Doctor Who: The Companions (All The Doctor's Companions 1963 - 2010)

Doctor Who: The Companions (All the Doctor's companions & friends 1963 - 2010)

A guide to each of the Doctor's companions over the years including prominent 'friends' (such as the main characters from UNIT). Features the names of each actor & actress and a record of their time / appearances in the part.

The companions list was created by compiling the following sources:
* The BBC website list of companions
* TARDIS Index File's list of companions
* Wikipedia's list of companions

Many other characters which fans consider to be companions aren't included on any of these lists (eg. Jackie Tyler, the Doctor's daughter, Sally Sparrow etc.) so an honourable mentions section for the 2005 - 2010 series has been added so they could at least be included in some way.

PLEASE NOTE: Exactly which Doctor Who characters are officially considered companions is never crystal clear. It varies from source to source / fan to fan, so this video is most certainly open to interpretation.

I really, really do not understand why Donna Noble never makes the list for most people. She was one of the most amazing companions the Doctor Ever had. I can't think of any companion that had grown as a character more than Donna. Not to mention, Donna IS the doctor as a female. Her outbursts and posturing gave way to a humane nature. I can't think of any companion what-so-ever that can compare in character development in the shows history.

Donna was my absolute, FAVOURITE companion <3

@CEnforce Well SORRY. Normally I write 'series', but I was just talking with someone else about season 1 of Battlestar Galactica so I forgot. There's no need to have a hissy fit - clearly if this person didn't even know about the ending of The End of Time then I'm not going to confuse them by accidentally calling it 'season 4'.

[CEnforce]

@CamilleonProductions season 4 was in 1966. Series 4 was in 2008

[CamilleonProductions]

@dollymixturedaydream No, season 4 was 2008. In The End of Time part 2 (which aired on New Years Day 2010) the Doctor goes back and says goodbye to many of his companions - including Rose - just before he regenerates.

[CEnforce]

@Browncoatt22 If both hearts are stopped the doctor still dies. Also, vaporization, disintegration, and certain kinds of poison are still a threat to him, a fatal threat. And if he is fatally wounded mid-regeneration he can die a permanent death as well.

[dollymixturedaydream]

Billie piper - 2010? was that when season 4 came out?! omg i thought it was longer than 2 years!

[dollymixturedaydream]

@honeycomb97 she was brilliant :) she made me laugh

[Browncoatt22]

@CEnforce Ok ok, so it wasn't perhaps the current writers decision, but it's still a mistake in my opinion. As he is he is potentially immortal, like a vampire, he COULD live forever, but if he runs out of lives then he is a goner, same as if a vampire gets staked. But give him an endless supply of bodies and he IS immortal. That's the problem I have really. I guess unless you can kill him inbetween regenerations, surprised no ones managed that yet really...

[CEnforce]

@Browncoatt22 Well, to be fair, the writers had been planning on working around the regeneration limit since the late 70s.

[Browncoatt22]

@CEnforce I loved Tennant as the Doctor, but I feel he outstayed his welcome a little, they kept him around longer than needed to boost ratings. I would've missed him more had he gone sooner, but by the time he left I was ready for a change. Eager even. With Eccleston I was genuinely gutted he was gone so soon, that gave a real sense of loss. And now with the Doctor not going anywhere after his 13th state, it ruins the whole idea for me. It's just greed pure and simple.
