@@MichaelM28 I've seen near enough all of classic who smart arse. I love lots of different groups in the tardis. Eleven, Amy and Rory was the first time in the revived show I connected to a tardis team as Ten never did it for me. Just because my favourite doesn't match yours don't assume you know my tenure as a fan because I've been watching for a very long time. We all connect with different Doctors/Companions for different reasons, it's all good.
I never got so moved by any companion's departure more than when the Ponds ended. Dude, literally every time I cry. I love Clara and 12, I even enjoy 10's family, but somehow the Ponds just speak to me like none of the others did. I get you man.
@@tanislater6845 I think they did a really great job with that team of showing what a family they became. Helps that they were around for so long by NuWho standards. Also in character they travelled with the Doctor for 10 years of their lives approximately. I just think from beginning to end it's a very beautiful and tragic story.
yes please. wilf, graham and grace. juxtaposed with captain jack and river song. Where they are all interchanging every few episodes, now that would be a series worth checking out. yeah idk now well they would gel together but oh baby,
The 2nd Doctor with Jamie and Zoe are the best S class! Zoe is smart and capable and usually helps, sure she screams sometimes but that’s the era. She even helps the Doctor more than most companions of the era. Jamie is strong, courageous, loyal till the end. And he is smart but usually ignorant of thing or concepts at first.. because he is from the 17th century. But once things are explained to him, he understands enough of the situation. He is so protective of his Tardis team no matter who he is with, I honestly feel he would give his life to save anyone weather it’s Polly, Victoria, Zoe, or even Ben and the Doctor.
Hell yes. 12 and Clara are my favourite TARDIS team too. I thought I would never love a TARDIS team as much as The Doctor and Donna but I think Capaldi and Coleman did it even more for me.
I know this vid is old but for me 12 + Clara is definitely the best team. They have one of the best dynamics I’ve ever seen in media. The fact that they turned it into a practically toxic relationship was a genius move. The Doctor tortured himself for billions of years cause he failed her. Making them potentially “the hybrid” was really smart on Moffat’s part.

Clara and 12. It makes me so happy how much you love Clara and 12 as much as I do. My friends say I’m crazy. Also, to their commenters: your hatred only fuels me.
I loved 12 and Clara. I thought the development of her character in combination with Peter Capaldi's take on the doctor was unlike anything we've seen before
Tahlia Essai I don't think she had character development personally and I think she's to much like a cyberman has no personality and is always the centre of attention which shouldn't be the case and when the doctor brought her back to break the laws of time and had no reprocussions except for losing his memory and then gaining it back.I don't get why out of everyone he would pick Clara I didn't feel any connection between them 2 personally
1: 11, Amy and Rory (just so fricking genuine, love the relationship) 2: 9, Rose and Jack (UNDERRATED, just so enthusiastic together, close to 1 but 11s team lasted longer) 3: 10 and Donna (No explanation needed) 4: 12 and Clara (Perfect Duo) 5: 10, Rose and Mickey. 5: 10 and Martha 6: 12, Bill and Nardole 7: 11 and Clara 8: 13, Ryan, Yaz and Graham (they would used to be higher but after Jack returned recently, just being JACK, it made me realise how little I feel for them all, even Graham, because Jack glizzened with character which really made them all stand out like a sore thumb)
I love 11 and the Ponds and 10 and Donna, but I really do think 12 and Clara have so much development with each over Seasons 8 and 9. They have so much chemistry and I think Clara is the only companion the Doctor has ever and will never go as far to protect as in Hell Bent.
You're one of the good ones. Always remember that she has been the Doctor's companion for the majority of his lives and there in the most important moments.
If I was writing the Rose and Martha era, all the romance/love triangle stuff would be removed in favor of more Jack, oh and Martha would've used her medical skills more often and not bizarrely turned into a soldier...
