My favorite Dr Who companion, promoted
- Thread starter Who's Wee Dug
- Start date
I didn't like Catherine Tate's sketch shows, and was dreading it when she was announced as the Doctor's companion. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she was great in the role, and she did become my favourite so far.

I think my choice may have been influenced because they ditched the whole companion falling in love with the Doctor for her; I found it so refreshing.

Honestly, I'm ambivalent and somewhat philosophical about this news. On the one hand, as a fan, I don't want the series to be cancelled again, and the 'competitive tender' thing might end up being a disaster anyway. On the other hand, fifteen seasons and a plethora of specials over a period of over two decades is a damn good run for a TV series, and the show had been showing signs of being tired as far back as Steven Moffat's tenure on the show. If it has a (preferably) temporary rest, then maybe that's for the best. It's not like Whovians are hurting for material to watch, listen, and/or read. I have a HUGE backlog of Big Finish audios to listen to, never mind my collection of the Virgin and BBC Books novels...
