* In ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', [[Robot Buddy]] K-9 is introduced in "The Invisible Enemy", then promptly breaks down for the duration of "The Image of the Fendahl", whose script was written before K-9 was added to the cast.
** Also, [[Robot Buddy]] Kamelion is introduced in "The King's Demons" and then disappears for almost an entire season, reappearing only [[Back for The Dead|in order to be written out.]] This was because the complicated and expensive Kamelion prop actually did break down, and [[Real Life Writes the Plot|the only person who knew how it worked had died]].
*** Script editor Eric Saward said in an interview in ''Doctor Who Magazine'' that Mike Powers' death wasn't the cause of Kameleon getting sidelined. The robot prop hadn't worked right from the beginning, and the character had been created based on the operators' exaggerated claims of its capabilities. Powers' death provided an easy explanation that didn't lay blame on anyone.
* Happened quite a bit in ''[[Code Name Eternity (TV)|Code Name Eternity]]'' due to the episodes being aired out of order. The two main characters meet a sidekick early in the season, followed by a replacement sidekick in what should have been about halfway through the season; but instead, the sidekicks seem to appear and disappear at random.