I've only been around for New Who so here's my tier list S Tier 9 + Rose 10 + Donna 10 + Wilfred 11 + Amy, Rory & River 12 + Clara A Tier 10 + Martha 11 + Clara B Tier 10 + Rose 12 + Bill C Tier 13 + Yaz, Ryan & Graham
Ya. Hey, if anyone's interested, I'm reviewing all the Doctor Who stories on my channel, with me just having upload my review of: 'Carnival Of Monsters (1973)!' No pressure, of-course; Just if you're interested! :)
10th and Donna, how is this even a question? He's brilliant and she's fucking magnificent. They are just two mates in space. I will admit, Clara and 12th are very close to being perfect, like absolutely perfect but here's the thing, nobody can beat Donna Noble.
4 and Romana is without a doubt my favourite. This is the only time the Doctor has truly had an equal. They play off each other so well. Romana has a lot of the book smarts whereas the Doctor has a lot of the street/universe smarts. The Doctor showed Romana the universe and it makes so much sense in the E-Space arc why she doesn’t want to go back to Gallifrey. They were a perfect pair.
@@brickerytickerybuilder1111 um Jamie has the highest story/episode count of ANY companion in who history 22 stories 118 episodes, the only one who comes close is the brig, with sarah just behind them! What are you talking about!!!!
@@julieeverett7442 I think ur missing the joke of the fact when the time lords sent them back they only remembered their first adventure with the doctor
12 and Clara for sure. They're lucky to have had such a length of time to develop their friendship and their understandings of each other. Clara pushes him, and he pushes her - first for the better, and then to this zany codependency that you want to root for but you know is bad for them both. And, unlike their other analog, 10 and Donna, the Doctor does face the consequences of his own actions. It's funny, they both develop into each other - Clara into the Doctor, quick thinking and willing to sacrifice herself for others, and 12 into Clara (at the end of Season 8), allowing his love and recklessness to overwhelm him. In terms of which is more dangerous with their memories in tact, that's clearly on 12, and I'm grateful Moffat stuck the landing and ensured his memories were wiped, not hers. It's insane how the Doctor/Clara dynamic grew from a pretty trite take (11 and Clara being kind of, not really, flirty, with some just inappropriate and unwanted comments like the skirt deal) to one of the deepest and most nuanced in the series, and one which really valued the female companion as a person with agency and deserving of respect.
1. Hartnell, Vicki, Ian and Barbara 2. Smith, Amy, Rory, River 3. Eccleston, Jack, Rose, and Mickey 4. Troughton, Ben, Polly, Jamie 5. Hartnell, Susan, Ian and Barbara 6. Tennant, Martha and Jack 7. Pertwee, Jo, Brigadier, Benton and Yates (Technically not a TARDIS team but oh well) 8. Davison, Tegan, Nyssa and Turlough 9. Capaldi, Bill and Nardole 10. Baker, Sarah Jane and Harry
Personally, I enjoyed Bill & Nardole's run with the Twelfth Doctor more than his run with Clara impart for your reasoning that it brought the best out of Twelfth but also because I probably enjoyed Bill's character way more than most people, albeit I wish their run was longer so we could get attached as you said and tie up loose ends like who her Mum was in the Whoniverse Edit: Also Missy is technically a part of the Series 10 TARDIS Team
Ian, Barbara, and Vicki are the best TARDIS team. No matter what scenario they find themselves in, the cast has such magnetic chemistry that you can't help but be entertained and enthralled.
I sadly never watched the classic era 10 and donna: Favourite doctor, favourite companion. But that doesn't feel like the perfect team. 11 and ponds: Feels like a family the doctor never had in that way. Always help each other but there is something better. 12 and clara: It can't be better. Like you said. It feels like clara is THE companion. They have this "addiction" for adventures. They really love it. I know every team does that but just look at the end of series 8 xmas special. They also have the good cop bad cop thing which is.. interesting. They are both clever. Clara feels a bit like another doctor in fact. Sorry for my bad english. I'm german
The Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald are absolutely the best in my opinion. Their relationship and their characters - as you said - is incredibly nuanced, and they are so captivating as a duo and complement each other extremely well.
