1. I know she was mentioned negatively in that other WHo thread

but I love Amy Pond.


Of course, in the interest of full disclosure, I could fall in love with a pretty red-head as she was tasering me in the nuts.

9. I had to look it up

He is one of only a few actors to appear in both the TV series and one of the 1960s movies, and the only one to have portrayed a companion in both. He was also considered for the role of the Fourth Doctor.

Trivia: Cribbins contributed to Mott's back-story by wearing his own Parachute Regiment insignia on Mott's cap!

7. Amy Pond.

For no deep reason, other than she is a pleasant combination of cute and feisty.

10. Donna

I liked her sarcastic and irreverent attitude toward the Doctor.



I also like Rose, simply because I could not imagine an American TV series in which the heroine lives in public housing, has left school at 16 (clear from the context if you know about the British school system), and has an African-British boyfriend.

12. I love Rose, too.

She's beautiful, but like a real person. I hate to use the expression "the girl next door," but she really could be.

It's really hard to choose a favorite companion or a favorite Doctor Who. It's like choosing a favorite amongst my children! I love 'em all. Even Amy, although she is definitely my least favorite.

Forgot to add, I actually saw "Torchwood" first, and I am so sad there are no more of those. (I should say Jack is another fave companion.)
