Companion romances in Doctor Who

I think that it is kind of implied that Ian and Barbara, and Ben and Polly, become couples after travelling with the Doctor. Are there any other companions that fall in love in the TARDIS?

Amy and Rory do not really count as they were a thing before the Doctor.

Leela and Romana I know that one’s all in my head and they never met on screen anyway, but my point still stands :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Peri has been dating a pop star (Joe Carnaby) for some time in Blood on Santa’s Claw. Their relationship is basically the whole point of the story.

Evelyn and Rossiter

Flip married Jared Ramon on a break from traveling with the Doctor

Or is this topic about two companions who get together?

I don’t know, actually. I had thought about asking if you think that Ban and Polly would have liked each other if they did not have this coming experience, but it somehow became this :joy:

Flip deserves so much better. I honestly hope her arc finishes with her kicking his butt

I believe this was done because the guy who played Tom Milligan in the S3 finale couldn’t reprise his role but… yeah what was that? Could have just had a different scene with Martha talking to someone else about her marriage to Tom while not having him actually in the scene.

In my headcanon Martha/Mickey did not happen.

It is just one of the several thousand things wrong with The End of Time :wink:

You know I actually like The End of Time (I enjoyed watching it, okay) but it is quite a mess.

Please no.
Another stupid idea from RTD.
Sorry to those that like it.

I just can’t see where people got the idea for Nyssa and Tegan being a romantic couple - I can’t think of a single scene where they even give off that vibe :person_shrugging:

We all like different things.:slightly_smiling_face:
There is just so much that I get annoyed at in the End of Time that even Bernard Cribbins can’t begin to save that mess :wink:

(Though yeah I don’t really like EoT that much elsewise either :sweat_smile:)