Clara Oswald and the 13th Doctor ("All twelve of them." "No sir. All THIRTEEN!") would have been brilliant if not for one problem. Peter Capaldi. You read that correctly. Peter Capaldi was the only problem. Swap him with John Hurt and the Doctor and Clara's relationship would have been perfect. This is a unique case of two potentially fantastic Doctors simply being in the wrong places in the timeline. Capaldi was much better suited to the 9th Doctor than the 13th and I could easily imagine him sending Daleks to hell in the Time War. We might have even been able to actually watch him do it in Day of the Doctor because Capaldi still had the stamina to pull off action scenes. John Hurt was brilliant as 9 but didn't get enough screen time and would have been even better as 13. He knew the difference between a tired old man who's just done with life and a sociopathic asshole who takes out his problems on his "carer". For example, if Hurt was delivering the "You let me down" speech, he would have said it with quiet disappointment, not hypocritical rage. And yes, that speech WAS hypocritical because 13 had been letting Clara down for the entire Season. However, if Hurt was doing that scene, there would have been some self-awareness about the part he played in pushing Clara to the point of betraying him.
Imho, it's 10 and Donna bc they had an amazing chemistry of best friend. Not too complicated, no love triangles, no mentoring, just simply friends. It's really fun how Donna can put 10 down to earth without trying to dominate him. It's just fun to see just normal mates traveling around time and space
I like the rival dynamic between Romana and 4th because most doctors just explain and lead but with someone similar to him, constantly clashing, made them perfect.
@@RG-ew1zz Yeah well, new who is more well-made than that black and white stuff anyway. I snoozed my way through a couple of old who episodes. The dialogue is bland and the characters are one-dimensional.
Romana II (Time Lady) and #4. Great companion and equal. Romana II was basically the first female doctor and it worked fantastically! They were almost like brother and sister, each knowing the other too well to let them get away with too much. It's refreshing and fun to see them playing off of each other even these days after we have seen so much.
You’ve got options my guy! I think an audio called ‘Memory Lane’ is a great start for him. But there’s the Lucie Miller run, (start on Blood of the Daleks) the Charley run (Storm Warning onwards) and the Time War series. Pick any, can’t go wrong. Charley’s my favourite, but the Time War stuff I know is great for revival fans.
Honestly I freaking love the TARDIS team in Series 10. You've got Bill, who's a huuuuge palate cleanser after Clara Oswald (She's just so attached to the Doctor that it's infuriating don't @ me). Bill is having the time of her live in the TARDIS but is still willing to tell at the Doctor's face when he needs it. Then you've got Nardole. He was the original companion to Professor Doctor (what I call Series 10 12th Doctor) and he's always been willing to put him in his place. But at the same time he can just be freaking hilarious. He may have technically been the comic relief character, but there's more to him than just that. Even Missy has a compelling arc. World Enough and Time/ The Doctor Falls felt like such a payoff to her arc in Series 10. She finally got to be considered a real companion. Finally, Professor Doctor. This is easily the best version of the 12th Doctor and, in my opinion, maybe even the best we've seen of the Doctor in the revived era. He's kind and is finally shown having the time of his life in the TARDIS (both things this version arguably has over series 8 & 9). It's the final chapter in the 12th Doctor's arc of learning kindness and friendliness. Again, this is just such a palate cleanser after the last 2 seasons. The 12th Doctor basically got better and better with each season he was in.
@@onthepalehorse Just not my thing. She kinda grated on me and I really disliked the "let's insert her into every important moment in the doctors history thing". Plus Moffat just couldn't let her go, it was so tedious.
Suprateek Nag she's boring has no personality and is used as plot device and always argues with the doctor I don't see the big love for Clara I literally can't name one character trait she has except saying run u clever boy
12 and Clara deepened my emotional investment in this show to its current unhealthy extent. I'm not sure if it's the characters, or just that Coleman and Capaldi play off each other so well. Clara helped me understand 12 better, and 12 helped me understand Clara better. They were fun and funny together, but they also had more emotional depth and complexity than I honestly ever expected from a doctor-companion duo. There are other teams I loved: 9, Jack and Rose chief among them. Of course 10 and Wilfred.
oh my god i wrote this just before watching the video and I'm so used to people having mixed (or negative) feelings about Clara as a companion you unapologetically saying exactly what I've always thought took me so off guard i'm shook. surprise validation is a rare and amazing thing
I'd pick the 10 and Donna, but your comments on 12 and Clara are really winning me over on those two...PLEASE please do a video focusing on those two, their relationship, and why series 8 and 9 isn't as bad as people say!!!!
