the date on a gravestone says nothing about when a time traveller died any more than it tells you who, if anyone, is in the grave.
Total shite writing. Moffat persists in the notion that a program about a time traveller is all about time travel in the same way that travel programs are presumably supposed to be all about airports. Which is all the worse when he makes plotting blunders the size of the ones in Angels Take Manhatten which has to be the worst Dr Who ever recorded.

I love it that...
Elisabeth Sladen seems to have 'full house'!
Her biography is lovely, with a nice foreword from Tennant.
Also her description of how the SJ Adventures came about...
In other news, there's a plaque to Terry Nation being unveiled in Llandaff, Cardiff next week. 12:00, Wed 20th Nov.
Can't wait until the 23rd!

What about the TARDIS (Possible spoilers if you have been living in a cave several years)
Surely the old girl has suffered more than any assistant, she's been blown up at every point in the universe, dropped into the middle of a planet, kicked out of her body, stolen by almost every enemy known to the doctor, painted pink by the Happiness Patrol, shoved though a CVE into N-space, thrown into a core of Z-Neutrino energy with no shielding, crashed into by a replica of the Titanic,, dropped off several cliffs, crashed into the Pond's back garden. and continually flown by someone who leaves the hand-brake on. Surely she deserves a mention for all that :)

Rose inaccuracies
When Rose was controlled by Cassandra she was basically being Mind Controlled.
AND while not in your chart
Rose looked into the heart of the Tardis and controlled it's power.
Rose made 1 man almost immortal.
Rose (and Mickey) travelled to another dimension.
Rose saved the world.
You should also really add a category for:
witnessed a regeneration.
Piloted the Tardis
Used a Sonic Screwdriver
Saved the Doctor's life
