Absolutely bullshit, Sarah Jane smith is the ultimate companion she is such a class companion who made her character on the same level as the doctor himself Sarah was always the main companion for me, Sarah was brave strong smart loyal hard working and such her own character and such an individual. No one beats Sarah Jane if all the companions came back and was against each other I know for a fact Sarah would win!
To be honest, I prefer RTD era of Doctor Who as opposed to Moffat's. Also, it would be great if there was a male companion in doctor who, I mean, I haven't seen much of that in the modern Who.
David Harrison Agreed... Moffat's episodes are so confusing. Back in the Eccelston and Tennant years his episodes used to be really good and scary, but now he just fills them with these really annoying plot twists.
I used to spend a long time wondering why so many people didn't like Clara. Then I actually watched her - and I still don't understand where all the hate comes from. Clara Oswald is a fantastic companion, and a fantastic character. She's not cowardly, she's not unkind, she's not lacking in intelligence, she's not boring, she's not cruel, she's not unfunny…I mean there is nothing - NOTHING - unlikeable about her.
And that's what's wrong with her. She's perfect and that makes for a bad character. She's THAT female character. You know, the one that the main character in any show/movie usually wants. The spunky, cute, quirky one that is basically everyone's dream girl. She can also do just about anything. Again, not flawed in any way, which makes her bland, unbelievable and boring. That's why she is a awful character. Even worse, a bad companion.
Nessa Perez and let's not forget how easely danny convinced her that the doctor is a bad person even though she has known him for years and knowes him 10000000000000 times more then danny
Being unable to cook is not a flaw that gives her character depth. Cooking is literally the only problem she has. Cute isn't it? Beyond that, she is perfect in every way, and dull and uninteresting in every way. She's still severely a Mary Sue, an idealized character, and nothing else.
Nessa Perez I was throwing out the cooking as a cheeky example for laughs. She struggles in other ways, too. I personally find her character engaging, and with quite a bit more depth than you give her credit for.
Hold on, you exclude Captain Jack as he has his own spin off show, okay...But yet, Sarah Jane Smith is up there and she had her own spin off??? I mean, she deserves number one, rightly so but the lack of logic for excluding Captain Jack is baffling... Plus Susan isn't the only relative to meet The Doctor...What about Jenny?
I think it's because Jack was only in a handful of episodes before Torchwood whereas Sarah Jane was a companion for years (arguably during the show's prime before the revival) and didn't get a spinoff until decades later.
I absolutely LOVED Donna. While not being my FAVORITE companion, the chemistry was amazing and obviously the comedic chemistry was even better. They balanced each other very well. I often go back and watch their episodes because it’s just so good.
i feel like most people didn't like her because she acted really bitchy towards the doctor and was always pissed and jealous about Rose which didn't set well considering her sad sendoff
WatchMojo probably didn't think of him as a companion. There is probably a case to be made for that choice. I put him in the first spot though as he is probably my favorite character in the entire series. So yeah: biased much.
Who in the right mind would rank Rose and Amy over Romana, Sarah Jane, Leela, Jo Grant, Peri, Liz, Jamie, Victoria, Susan, Tegan, basically why rank Nu Who over Classic Who?!
Oh, I'm sorry that the Google Plus Profile Picture isn't rectangular because then you'd see all of the Doctors, as this is a cropped image that I made.
Bullshit WatchMojo, why exclude Jack Harkness (who originated on doctor who) when Martha Jones was on Torchwood too, its just Watchmojo being full of themselves as usual i guess.
That's actually my gripe with the exclusion. He isn't more known on Torchwood than on Doctor Who. I actually think Sarah Jane Adventures is more popular than Torchwood...
+Christopher Clarke exactly they could have excluded also Sarah Jane since she has Sarah Jane adventures So number 1 should theoretically be Dona (uh I hate to say that I hated her so much...)
Christopher Clarke It's because Jack is even more badass than the Doctor himself. So counting him as a companion would be like insulting him. (At least this is what I tell myself to stay calm and not express my rage on watch mojo)
+Valerie Lawton Do people really get emotional over characters that are obviously not real. The only time I ever cried to Doctor Who was the second to last story of The Sarah Jane Adventures... "The Curse of Clyde Langer"" F*ck Doomsday, F*ck The End Of Time, Fuck Angels Takes Manhattan. Watching a child witness everyone in his entire life suddenly hate him and drive him homeless is the most f*cking depressing thing I watched on this show and I saw people being murdered and mutated by Daleks, Cybermen, Space Bugs, Plants, Timelords, and f*cking cat people.
They didn't exclude Captain Jack because he has his own spinoff show, they excluded him because he is MOSTLY known for his spinoff show. Jack appeared in a grand total of ten Doctor Who episodes (11 if you count his cameo in "The End Of Time: Part 2") and was an on again, off again companion, rather than a constant one. Sarah Jane is much better known for her time as a companion and was a constant companion for four seasons of the classic series and that's without counting her subsequent reappearances
TheImpossibleGirl I think Jack is awesome and iconic but I wouldn't class him as a companion like the others are. I think it should only apply to people who travelled long-term with just the Doctor.
+Charizarzar they specified their criteria for a companion at the beginning. and it wasn't just long term travelers.(even though they all ended up being one who were long term travelers)
HOW THE HELL IS CLARA ONLY NUMBER 7?!?! Clara is probably the best companion. She has been there through everyone of the doctors regenerations and saved his life multiple times. How is she not number 1 or maybe 2 because of Sarah Jane smith. Clara is by far my fave companion.
II UltraWolf I As much as I love Clara (if you couldn't tell already haha) I think she was lower on the list because there's so much hate for her in the fandom
'Everyone of his regenerations' im sorry im in india and here we have seen only till s5 ep15 till yet but i really dont remember seeing clara during Christopher Eccleston and David tennant or im pretty sure that she wasnt in any of the previous doctors (from classic who) either and trust me ... Amy deserves first spot ( my oppinion)
I liked her but (in my friends words) the 10th doctor was looking for a distraction after Rose. Martha wasn’t good enough and she slipped from his memory. This came up through discussing the roles that the female companions had from Rose to Clara. I didn’t know what to make of Martha since she didn’t really make that big of a hit with me. I admire her bravery but I think that if she met the doctor at a different time, he would pay more attention to her. Rose: Bad Wolf Girl Martha: the girl that was forgotten Donna: tue girl that forgot Amy: the girl that waited Clara: the impossible girl.
Freya more like Rose: The girl who changed him Martha: the forgotten him Donna: The most important girl Amy: The girl who waited Clara: The impossible girl
Right? At the very least, I would have expected to see a clip of him in the video, but nope. :( I mean, I get that some people don't consider him a companion (well okay, I don't get it, but that's a debate for another time,) but if the criteria for the list is "companions who spent more than one story with the Doctor, but not necessarily just those who've traveled on the TARDIS" and even freaking Madame Vastra gets a cameo in the video, though thankfully not a spot on the list. I don't see how they could possibly justify completely ignoring the Brig. Also, the BBC clearly has him listed as a classic series companion, so ... Yeah, I see no excuses. * sigh * www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/companions/
mhstevens2001 you write truth. I find that this is one factor that elevates Sarah Jane above Rose as #1. Same with ranking Jon Pertwee's 3rd Doc as number 1 above either Hartnell or David Tennant 10th as the #1 Doctor.
