DOCTOR WHO: The Companions
Loading...
Uploaded by lesather on Jul 23, 2008
45 Years...10 Doctors...38 companions...put to four minutes of music.
I have put together a video showing 38 of the Doctor's companions over the course of the show's history.
I did make a couple choices that may be controversial to some fans of the show. I included 'Sarah Kingdom' and 'Adam Mitchell', which some people do not consider full companions because their travels were so short. I count Romana twice, but K-9 only once even though there are three (K-9 mk I stayed on Gallifrey with Leela and K-9 mk II stayed in E-Space with Romana II...and K-9 mk III was a gift to Sarah Jane Smith).
Also, I decided to exclude 'The Brigadier', 'SGT Benton' and 'CPT Mike Yates' because while the U.N.I.T team were recurring characters in the series, they were never "companions" (like 'Liz Shaw', 'Jo Grant' and 'Sarah Jane Smith' were during that time period). If I included them I felt it would have been like including 'Jackie Tyler', who was also a recurring character...but would never be considered a companion of the Doctor.
All video clips belong to the BBC. Music ("Love Don't Roam") was written by Murray Gold and performed by Neil Hannon.

There's five characters that have been missed from this sequence Michelle Ryan (Lady Christina de Souza), Lyndsey Duncan (Adelaid), Bernad Cribbens (Wilfred), Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) and Arthur Darvill (Rory).

PLUS, I know this came after this video was made, but she got quite an adventure in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End.

Except for the Mel scream, I liked the video.
I don't know if Liz got to travel in the TARDIS. If she didn't, then therefore, by extension, she isn't classified as a companion using your logic. And if memory serves me, the Brig did travel in the TARDIS during a Fifth Doctor episode. Yates and Benton, yeah, that's debatable. Also, Jackie Tyler did have a flight in the TARDIS ("My mum's on board.") Granted, that was a hop from the Powell Estate to Canary Wharf, but still a ride nonetheless.

Pff - If ADAM gets to be in it, The Brig AT LEAST should. Just because he wasn't a regular TARDIS traveller that's no excuse to be excluded. He was one of the Doctor's closest friends and they knew eachother for half their respective lives.
Even so - I do love this video.
-
If Liz gets included (Who I may add, was the Doctor's ASSISTANT, and never actually travelled in the TARDIS), then the Brig, Benton and Yates should be too. They were all primarily members of UNIT, and the Brigadier in particular had far more effect on the Doctor's life than Sara Kingdom who only appeared in ONE story, or Katarina who was in two.

That was so fun to watch that Mel's scream took me by utter surprise.

Awesome!

Cool vid - I think it's good that there's some differences in opinion. Chang Lee counts for me because he was hypnotised, lied to, threatened and killed by the Master before the Tardis brought him back to life and the 8th Doctor's acceptance of him just shows what an extraordinary Doctor he was.
We all could probably argue forever whether Adam was the first "usuitable companion" too.

I had a conversation with Yee Jee Tso about this at the recent Chicago TARDIS convention and he pretty much said the same thing. He saw himself being considered a companion to the Doctor because he helped get the 7th Doctor to the hospital, then he gets dupped by the Master into helping him and finally ends up helping the 8th Doctor.

Really good but where's the Brig?,also Captain Yates and Sgt.Benton are classed as companions too.

I felt he Brig., Yates & Benton were recurring characters and not companions, since the Doctor's "companions" during that time were actually Liz Shaw, Jo Grant & Sarah Jane Smith. In the new series you wouldn't consider Jackie Tyler a "companion" would you? I also wouldn't have included Mickey Smith if it were based on anything prior to the ending of "School Reunion".
