if I say Wilf I feel like the mods will Deadly Assassin me
I knew someone would go there.
Otherwise my favourites are Sarah Jane, Evelyn, Romana and Donna
Agreed. I never get people who complain about flawed characters. The more flawed they are, the more interesting they are to watch.
If I’m picking a top 5 I think it’s gotta be Peri, Clara, Yaz, Donna, and Rose (in that order probably but don’t hold me to that). Honorable mentions include Erimem, Liz, Dodo, and Rose Noble (though I wouldn’t really call her a companion but Magic the Gathering does so I can put her on this list).
It makes me happy that I’m seeing a good few people list Clara. I remember how hated she was by many of the fans back during her time.
Clara was the first companion I latched on to. She and Twelve were my original favorite TARDIS Team.
I can’t list five, so I’ll just go through my favourites: Liz, Jo, Rory, Clara, Bill, Nardole, Yaz, Ryan, Graham, and Dan.
I’m really excited for Leela and Romana because they sound exactly like characters I’d love.
Graham and Nardole!! How did I forget Graham and Nardole!!
(You may be spotting an irritating pattern)
Eventually, Delta will remember all of the companions, and have listed every one of them.
Indeed.
Well, except Clara obvs…
Ah yes, the two genders
Have you remembered Wilf yet? ![]()
I’ve been studiously avoiding commenting on those posts…
Let it be known that I didn’t choose war here. It’s documented right here.
It’s so hard to choose ahhh! If I really had to draw up a list:
- Clara
- Donna
- Martha
- Gabby Gonzalez (I miss her so much)
- Bill
The complaints never made sense to me. People said it became ‘The Clara Show’, but Doctor Who is a show told from the companion’s perspective. They’re supposed to be the entry point for us into the Doctor’s world.