TBH there has been a few times that he has been on the TARDAS with The Doctor and I was wondering the same. He has been with the first 7 doctors from the first all the way up to the 7th and made a guess appearance on Sara Jane. Was also mentioned in a few of the newer shows.
AllonsyRapunzel Of course he was a companion, just because he wasn't a female and wasn't their for a whole season does not make him ineligible for the title of companion.
I can't see eat is special about her. I mean she was symbolic because she didn't fancy the doctor and she had an attitude. But overall I don't see much
The WerewolfF robo raciest haha that made me laugh imagine that being raciest to a robot well we all know what would happen if you were a robo raciest to the daleks
He was a bit of a shit one though. He was just a glorified sonic screwdriver, he couldn't even be in the episode if it was set outside or the floors were uneven.
Ari A I feel a bit awful that I almost forgot Martha. All the companions from the classic run are brilliant too tho. It's just that it's a different era since the program returned.
1. Amy Pond 2. Martha Jones 3. Rose Tyler 4. Rory Williams 5. River Song (where was she on this list watchmojo?) 6. Sarah Jane 7. Donna Noble 8. Clara Oswald
I honestly do not understand why some people here hate Rose as a companion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but personally I think she was one of the best. She helped relaunch the series and both her and David Tennant as the Doctor was the highlight of the series for me. You could see much more complicated storylines and matters that actually made you think when they were on the show. Plus it's quite obvious she was a fairly good companion for she won the biggest poll ever done for Doctor who as the favourite companion, with Sarah Jane coming a close 2nd. And if it's the love story that's bothering some Doctor Who fans then that's a real shame because those are usually the same people who think Amy Pond was the greatest companion ever. But wasn't it Amy Pond that tried to run away with the Doctor all the time, jilting her to be husband the night before their wedding day etc. To be honest I got quite sick of the whole "girl who waited" story over and over and over again... If I had to make this list, the order would probably be - 1- Sarah Jane 2- Rose Tyler 3- Donna Noble (who never fell in love with the Doctor so 1+ for that) 4- Rosanna 5- Martha (unfortunately a rebound girl) And so forth. But like I said everyone is entitled to their own opinion so my comment is just how I see things. Your opinion may differ :)
If I had to put up the list I'd do it as follows - 1) Sarah Jane 2) Rose Tyler 3) Donna Noble (Didn't fall in love with the doctor so 1+) 4) Romana 5) Martha (unfortunately a Rebound girl) Anyway everyone is entitled to their own opinion so here's mine, feel free to express yours :)
@cryer24597 "In an online poll in late 2010 conducted by the Radio Times, with over 3,000 participants, Rose was again voted the most popular companion.[109] She retained this position in a 2013 poll conducted ahead of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary, which had over 21,000 respondents, with 25.09% of the vote."
+cryer25497 Thanks for the information! At least Sarah Jane got the position she deserved and Rose and Donna were also up there. I should do more research next time lol :)
+Bethany “Beth” Evans Honestly, I respect your opinion but...Rose is just too bland a character for me to even moderately like. Russel treated her as the Doctor's "one true" sweetheart. The idea is...not horrible but you have to have a strong character for that to work and, me, I think Grace from the 1996 Doctor Who movie had more chemistry. She's just more interesting, had a bit of a fling with him and The Doctor basically went on his way after their meeting. You could argue that last point was "bad", but at least The Doctor didn't creepily obsess over her every time he got a new companion. Rose is basically Ace without explosives. The only reason people like her so much is that a lot of people only watch New Who and thats it. As stupid as that is (considering the classic and new show are in continuity...why would you NOT watch the classics?), you leave out many great companions like The Brigadier, Jamie, Ace, Ian, Barbara and Romana which all make Rose look even blander and more boring.
Orthodox plum top 4 in order rose tyler, amy pond, martha jones and then clara. But if u include jack he would bumb clara out taking 2nd with amy and martha behind him
James Logan Are you thick ? Martha made my childhood she proved herself more then any companion all thr others needed the doctor with them all tye time where as martha didnt need a baby sitter
Sarah Jane is the perfect companion, and she is rightfully loved by the fans. After her, the next in line has to be K-9. Come on, he's K-9. Of the new ones, Rose is the best, followed by Donna Noble. Two others that were special favourites of mine were Leela and Captain Jack.
Yikes. The amount of people that think Rose was better than Sarah Jane actually freaks me out. Rose, originally, was the classic, down-to-earth girl. And I liked her, until Tennant came along, that is. Then, she got all loved-up and whiny and just generally annoying. Whereas Sarah Jane, she experienced the exact same thing. Travelled with a Doctor, saw him regenerate, but never changed a bit. She stayed the funny, feisty companion that everybody knew and, I suppose, loved.
Rose wasn't my favorite companion, but I liked her. I loved how delighted she was just to be traveling. She's a great representation of the average girl (though significantly more attractive). People complain about her being lovey dovey with Tennant and say she becomes brainless (which she really doesn't) but nobody accuses David Tennant of being brainless because he's Rose Tyler's boyfriend. She's cute, funny, clever and frequently vital to making things work out. But Amy is my favorite.
The people who think Rose have many very valid points but Sarah Jane is the best. They are both "normal modern for their decade" brave intelligent loyal etc. Sarah Jane just brings more. In many ways she is a bridge between different aspects of Doctor Who. She is the perfect connection between classic and modern series. She interacted onscreen with 9 Doctors in 2 different centuries. She was so good at being a companion that she became a sudo-Doctor with a sonic lipstick (driver) and companions. In this role she was the 5th best Doctor. She stayed cute forever. Above all else she is just a phone call away from Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. How did he not make this list?
Watchmojo... What have you done? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE? Oh no... I hear them... They're coming... The Tumblr users... RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
+Linda de Montaigu I'm of course exaggerating, I don't think she's the worst but I just found her annoying and I don't know why everyone seems to like her.
Are u kidding? Rose, Donna,Sarah Jane, Amy are (i think) a bit more important to the doctor because honestly the doctor had a lot more adventures than w/ Martha
Honestly, Donna is probably my favorite Revival Companion. She was very compassionate, challenged the Doctor far more than the other Nu Companions, and Doctor Donna was awesome. I still despise the end of Journey's End and what happened to her in End of Time.
And i don't like rose, so don't even try calling me a fanboy (I've heard that argument too many times to count) Martha was basically the love sick puppy who tried to act bada** but ended up being so cringy. In my opinion Donna was the best, but that's just me
Same! I absolutely positively hated Donna and Martha! They just annoyed me. Rose is my favorite companion on the face of the earth (and every other planet and dimension)!
“The plucky young girl that helps me out” “I’ll pluck you in a minute” Just for this Donna should be number 1 How does the logic of Harkness not work on Sarah... Also Martha should be wayyyyy up there...
+Cryer24597 I think Sarah Jane deserves the number one spot but honestly majority of the fans doesn't think that comment is wrong. Rose is hugely loved and have ended up on the top spot on several big polls.
Cryer24597 I know Sarah Jane won that, I didn't say anything different. But for example looking at other big polls and the comments thread here, there are a lot of "Rose should've been number one" and there are more Rose love than hate. So no I'm not incorrect in stating that "majority" of the fans doesn't disagree with that comment. A huge part probably does, but majority no, I'd say the fanbase is fairly split on that subject. And it changes all the time.
