Ahhh, I think they totally gel!! See The Also People, Just War, SLEEPY… to name a few! I just think they don’t gel in the same way other teams do. Their best scenes are usually in pairs, which isn’t for everyone, but is fine for me. My favourite scene with them all comes in So Vile a Sin, when (not major SVAS spoilers, especially if you know the main plot events, also linked to Just War) Chris and Benny are cleaning out Roz’s room (which is brilliant in general), but then Orman goes on to add this very understated moment where they find her wedding dress for George Reed… not only does it tell us so much about how Roz shows herself, but also the reactions from Benny and Chris are amazing. As someone who’s always been more fascinated by the companions than the Doctor, it does help that they have ‘Time’s Champion’ pushing them on.

I shall check back and view the spoilers when I’ve finished So Vile a Sin, which will probably be later tonight!

Finished So Vile a Sin!! You’re right, that was a great moment. The whole book was frankly brilliant, actually. I’m glad Roz got to shine so much, particularly as she had been gotten the short end of the stick a bit in the previous two VNAs (despite those two also being among my favorites of the series). And Chris got to shine too!

Interesting that there are a handful of single-vote companions and the Raine Creevy doesn’t get any. I’d think that she’s at least one person’s favorite. I don’t mind her, she’s just not in the top tier for me.
