Favourite Doctor/Companion from Doctor Who

Just that really. Who was your favourite doctor and companion (don't have to have travelled together) in the new series - 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13? Or if you have a favourite from the old series, I'd love to hear that too because I've never seen it - no idea where to find it!

Old Doctor Who is all on Britbox.

My favourite companions from the originals were Liz Shaw and Leela but from new Doctor Who it was Donna.

Eccleston.

Catherine tate- Donna.

Zorya · 27/03/2023 00:45

I liked Bill. 😭

Tennant was my favourite Doctor by some distance.

Companions are more difficult. Tegan, Rose and Donna are probably my top three. But I loved Jack and Sarah Jane and Leela and Ace as well.

Tennant and Donna. I just love them as a pair.

Me too! I feel like she's one of the most underrated and least talked about companion.

For the record, my comforts are 11 and Amy although I know people dislike them and Amy def has her flaws but I think she developed 😊

So those are my favs I'd say, but I truly love them all, it's especially hard to choose a favourite companion because they all had such amazing characteristics!

They're so amazing together and I think the reason I love them a lot is because she's the only one in New Who who stays completely platonic. I'm pretty sure there's hints of romance with all the rest! Donna def deserved more than 1 season, s4 was so good.

From my childhood: Baker, Tom and Leela

From my DD's childhood: Tennant and Rose

CallMeDuringDrWhoAndIllKillYou · 27/03/2023 01:18

Doctors: Matt Smith/Tom Baker - but Capaldi had some brilliant moments
Companions: Donna/Leela/River Song

whatwhhat · 27/03/2023 01:20

Donna by a mile although I did quite like Martha. I wasn't a great fan of Amy pond but loved the story line with river song!

Jux · 27/03/2023 01:21

Troughton, loved him. As for companions I suppose young Jamie. Both back in the 60s.

Jux · 27/03/2023 01:24

Oh sorry, you only want modern Drs. Well I loathed DT who I thought was shit as DrW, but I did like Smith.

Jux · 27/03/2023 01:26

And I like K9 too.

HarrietSchulenberg · 27/03/2023 01:52

David Tenant and Donna, by miles.

evergreen2 · 27/03/2023 02:01

Tennant and Rose

I haven't watched it much since Matt Smith left, I didn't like the older guy who took over. Just couldn't warm to him and the writing got a bit daft.

CrinklyLoveStick · 27/03/2023 02:05

Tennent and Rose/Donna.

Worst ever - Martha. Although that could have been her dire acting. I used to cringe.

sashh · 27/03/2023 06:23

Sarah Jane and David Tennant. Love the episodes they were together.

Loved Ecclestone, he should have had more than one series.

When William Hartnell regenerated into Patrick Troughton I was traumatised and had to stop watching it for a couple of years. My 11 year old self just couldn't cope.

OneFrenchEgg · 27/03/2023 06:43

Tom Baker and Romana - his voice was amazing. I saw him on stage as the Inspector in An Inspector Calls and he was brilliant.

I got incredibly lost once the whole crack in the wall / ice soldier/ Matt smith in a tower/ gallifree isn't destroyed/ tennant as a baby thing started and stopped following it. Watched if it was on but I never got back into it.

SheilaFentiman · 27/03/2023 06:46

Capaldi and Clara.

Atteloiv · 27/03/2023 06:52

Christopher E and Billie Piper were amazing.

Moomoola · 27/03/2023 07:51

Donna.
she actually had character. And was platonic. Am very fed up of pretty pretty young females with no character who fancy him. Let’s crack on with the adventure!

Moomoola · 27/03/2023 07:51

And more Missy please!

OhVicIveFallen · 27/03/2023 07:56

Donna definitely. And Matt Smith was the best doctor. I feel bad for Jodie that she was given such awful scripts to work with, she could have been brilliant. Worst companion I think is Yaz, the acting was atrocious!