+Nick Marsala i agree soon much with you. but martha shouldn't even be on the list. seriously rose got stuck in a parallel universe and the doctors hearts got broken and she still expects the doctor to love her
Rose was rubbish she relied on the doctor waaaaaaay to much and the whole lovey thing was just stupid as could you imagine rose snogging the 12th doctor?
Yeah, I agree. She is one that I keep thinking of when I think of Doctor Who. I think Clara Oswald should have been higher as well. She is my personal favourite!
I agree she was underrated, but the fact that she was in love with him brings her down a bit for me...I was so sick of that shit with Rose. Donna still remains my favorite companion from the modern era, because there was not an inkling of romantic interest in him. She was so far the only modern companion (excluding a few one offs) to act like an actual classic era companion) In fact in a lot of ways she reminded me of an older version of Ace.
I agree with this list. Though I expected Rose to be at #2. I knew Sarah Jane HAD to be at #1! Was disappointed, though, that K-9 didn't even get an honorable mention! I know he was "just a tin dog," but he was loyal, and I loved him best.
LadyArachnea - But no k9 no Nyssa no Leala ( I know she was in the honourable mentions but it's not the same ) but at least there was Ace my personal favorite .
***** ya, just looked at their channel saw Rose, clicked in the video, then flipped out!! I didn't even know I'd see something Doctor who related, I was just bored
Amy is my all time favorite!!! Generally series 5,6 and 7 with Eleven, Rory and Amy is my favorite series of them all!! I loved Matt Smith's version of the doctor, he really did a good job! Amy, Rory and Eleven will always be my Doctor and Companions. and of course River Song :D
As David and his companions will always be my doctor and companions. Matt Smith's run really ruined the whole experience for me. I could say that maybe I just grew up but after re-watching series 1-4 again I realised that the show just became too childish.
That just show how different people are :D It still amazes me that people can have so different opinions :D Because Matt was the only reason I got into watching Doctor Who :D
+Kira Jeppesen Yes! I think that has a major part in our opinions though. The first Doctor you watch is the only Doctor you know so every other version of him will just seem odd and different to you.
The 1st doctor I saw was Tom Baker, no companion can hold a torch to Lis Sladens Sarah-Jane Smith. Rose Tyler shouldn't even be mentioned as she is easily the worst
I was like really surprised you didn't even put River Song in the honorable mentions at least. She was an amazing companion and has an amazing story. Very disappointing that you didn't have her apart of this list.
Dai Lo I think it depends on how you judge a companion. Some, especially newer viewers, tend to only consider the main "2nd character/lead" as the companion. But when you look at the Classic series, especially the first two doctors, there are so many companions that only traveled from one story to another - heck, some even had the misfortune to only appear in episodes that are lost now. It would be unfair to not include them as companions though, so Characters like Mickey, Jack and River are also considered as companions. Since River did travel with the Tardis, I think she can be considered as companion. I would've raised a bigger eyebrow on the Victorian Trio, as they never traveled with the Tardis (on show at least), but since I tend to enjoy them most out of Moffat's writing, I probably would've let it pass XD
yes they are, and the doctors all the way back to second (and even 1st on occasion) agrees with you! Go look at 2nd and 3rd, bow ties have been cool for a LONG time!!
For me Donna was such a great companion! I enjoyed every single moment she spent with the doctor, they sublimate each other I've never laugh so much in these episodes! She didn't need to prove anything to the Doctor, they were just perfect partners. I miss those two so much!
ThePrenti I disagree. While both had spin-offs, Sarah Jane is more associated with Doctor Who than her own series. Sarah Jane Smith makes me think Classic Who. Captain Jack makes me think of Torchwood.
+Janet Gatz Agreed. While I would be much more content had Jack taken one of the mediocre characters' spots on the list, namely Martha or Clara, the reason he isn't on the list is perfectly reasonable.
Pretty sure he's doing it on purpose.. In my opinion they have Clara be like that because of her ending in the future or maybe for a future companion that will cover her failures.
I am also a Classic Who child, my viewing tenure starting with the tail end of Pertwee's reign... My faves tho include Jamie, Zoe, Victoria*, Jo, Tegan & Ace, with it being very difficult to ignore nearly all of the other classic-era companions bar a couple of ringers [Adric, Turlough & Mel for example IMO]. [*Victoria only really makes my list when I look at her as a combination alongside Troughton & Jamie].
Rose- the girl who he fell in love with and made him better after his bitterness after the war the love of his lifetime THE rose tyler.. Bad wolf Martha- the girl who saved the doctor and saved herself Donna- the doctor's best friend and the most important woman the doctor donna Amy- the doctor's friend and the one who saved him the smartest girl , the girl who didn't make sense. The girl who waited Rory- the bravest best man and the last centurion and the man who loved the most River- the second love of his life the child of the tardis the woman that killed the doctor, the woman that married him and the woman that would rather have time collapse than kill him Clara- the impossible girl. The girl he should remember
ThatOneKyleDude Right? He deserves an honorable mention at least! K-9 was one of my favorite characters on the show. I was so sad when they killed him and so happy when the Doctor brought him back!
Unchained With The Captain Same i could never really put my finger on it but i did hate her scream omg so irritating. Rory was much better and should have made the list instead
+Unchained With The Captain me too, I think it was her constant attitude that she knew everything and she knew what she was doing and didn't quite start off with the confused 'what's going on' story like most other companions and therefore didn't really have much character development in the sense of growing like Rose did (I'm biased, Rose Tyler is my favourite). I didn't like Amy alone but I loved her and Rory as a couple companion.
You gave a spoiler warning without showing River Song saying "spoilers"?
Brione
True
Great point!
Agreed!
Brione I KNOW THIS IS WHY I DOUBT THEY ARE TRUE WHOVIANS
Brione Thank goodness for that!!! River Song is simply annoying as hell whenever she goes Spoilers!!! Hell, she's just an annoying character period!!!
Am I the only one who liked Rory
_ TheBigPig _ All loves Rory Williams.
Loved Rory. I went to a convention where there were multiple companions and a Doctor. I only had enough money to get one autograph...I picked him!
RORY THE ROMAN I THINK YOU MEAN!
_ TheBigPig _ Lol! He had his moments, but really, I liked him too. He and Amy was a real couple/team on Doctor Who. Miss them both.
no he is awsome
All of you are arguing about Rose or Donna or Sarah Jane... but the real winner was... Jackie Tyler
Jackie was OP
It'd be unfair to put her on the list
Absolutely bullshit, Sarah Jane smith is the ultimate companion she is such a class companion who made her character on the same level as the doctor himself Sarah was always the main companion for me, Sarah was brave strong smart loyal hard working and such her own character and such an individual. No one beats Sarah Jane if all the companions came back and was against each other I know for a fact Sarah would win!
Ace. Pure and simple.
Jackie was too overpowered haha. Parallel-universe traveler, killer of Daleks, lover of 9 and 10 (haha only 10)
Metagalactic Llama It was both
Wilfred Mott
Actually the best character
He is a true legend
It’s dem aliens that changed the list.
He only travelled with the Doctor once in the end of time pt. 1 &2 the other times he was a side character.
Still, what a legend!
YAAAAAAS #1!
The best and most loyal companion of all time: The TARDIS herself
Iris then.
