Foo - ? who is your favorit Dr.Who companion ?

I am going to have to go with Leela I think http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i161/emmapeelpants/d4-4q-011.jpg then Rose, I loved Romana 1 but hated the E space episoads, would you consider K-9 a companion

Nice knife.

Rose
Sarah Jane
Capt. Jack
Martha
K-9
His daughter
Donna Nobel
Lady Christina de Souza (Planet of the Dead)

Jack goes to the top of the list but I think of him in Torchwood more than Dr.Who, It is cool that Jack is the face of Bo, The entire character that is Jack is fascinating.

Christine Cachanski, Cat, Kryten, Rimmer.

Red Dwarf was a great show too but we are talking Dr Who here.

The first Romana (Mary Tamm) stood out to me as one of the best assistants he had.

She was the only companion that was also a Timelord

What??? That was Red Dwarf??? Those brownies were way better than I thought. Cool.

Well, I always had a soft spot for Daleks - even got a model of one.

It had to be Peri. She studdered every other word, but I'm willing to forgive.

I think Sarah Jane and if you can class as a companion Captain Jack

Romana II.

The current Dr. is a limp-wristed shirt lifter.

Tom Baker will always be my favorite Dr But David Tennant did grow on me & Dona Nobal was obnoxious

Never having watched more than a few short minutes of said show, I am unable to respond intelligently to your query.

It's a cult thing, I have been watching it since the 60s

Don't let that stop you.

Other faves:
K-9
Ace
Leela
Adric (because he was such a dork always bragging about his math award)
Captain Jack

I liked David Tennant better. In fact, I think I'd say he took my fave doctor position away from Sylvester McCoy.


I found Donna annoying at first, but Donna grew on me.

Don't let that stop you.

never has before, why start now, right?

Rose and then Jack.

I'm too young to know the old ones, and out of the new ones it's got to be Rose for me. Apart from her being awsome, I think in general the epoisodes she was in were better as well.

never has before, why start now, right?

Well you said it...
Here I'll help you out. Tell everyone your favorite is Mel. You'll score huge points with the Dr. Who fans.

Apparently my favorite is Mel.

Took a while for me to like Catharine Tate too, but by the time she left I was sorry to see her go.

Same here. I was hoping she'd do a second season at least.

I have to say...Martha is the only one I was "happy" to see go in the new series. She just didn't click with me at all and I got totally sick of her constant pining after the doctor.

Apparently my favorite is Mel.

Mel...are you freakin' kidding me!! She was the worst companion ever! Unbelieveable!

(You fell into my clever trap...you may call me The Master...bwaaaahahahahahahahaahaa)

Now we can have an equally geeky debate on who was the best Master.

Martha won me over in the "Sound of the Drums" arc.

John Simm, hands down.

dr who sucks

Only a limey would stay that........Now get out of the Dr. Who thread, no limeys allowed.

Here's an interesting link to someone's top 10 Dr Who assistants. Its not complete obviously but it does include video's.

Interesting list. It kind of makes me a little sick that Martha beat out Rose in order. :mad:

I was surprised to see Turlough make the list and surprised that Tegan didn't make the list.

So you are saying that you Master Baited?

I'm OK with that statement!!! :thumb:

I will say I did feel bad for Donna Nobel in the end when the Dr had to take away all her memories

However, I thought I saw a clip of upcoming special that showed her. I can't swear to it...but a clip at the end of "water of mars" I thought showed her.

Yes, it's just one guy's top ten not mine but the video's where good.

I've heard rumors that Romana may be coming back too.

I'll check them out when I get home (most videos are blocked here at work).

Too bad Dr. Who popularity was dwindling already by the time Sylvester McCoy took over in the late 80s. He was a great doctor who, and one of his companions, Ace was also great. Kind of a cute young girl like Rose, but a sassy attitude like Donna...but with a little bit of Joan Jett mixed in.

I hadn't heard that, but I did hear that another old time lord nemesis was coming back (possibly) next season. The renegade time lord (like the Master), The Rani. Remember the scene at the end of the 2008 season when the master supposedly died, then you saw a female hand pick up the ring.....rumor is that the hand may have been that of the Rani and the Master and the Rani will come back.

Also, I just read a blurb that the weeping angels will be back next season! They were awesome!! One of my favorite episodes of the new doctor who series.

That would be cool

Do you all watch the Sarah Jane Adventures as well?

Did you all hear that K-9 is getting his own show next year? Like SJ, it will be a bit more kid oriented, but may still be fun enough to watch.

It says I have to download a tool bar, I don't need another tool bar or more spyware

I sent this to Termite - a big Dr.Who fan - and .... even though it's a BBC Christmas-y commercial - I think he'll like it anyway.

Dr. Who BBC Christmas 2009 commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kXvs0aKSt0&feature=related)

I didn't go to the site (I have all downloaded and on DVDs any way), but I'm with you. I don't trust ANY toolbar any more. Had to deal with nasty spyware in toolbars more than one time.

This was all plausible, until "studdered?" Now I know you're all lying. How could you?????

Sally Sparrow would be the best companion ever.

Thats a bad Idea, The gave Ozzy his own show, Now the prince of darkness is just a washed up tool reduced to a pathetic reality show personality. K-9 is way to cool to be teaching kids there ABCs. He should be killing & Blowing stuff up & burning and cutting up people. K-9 should not have nudicles

Huh. It lets me just click and play on my Mac.
Doesn't say anything about a tool bar.
Oh well.