It's actually Idris, not Iris
Count KEKula she’s the only companion that never left her!
Øh ŷęh
Count KEKula so the TARDIS is a girl?
man I really liked Rory, shame he didn't make the list
thats an unpopular opinion
Rory was the best
"My name is Romanadvoratrelundar."
"I'm so sorry about that. Is there anything we can do?"
Fourth Doc had the sickest burns.
It's either Romana or Fred.
7:24 lol
Roses are red

It's still too soon.... lol
Fishy Doodle
Here you go: 💰💰💰

@@eastkidd2563 HE WOULD NEVER SAY THAT TO ROSE!!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!???!!!
I forgot was he gonna say I love u 😕
To be honest, I prefer RTD era of Doctor Who as opposed to Moffat's. Also, it would be great if there was a male companion in doctor who, I mean, I haven't seen much of that in the modern Who.
David Harrison Jack, Rory, Mickey?
TheImpossibleGirl I said ''I haven't seen much'' meaning it wasn't as long as the occasional companions.
David Harrison Ah, sorry for the confusion
David Harrison Agreed... Moffat's episodes are so confusing. Back in the Eccelston and Tennant years his episodes used to be really good and scary, but now he just fills them with these really annoying plot twists.
Henry Blake Yeah, it's like 1 episode is 6 episodes...if you get me.
I used to spend a long time wondering why so many people didn't like Clara. Then I actually watched her - and I still don't understand where all the hate comes from. Clara Oswald is a fantastic companion, and a fantastic character. She's not cowardly, she's not unkind, she's not lacking in intelligence, she's not boring, she's not cruel, she's not unfunny…I mean there is nothing - NOTHING - unlikeable about her.
And that's what's wrong with her. She's perfect and that makes for a bad character. She's THAT female character. You know, the one that the main character in any show/movie usually wants.

Nessa Perez and let's not forget how easely danny convinced her that the doctor is a bad person even though she has known him for years and knowes him 10000000000000 times more then danny
Nessa Perez Oh, she does have flaws, just not anything unlikeable. Ever tried her cooking?
Being unable to cook is not a flaw that gives her character depth. Cooking is literally the only problem she has. Cute isn't it? Beyond that, she is perfect in every way, and dull and uninteresting in every way. She's still severely a Mary Sue, an idealized character, and nothing else.
Nessa Perez I was throwing out the cooking as a cheeky example for laughs. She struggles in other ways, too. I personally find her character engaging, and with quite a bit more depth than you give her credit for.
Hold on, you exclude Captain Jack as he has his own spin off show, okay...But yet, Sarah Jane Smith is up there and she had her own spin off??? I mean, she deserves number one, rightly so but the lack of logic for excluding Captain Jack is baffling...
Plus Susan isn't the only relative to meet The Doctor...What about Jenny?
Tru
+Liam Catterson she was in one story
I think it's because Jack was only in a handful of episodes before Torchwood whereas Sarah Jane was a companion for years (arguably during the show's prime before the revival) and didn't get a spinoff until decades later.
***** I don't see how that refutes his point.
Xatu Nightcore they said at the start not including people only in one story with the doctor
I absolutely LOVED Donna. While not being my FAVORITE companion, the chemistry was amazing and obviously the comedic chemistry was even better. They balanced each other very well. I often go back and watch their episodes because it’s just so good.
I saw "Journey's End" yesterday, and I loved when she says, "OI!"
She's back for 2023

lol
Where is River?
Right
She must be first or second
put river in second, drop donna to third and rose to about 11th, and list starts coming together i think.
River Song is his/her (because the doctor is a female now) wife. So how would she be a companion
Yh where is River Song?
Martha Jones is sooo underrated. She was smart and actually useful. She saved the freaking world AND the Doctor multiple times!
Alejandra Butrón I agree!!!!
THANK YOU i feel the exact same
Agreed Martha Jones should be top 3 minimum.
i feel like most people didn't like her because she acted really bitchy towards the doctor and was always pissed and jealous about Rose which didn't set well considering her sad sendoff
martha wasnt bitchy he pushed her away in his manner so he was bitchy!😣
The real reason Captain Jack Harkness wasn't on the list. He'd beat everyone else by far.
True
Well Jack is amazing but Sarah Jane Beats every companion in the Doctor who history and will continue to forever! R.I.P. Elizabeth Sladen.
tbh torch wood kinda ruined his character...
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!??? HE IS AWESOME IN TORCHWOOD AND PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS SAVES THE DAY!
WatchMojo probably didn't think of him as a companion. There is probably a case to be made for that choice. I put him in the first spot though as he is probably my favorite character in the entire series. So yeah: biased much.
Personally I would say the best companions are the Tardis and the Sonic Screwdriver.
I hate the tardist
TARDIS*
cornflakes n milk soooo K9 isnt up for debate then is he
cornflakes n milk Tbh that episode where the Tardis got a body WAS pretty fun... Except the snake tattoo guy died more.
callum Churchett Good point, this chart needs reviewing!!!!
My list.
1- Rose Tyler
2- Amy Pond
3- Sarah Jane
4- Riversong
5- Rory
Have you only watched New Who?
Yas
I am sorry but Martha is by far the best
It absolutely had to be Sarah Jane.
Lol Rory 😂
Why does everyone hate Martha Jones? She's the only companion that was actually as clever as the doctor.
Well she wasn't anywhere near as clever lol
Rose saved the world 2 times She killed the daleks 2 times and she was SEVENTEEN Martha was getting a doctor DO STFU
Uhh dont Talk to ne That argument was terrible. Martha was involved in some of the best doctor who episodes of all time.
Jordan Hovind I mean in comparison to the other companions
She is my least fave of the new series but she is really smart and strong she can get out of almost every situation not like other companions.
Who the hell in their right mind ranks Donna over Rose and Amy??
Who in the right mind would rank Rose and Amy over Romana, Sarah Jane, Leela, Jo Grant, Peri, Liz, Jamie, Victoria, Susan, Tegan, basically why rank Nu Who over Classic Who?!
+Jase Walker Sarah Jane was ranked #1.
Ok, at least Sarah Jane was number one, she deserves it, but Donna was ranked higher than Romana?! That I just can't comprehend.
Jase Walker You are saying class is better than new, but your profile pic is of the three newest doctors?
Oh, I'm sorry that the Google Plus Profile Picture isn't rectangular because then you'd see all of the Doctors, as this is a cropped image that I made.
Bullshit WatchMojo, why exclude Jack Harkness (who originated on doctor who) when Martha Jones was on Torchwood too, its just Watchmojo being full of themselves as usual i guess.
Martha isn't the headliner of Torchwood. She came in for 2 episodes and that's it.
Don't forget Sarah Jane being on the Sarah Jane adventures
That's actually my gripe with the exclusion. He isn't more known on Torchwood than on Doctor Who. I actually think Sarah Jane Adventures is more popular than Torchwood...
+Christopher Clarke exactly they could have excluded also Sarah Jane since she has Sarah Jane adventures So number 1 should theoretically be Dona (uh I hate to say that I hated her so much...)
Christopher Clarke It's because Jack is even more badass than the Doctor himself. So counting him as a companion would be like insulting him. (At least this is what I tell myself to stay calm and not express my rage on watch mojo)
You put MARTHA JONES AS NINE?!?!
Triggered me
Went to comment then realised I'd already put what I'm thinking now 😂
One of the worst
OpeNope ItsMe exactly she shouldn’t even be top ten
@@salcoscino4272 are you high
River Song wasn't even an honorable mention? What the actual hell??
I think it's because River never really stayed with the Doctor on the TARDIS long enough for her to be considered a 'companion'.
nOT AN ACTUAL COMPANION, and even if she was, she's be a SECONDARY companion at best
because this list is for PRIMARY companions only. River was a SECONDARY companion
River deserves to be on this list along with K-9
amen
For fucks sake, that short clip from Angels Take Manhattan made me tear up. Thank goodness they didnt show a clip from Doomsday...
No kidding. I still haven't emotionally recovered from the the first time.
+Valerie Lawton Do people really get emotional over characters that are obviously not real. The only time I ever cried to Doctor Who was the second to last story of The Sarah Jane Adventures... "The Curse of Clyde Langer"" F*ck Doomsday, F*ck The End Of Time, Fuck Angels Takes Manhattan. Watching a child witness everyone in his entire life suddenly hate him and drive him homeless is the most f*cking depressing thing I watched on this show and I saw people being murdered and mutated by Daleks, Cybermen, Space Bugs, Plants, Timelords, and f*cking cat people.
+Valerie Lawton 9:01 There's some "Doomsday" for you!
ER78A
Yeah... yeah but it's not Bad Wolf Bay... THAT'S where I would lose it XP
+ER78A True. But not the depressing part...
YOU EXCLUDED THE QUEEN CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS???!!!!!!!!
Elise Powell Jack was just the embodiment of awesomeness!! But he was excluded for a stupid reason since Sarah Jane had a spinoff and she was No. 1
They didn't exclude Captain Jack because he has his own spinoff show, they excluded him because he is MOSTLY known for his spinoff show. Jack appeared in a grand total of ten Doctor Who episodes (11 if you count his cameo in "The End Of Time: Part 2") and was an on again, off again companion, rather than a constant one. Sarah Jane is much better known for her time as a companion and was a constant companion for four seasons of the classic series and that's without counting her subsequent reappearances
TheImpossibleGirl I think Jack is awesome and iconic but I wouldn't class him as a companion like the others are. I think it should only apply to people who travelled long-term with just the Doctor.
+Charizarzar they specified their criteria for a companion at the beginning. and it wasn't just long term travelers.(even though they all ended up being one who were long term travelers)
+Elise Powell Didn't Captain Jack turn out to be an immortal? Not a Time Lord, but something else. He was the Face of Boe.
U forgot the Tardis. Best girl of the series
How do you know it is a girl?
Balint Uhrinbora because she showed up in human form, as a girl
@@Lior353 that’s not sure. The woman was only a shell. Not necessarily the TARDIS itself.
HOW THE HELL IS CLARA ONLY NUMBER 7?!?! Clara is probably the best companion. She has been there through everyone of the doctors regenerations and saved his life multiple times. How is she not number 1 or maybe 2 because of Sarah Jane smith. Clara is by far my fave companion.
A lot of people found her annoying but yea I agree
Yeah... I find Clara dull and annoying, but that's just my opinion. I think this list has it right.
II UltraWolf I As much as I love Clara (if you couldn't tell already haha) I think she was lower on the list because there's so much hate for her in the fandom
'Everyone of his regenerations' im sorry im in india and here we have seen only till s5 ep15 till yet but i really dont remember seeing clara during Christopher Eccleston and David tennant or im pretty sure that she wasnt in any of the previous doctors (from classic who) either and trust me ... Amy deserves first spot ( my oppinion)
II UltraWolf I Because she's controversial since there are a ton of people who don't like her.
Alright Amy is my absolute favourite companion.
Mine too.. don't tell Clara
+The Doctor what are you doing here doctor
SJCookiEzZ Amy is my favourite too but...Sarah Jane Smith...deserves that number 1 spot. She means so much to the Doctors Legacy.
+shawntasia curry Spoilers!
+Adam Anouer She absolutely does!
Am I the only one who loved Martha?
No. I loved Martha. Her intelligence was a relief after Rose's dimwittedness.
No, no you're not.
I liked her but (in my friends words) the 10th doctor was looking for a distraction after Rose. Martha wasn’t good enough and she slipped from his memory. This came up through discussing the roles that the female companions had from Rose to Clara. I didn’t know what to make of Martha since she didn’t really make that big of a hit with me. I admire her bravery but I think that if she met the doctor at a different time, he would pay more attention to her.
Rose: Bad Wolf Girl
Martha: the girl that was forgotten
Donna: tue girl that forgot
Amy: the girl that waited
Clara: the impossible girl.
Freya more like
Rose: The girl who changed him
Martha: the forgotten him
Donna: The most important girl
Amy: The girl who waited

Alice Evans No. my favorite (the reason I watched Doctor Who). Liked Amy, Rory and River (yes, I know....not a companion).
Rory Williams is the best companion. Fight me
Timmy The Pleb I think the same
If you say so...
loved him too 😁
Jacob Sartorious Rory and Amy together
Dear god no.
It's depressing how little respect Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart gets these days, chap with the moustache, 5 bows rapid!
Right? At the very least, I would have expected to see a clip of him in the video, but nope. :( I mean, I get that some people don't consider him a companion (well okay, I don't get it, but that's a debate for another time,) but if the criteria for the list is "companions who spent more than one story with the Doctor, but not necessarily just those who've traveled on the TARDIS" and even freaking Madame Vastra gets a cameo in the video, though thankfully not a spot on the list. I don't see how they could possibly justify completely ignoring the Brig.
Also, the BBC clearly has him listed as a classic series companion, so ... Yeah, I see no excuses. * sigh *
www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/companions/
mhstevens2001 you write truth. I find that this is one factor that elevates Sarah Jane above Rose as #1. Same with ranking Jon Pertwee's 3rd Doc as number 1 above either Hartnell or David Tennant 10th as the #1 Doctor.
Yeah. Him and the new Unit team, honourable mentions at least!
(points at missy) "chap with the tits there, five rounds rapid"-cyber brig, death in heaven
TBH there has been a few times that he has been on the TARDAS with The Doctor and I was wondering the same. He has been with the first 7 doctors from the first all the way up to the 7th and made a guess appearance on Sara Jane. Was also mentioned in a few of the newer shows.
Rose for the win
^
Or Sarah Jane
Sarah Jane is the best
Daniel Kostick Rose was shit.
+Sam Dimitrijevic yup
If Jack can't be on this because of Torchwood then Sarah Jane shouldn't be allowed on here cause of the SJA.
But she was a companion in the 70's, before the spin offs. Jack was never an official companion
AllonsyRapunzel yes he was an official companion he was travelling in the tardis for more than one story which definitely makes him a companion
+Liam Williams No it doesn't. Tardis travelling does not define companion. Dr Elizabeth Shaw.
+Liam Williams Jack is a side character really. His main role was in a spin off and not the actual show
AllonsyRapunzel Of course he was a companion, just because he wasn't a female and wasn't their for a whole season does not make him ineligible for the title of companion.
Sarah Jane Smith. The greatest female companion. No arguments.
And, as for the men, Jamie McCrimmon.
No, Jo is.
No donna
agreed, with Donna for the modern era
Also for the men i personally think Rory is under appreciated
@@deathexplosion8632 true
If number 1 isn't Rose I'm flipping my wig
How can u like rose
+BudderMan how can you not ?
+sonicdeatmonkey How's your wig?
worst companion ever in my opinion is Rose
+BudderMan how can u not !!!?
My Favourite has got to be Donna Noble 😁
I can't see eat is special about her. I mean she was symbolic because she didn't fancy the doctor and she had an attitude. But overall I don't see much
+Dai Lo eat = wat
OMG SAME!!
HOW
YES! One if her first lines "Where the HELL AM I"
Why is K-9 not on this list?! He counts as a companion!
i think with k-9 being a robot he was most likely classed as a accessory more than a companion which is wrong to me he is classed as a companion
+animelovers000 I was about to call you robo racist until I read the rest of your comment
The WerewolfF robo raciest haha that made me laugh imagine that being raciest to a robot well we all know what would happen if you were a robo raciest to the daleks
He was a bit of a shit one though. He was just a glorified sonic screwdriver, he couldn't even be in the episode if it was set outside or the floors were uneven.
Owen Owenator No it doesn't count. That robot was, like, in three episodes that I can recall.
The fact that Leela is only an honorable mention is complete lunacy.
Why was Martha #9? She was such a good companion!
That just shows how well written and portrayed the companions are in this series! This list will vary a lot from person to person.
Why did you say that name?!
Because Jamie was better
i know
Ari A I feel a bit awful that I almost forgot Martha. All the companions from the classic run are brilliant too tho. It's just that it's a different era since the program returned.
1. Amy Pond
2. Martha Jones
3. Rose Tyler
4. Rory Williams
5. River Song (where was she on this list watchmojo?)
6. Sarah Jane
7. Donna Noble
8. Clara Oswald
I'm assuming you mainly started watching after 2005...?
+Just D8vid2 That would be a wise assumption
River song was never really a companion though she just appeared in loads of episodes
River sucks
+The Nerd View Review she had her moments.... But I wouldn't include her because she wasn't a companion.. She was just there
I honestly do not understand why some people here hate Rose as a companion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but personally I think she was one of the best.
She helped relaunch the series and both her and David Tennant as the Doctor was the highlight of the series for me. You could see much more complicated storylines and matters that actually made you think when they were on the show.
Plus it's quite obvious she was a fairly good companion for she won the biggest poll ever done for Doctor who as the favourite companion, with Sarah Jane coming a close 2nd.
And if it's the love story that's bothering some Doctor Who fans then that's a real shame because those are usually the same people who think Amy Pond was the greatest companion ever. But wasn't it Amy Pond that tried to run away with the Doctor all the time, jilting her to be husband the night before their wedding day etc. To be honest I got quite sick of the whole "girl who waited" story over and over and over again...
If I had to make this list, the order would probably be -
1- Sarah Jane
2- Rose Tyler
3- Donna Noble (who never fell in love with the Doctor so 1+ for that)
4- Rosanna
5- Martha (unfortunately a rebound girl)
And so forth.
But like I said everyone is entitled to their own opinion so my comment is just how I see things. Your opinion may differ :)
If I had to put up the list I'd do it as follows -
1) Sarah Jane
2) Rose Tyler
3) Donna Noble (Didn't fall in love with the doctor so 1+)
4) Romana
5) Martha (unfortunately a Rebound girl)
Anyway everyone is entitled to their own opinion so here's mine, feel free to express yours :)
@cryer24597 "In an online poll in late 2010 conducted by the Radio Times, with over 3,000 participants, Rose was again voted the most popular companion.[109] She retained this position in a 2013 poll conducted ahead of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary, which had over 21,000 respondents, with 25.09% of the vote."
That was the poll I was talking about although I'm pretty sure yours also exists somewhere (I've read a few polls when I got bored lol)
+cryer25497 Thanks for the information! At least Sarah Jane got the position she deserved and Rose and Donna were also up there. I should do more research next time lol :)
+Bethany “Beth” Evans Honestly, I respect your opinion but...Rose is just too bland a character for me to even moderately like. Russel treated her as the Doctor's "one true" sweetheart. The idea is...not horrible but you have to have a strong character for that to work and, me, I think Grace from the 1996 Doctor Who movie had more chemistry. She's just more interesting, had a bit of a fling with him and The Doctor basically went on his way after their meeting. You could argue that last point was "bad", but at least The Doctor didn't creepily obsess over her every time he got a new companion. Rose is basically Ace without explosives. The only reason people like her so much is that a lot of people only watch New Who and thats it. As stupid as that is (considering the classic and new show are in continuity...why would you NOT watch the classics?), you leave out many great companions like The Brigadier, Jamie, Ace, Ian, Barbara and Romana which all make Rose look even blander and more boring.
Okay putting Martha Jones at number nine is just a slap in the face. she should be in the top 4
James Logan ehhh no. She was easily the worst 10th doctor companion and she isn’t better than Amy or Sarah Jane Smith.
Orthodox plum top 4 in order rose tyler, amy pond, martha jones and then clara. But if u include jack he would bumb clara out taking 2nd with amy and martha behind him
James Logan Are you thick ? Martha made my childhood she proved herself more then any companion all thr others needed the doctor with them all tye time where as martha didnt need a baby sitter
Martha Jones rallied the world against the Master on her own a and became a legend. Also she was a doctor not a medical student.
Martha was a bit irritating though.
Sarah Jane is the perfect companion, and she is rightfully loved by the fans. After her, the next in line has to be K-9. Come on, he's K-9. Of the new ones, Rose is the best, followed by Donna Noble. Two others that were special favourites of mine were Leela and Captain Jack.
I
Y
I don’t get the hype over rose, what made her so good? I mean Rory has 10x character then she ever will
They should have included brigadier 😭😭
Yikes. The amount of people that think Rose was better than Sarah Jane actually freaks me out. Rose, originally, was the classic, down-to-earth girl. And I liked her, until Tennant came along, that is. Then, she got all loved-up and whiny and just generally annoying.
Whereas Sarah Jane, she experienced the exact same thing. Travelled with a Doctor, saw him regenerate, but never changed a bit. She stayed the funny, feisty companion that everybody knew and, I suppose, loved.
Good point
Rose wasn't my favorite companion, but I liked her. I loved how delighted she was just to be traveling. She's a great representation of the average girl (though significantly more attractive). People complain about her being lovey dovey with Tennant and say she becomes brainless (which she really doesn't) but nobody accuses David Tennant of being brainless because he's Rose Tyler's boyfriend. She's cute, funny, clever and frequently vital to making things work out. But Amy is my favorite.
i just got done with that seoson
im on clara
The people who think Rose have many very valid points but Sarah Jane is the best. They are both "normal modern for their decade" brave intelligent loyal etc. Sarah Jane just brings more. In many ways she is a bridge between different aspects of Doctor Who. She is the perfect connection between classic and modern series. She interacted onscreen with 9 Doctors in 2 different centuries. She was so good at being a companion that she became a sudo-Doctor with a sonic lipstick (driver) and companions. In this role she was the 5th best Doctor. She stayed cute forever. Above all else she is just a phone call away from Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. How did he not make this list?
What about River Song?
Donna Noble better be here, and high on the list.
She is Second
Billie Piper's Rose and Elisabeth Sladen's Sarah Jane Smith are the best companions.
Yep they are the best
River will always be my favourite and that’s all I have to say.
Watchmojo... What have you done? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?
Oh no... I hear them... They're coming... The Tumblr users... RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
lol
RUN!
Marquis de Restam Run you clever boy. And Remember
What's wrong with tumblr?
Marquis de Restam funny
Alright, I think it's safe to say that Rose, the Ponds, and Clara will be on the top
josiah jenks Dang. I understand the top spot, but *GET DONNA NOBLE OFF THIS LIST!!!*
She is the WORST companion in Doctor Who History!
My favorite is Clara Oswald!! "Run... run clever boy and remember" i'll never forget ❤❤
Ok, but Rory is the best companion out of the modern ones.
Clara is second only to Adric as WORST companion, she doesn't belong on this list.
And WHERE THE HELL IS RIVER SONG?
+Linda de Montaigu River is definitely the worst campanion ever.
dragons123ism
River Song is awesome. Like I said. Adric is by far the worst, then Clara, then Turlough
+Linda de Montaigu I'm of course exaggerating, I don't think she's the worst but I just found her annoying and I don't know why everyone seems to like her.
Clara is a good person river song Amy pond rose Tyler Martha Jones and dona noble ☺️
Stop Crying about Clara already.
Squidward:
Everyone's a Critic...
Donna Noble by a mile
Martha was a bloody real doctor and saved the doctor so many times yet so many of these bimbos are ahead of her?
Fake Name I think Martha was way better than Rose.
same tbh
iSimplyDontLag Totally agree. Her rating should behave been higher. At least she made the list.
Are u kidding? Rose, Donna,Sarah Jane, Amy are (i think) a bit more important to the doctor because honestly the doctor had a lot more adventures than w/ Martha
yyyyeeeeeesssssss
So happy Elizabeth Sladen was number one
Sorry, but I thought Donna Noble was an awful companion.
+Zecele couldn't agree with you more.
Honestly, Donna is probably my favorite Revival Companion. She was very compassionate, challenged the Doctor far more than the other Nu Companions, and Doctor Donna was awesome. I still despise the end of Journey's End and what happened to her in End of Time.
I loved her. I thought that she was hilarious!
I don't know maybe it's because I was never a fan of the actress.
Matthew Cavalier Also, this was the first revival companion not to fall in love with the Doctor, YEAH!
Martha is so underrated
No she was awful
And i don't like rose, so don't even try calling me a fanboy (I've heard that argument too many times to count) Martha was basically the love sick puppy who tried to act bada** but ended up being so cringy. In my opinion Donna was the best, but that's just me
+Hannah Hall NOt as underrated as poor Nyssa
+Hannah Hall Martha is my least favourite from new series. And that is because she was too perfect as a person. No flaws at all.
Same! I absolutely positively hated Donna and Martha! They just annoyed me. Rose is my favorite companion on the face of the earth (and every other planet and dimension)!
“The plucky young girl that helps me out”
“I’ll pluck you in a minute”
Just for this Donna should be number 1
How does the logic of Harkness not work on Sarah... Also Martha should be wayyyyy up there...
because Sarah had 3.5 seasons in classic who and travelled with 2 doctors
I personally think that all of the companions were great… but seriously tho where is river?
i think she is classed as a supporting side character
same but she wasn't really a companion we didn't really get to see them travel together so i guess they just excluded her like jack harkness
If she qualifies or not she is definitely my favorite non doctor of all of them.
My list:
1. Rose (obviously!)
2. Donna
3. Sarah Jane
4. Clara
5. Romana II
6. Martha
7. Amy
8. River
9. Rory
10. Susan
YASSSSSS!!!! I love Rose!
+Madeline Brink What about Ace?
same here
+TheWizardRises that is your opinion, this is mine and quite a few other people's as well. :)
Love your list. I almost think the same.
WatchMojo.com I really think you made a huge mistake by not having Rose Tyler as number 1.
+Cryer24597 I think Sarah Jane deserves the number one spot but honestly majority of the fans doesn't think that comment is wrong. Rose is hugely loved and have ended up on the top spot on several big polls.
Cryer24597
I know Sarah Jane won that, I didn't say anything different. But for example looking at other big polls and the comments thread here, there are a lot of "Rose should've been number one" and there are more Rose love than hate. So no I'm not incorrect in stating that "majority" of the fans doesn't disagree with that comment. A huge part probably does, but majority no, I'd say the fanbase is fairly split on that subject. And it changes all the time.
+Nick Marsala i agree soon much with you. but martha shouldn't even be on the list. seriously rose got stuck in a parallel universe and the doctors hearts got broken and she still expects the doctor to love her
Rose was rubbish she relied on the doctor waaaaaaay to much and the whole lovey thing was just stupid as could you imagine rose snogging the 12th doctor?
+Nick Marsala NO no Rose is #2, Amy and Rory are #1
River doesent even get a honorable mention
Martha Jones deserved to be higher on the list
Martha was great
Yeah, I agree. She is one that I keep thinking of when I think of Doctor Who. I think Clara Oswald should have been higher as well. She is my personal favourite!
Christina Nightraven I know! She so cool!
She is underappreciated simply because she wasn't Rose but I don't think she can top Jamie McCrimmon
I agree she was underrated, but the fact that she was in love with him brings her down a bit for me...I was so sick of that shit with Rose. Donna still remains my favorite companion from the modern era, because there was not an inkling of romantic interest in him. She was so far the only modern companion (excluding a few one offs) to act like an actual classic era companion) In fact in a lot of ways she reminded me of an older version of Ace.
rose was always my favorite
YESS!!!
I agree with this list. Though I expected Rose to be at #2. I knew Sarah Jane HAD to be at #1! Was disappointed, though, that K-9 didn't even get an honorable mention! I know he was "just a tin dog," but he was loyal, and I loved him best.
Melissa Lawson K.9 should defininetly be in the top 10 Doctor Who companions
Melissa you read my mind !!! + 1000 !!!
LadyArachnea - But no k9 no Nyssa no Leala ( I know she was in the honourable mentions but it's not the same ) but at least there was Ace my personal favorite .
Wilfred was my favorite, even if he wasn't a proper companion.

Rose
Donna
Martha

+Ghostboy007 River was never a companion.

***** ya, just looked at their channel saw Rose, clicked in the video, then flipped out!! I didn't even know I'd see something Doctor who related, I was just bored
sad isn't it
Same ! Was so happy
Amy is my all time favorite!!!
Generally series 5,6 and 7 with Eleven, Rory and Amy is my favorite series of them all!! I loved Matt Smith's version of the doctor, he really did a good job!
Amy, Rory and Eleven will always be my Doctor and Companions. and of course River Song :D
As David and his companions will always be my doctor and companions. Matt Smith's run really ruined the whole experience for me. I could say that maybe I just grew up but after re-watching series 1-4 again I realised that the show just became too childish.
That just show how different people are :D It still amazes me that people can have so different opinions :D Because Matt was the only reason I got into watching Doctor Who :D
+Kira Jeppesen Yes! I think that has a major part in our opinions though. The first Doctor you watch is the only Doctor you know so every other version of him will just seem odd and different to you.
sames she was amazing
The 1st doctor I saw was Tom Baker, no companion can hold a torch to Lis Sladens Sarah-Jane Smith. Rose Tyler shouldn't even be mentioned as she is easily the worst
Watch Mojo: Susan foreman's one of the only relatives of the doctor
Jenny: am i a joke to you?
My favorite companion is Rose Tyler and my favorite my favorite doctor is the 10th ☄🌙
Bella Vera that’s what my cousin said. He only watched one episode of DW.
I was like really surprised you didn't even put River Song in the honorable mentions at least. She was an amazing companion and has an amazing story. Very disappointing that you didn't have her apart of this list.
She did have her moments but she was just there. Not as a companion, but s passenger. Not much screen time or adventures
Dai Lo I think it depends on how you judge a companion. Some, especially newer viewers, tend to only consider the main "2nd character/lead" as the companion. But when you look at the Classic series, especially the first two doctors, there are so many companions that only traveled from one story to another - heck, some even had the misfortune to only appear in episodes that are lost now. It would be unfair to not include them as companions though, so Characters like Mickey, Jack and River are also considered as companions.
Since River did travel with the Tardis, I think she can be considered as companion. I would've raised a bigger eyebrow on the Victorian Trio, as they never traveled with the Tardis (on show at least), but since I tend to enjoy them most out of Moffat's writing, I probably would've let it pass XD
Dai Lo She didn't do anything? She married the doctor and tried to kill him plus she is Amy Pond's daughter.
I agree, like she was the doctors wife!
River song doesn't really qualify as a companion. Besides, she's a horrible character.
Roses are red
The TARDIS is blue
Stetsons and fezzes are cool
And bowties are too
yes they are, and the doctors all the way back to second (and even 1st on occasion) agrees with you! Go look at 2nd and 3rd, bow ties have been cool for a LONG time!!
For me Donna was such a great companion!
I enjoyed every single moment she spent with the doctor, they sublimate each other I've never laugh so much in these episodes! She didn't need to prove anything to the Doctor, they were just perfect partners.
I miss those two so much!
before starting this list, i want to say I cannot stand Clara. I don't know if shes on here, but i bet she will be.
+ninjarai001 Kill Clara
SCP 049 not to fond but it was nice how they put her in before she stayed on the show
R.I.P Sarah Jane
Sarah Jane Smith will always be the number 1 companion in all of Doctor Who!
Sarah Jane deserves first place. But my favorite is by far Donna. I loved her so much
Sarah Jane better be on number 1.
I'm guessing you made this comment before watching the video.
Everyone knew Sarah Jane was number one
Talha Masood she should be excluded for the same reason as Captain Jack Harkness
ThePrenti I disagree. While both had spin-offs, Sarah Jane is more associated with Doctor Who than her own series. Sarah Jane Smith makes me think Classic Who. Captain Jack makes me think of Torchwood.
+Janet Gatz Agreed. While I would be much more content had Jack taken one of the mediocre characters' spots on the list, namely Martha or Clara, the reason he isn't on the list is perfectly reasonable.
also Martha should be higher up! Not number 9 wth
god, i fucking hate how convoluted Clara's story is. thanks for ruining everything moffat.
Pretty sure he's doing it on purpose.. In my opinion they have Clara be like that because of her ending in the future or maybe for a future companion that will cover her failures.
I give Sarah respect for being around for a long time. But Martha should've been number 2.
I like Martha. But she’s no Rose.
She was SO dull
I like martha but shes no donner

Donna was the reason I stopped watching Doctor Who
John Lightfoot she was the best companion and the saddest ending for a companion
She is also my favorite, I just love her! 😅
Noah Nedelkovski rose is my favorite
she was my favourite
~I am a classic Who fan - and to me Leela, Sarah Jane Smith and the Romana's are at the top of the tree.
I am also a Classic Who child, my viewing tenure starting with the tail end of Pertwee's reign... My faves tho include Jamie, Zoe, Victoria*, Jo, Tegan & Ace, with it being very difficult to ignore nearly all of the other classic-era companions bar a couple of ringers [Adric, Turlough & Mel for example IMO].
[*Victoria only really makes my list when I look at her as a combination alongside Troughton & Jamie].
I think Jo grant would be up there on the list
In that order.
LOVE THIS COMMENT!!
Doctor: It's either Romana or FRED!
Romana: Alright.. Call me Fred.
Doctor: Good... Come on Romana.
Wha about brigadier bruh❤️❤️
Martha, Amy, Rose, Donna and Clara are all my favorite, I've only seen the modern day DW. They've all had sad goodbyes.
The Doctor needs a talking dog. Everyone loves a talking dog.
+Merrick McFarling I'm not sure Scooby-Doo would be all that helpful. XD
+Merrick McFarling YOU MAKE ME LOOK BAD
.........did someone just say.......... K9??!!!
yeah, that would be awesome! K9 was a little bit.
+Merrick McFarling LMAO K9! haha thats who should have been the #1 companion
Well, what's about River Song? She travelled with the Doctor LOTS of times, and she isn't even mentioned here!
Rose- the girl who he fell in love with and made him better after his bitterness after the war the love of his lifetime THE rose tyler.. Bad wolf
Martha- the girl who saved the doctor and saved herself
Donna- the doctor's best friend and the most important woman the doctor donna
Amy- the doctor's friend and the one who saved him the smartest girl , the girl who didn't make sense. The girl who waited
Rory- the bravest best man and the last centurion and the man who loved the most
River- the second love of his life the child of the tardis the woman that killed the doctor, the woman that married him and the woman that would rather have time collapse than kill him
Clara- the impossible girl. The girl he should remember
I liked the first Romana far better played by the late Mary Tamm. The other one was cute too. Nothing against her.
Agreed.
Tom Baker married Lalla Ward (romana ii) in 1980 sadly they weren't married long they divorced in 1982.
I loved Clara! I just didn’t understood why some people didn’t like her...
Season 8 thats why
And 7, and 9.
Moffat basically
Quackson_Stan _ cause she’s annoying
I liked Clara at first, but then she got too dam bossy.
I loved Donna to pieces
Wilfred is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not a companion!
@@julieeverett7442 Not as a regular companion, but he was a companion for Tenth's 2-part finale.
@@AndrewChapman ok one of the earth bound companions, like the UNIT crew in classic
Why wasnt K-9 on the List?!?!!?
ThatOneKyleDude Right? He deserves an honorable mention at least! K-9 was one of my favorite characters on the show. I was so sad when they killed him and so happy when the Doctor brought him back!
IKR.
So was i scotx
ThatOneKyleDude Non-human!
ThatOneKyleDude Knock Donna off, bumb Sarah down one and put K9 at #1
Then you have the perfect list xD
Man, I always hated Amy Pond. Not sure why.
Same
Shouldn't have changed her name from Amelia, silly pond
Unchained With The Captain Same i could never really put my finger on it but i did hate her scream omg so irritating.
Rory was much better and should have made the list instead
She's a bitch! The way she treats Rory pisses me off.
+Unchained With The Captain me too, I think it was her constant attitude that she knew everything and she knew what she was doing and didn't quite start off with the confused 'what's going on' story like most other companions and therefore didn't really have much character development in the sense of growing like Rose did (I'm biased, Rose Tyler is my favourite). I didn't like Amy alone but I loved her and Rory as a couple companion.
I think they should of included brigadier in this list
agreed
Chap with wings there, five rounds rapid