One of my favourite TARDIS Teams comes between "The Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan" and "The Doctor, Vicki and Steven". I got through the first episodes of Doctor Who because of Ian and it took until 'The Aztecs' for me to really like Barbara. For me the only things holding it back were the Doctor, but mostly Susan. She never grew on me so the emotional impact from her departure, mostly came for the fact that this was the first time the TARDIS Team changed. Then they got Vicki who was literally meant to be a Susan 2.0. Apparently the producers wanted her to dye her hair black to make her resemble Susan more. The actress refused, and instead suggested the alternative of getting Carole Ann Ford back. So she did her own thing, and for me Vicki is how Susan should have been and her first episode as a companion 'The Romans' also contains some of my favourite First Doctor moments. Now I consider that episode to be the moment where I started to love the First Doctor too. The chemistry between all four is great and by themselves they also all stand their ground. When Ian and Barbara were replaced by Steven something got lost, but I'll always look back at that group as one of the best TARDIS Teams. *SIKE!* If you can put random 'A Town Called Mercy' dude up there I'm choosing the Kandyman. *Kandyman, Best TARDIS Team!*
Sam: says 5, Tegan, Nyssa, and Adric are trash. Me: *holding back tears and anger because I’d just finished watching Season 19 and fell in love with all of them but knowing full well that he’s completely right.* Okay. No, that’s fine. I understand.
The Fourth Doctor and Romana. They constantly bounced off of each other making them very amusing to watch and Romana wasn't stupid when it came to aliens. She was like the Captain Jack Harkness of the classic era
For me, the best Tardis Teams are the ones that feel like family, and I only got that family feeling twice: with the Ponds and with Donna and Ten and Wilfred, because I felt his relationship with the Doctor as part of Ten&Donna. So, for me Ten, Donna and Wilfred and Eleven with the Ponds (River included) are a tie. Maybe the Ponds are a little bit higher, but it’s still hard to decide.
My favourite team is One, Ian, Barbara and Vicki. Although thats mainly just for One and Vicki. For the first time the doctor has an equal, someone who is both able to keep up with the doctor and won't follow his instructions blindly, which was Susan's problem. On top of that she actually feels like she wants to be there, something that is quite rare for the first doctors run. For the first time it feels like the doctor has a friend, rather than an obligation. I think this is shown best at the end of The Chase, after Ian and Barbara leave and Vicki does the Donna thing of claiming she'll never leave. (Sidenote; Vicki should've stayed on til Dalek Master Plan and taken Katrina's place as the one who dies. I haven't watched the myth makers yet but it would've been a perfect exit for her, she never wanted to leave so her leaving out of her own volition feels wrong. On top of that The Doctor's first true friend also being the first companion to die, and at the hands of the daleks!? Its just *chef's kiss*)
Listen when Susan is done right, there's no topping her- but this comment won me over on prioritising Vicki. Everyone's also just a bit more fun by that season.
If i had to choose the best one purely out of potential and what could have been, I would say Season 10's team of Bill, Nardole and Missy. There's so many directions to take with each character. It's not like season 6 where Rory only existed to question the doctor every now and again with really no depth, Season 10 had 3 completely different companions that did seem to work well together. The beginning of World Enough and Time is the perfect example of this. You could explore Nardole's interesting.... past and how he challenges the Doctor. Why he's so strict about Missy. You could explore Bill's student-teacher relationship with The Doctor. You could carry her on as a Cyberman, although i'm glad they didn't because Bill would rather die than live on as a Cyberman and forcing her to do another set of adventures would probably be torture for Bill. But it'd be nice to have Capaldi guide Bill to accepting who she is now, while still honouring who she used to be. You could explore everything with Missy. I don't think i need to even say how she could be used. I did love Amy and Rory, but i grew to find Amy annoying because they couldn't decide if she was "Innocent fairytale girl" or "badass, no bullshit woman". You can see that in the Season 6 finale especially. I think Danny and Clara should've been the 2 companions for Season 9, rather than killing Danny off so early on. Let Clara's overconfidence come from the fact that she believes she's invincible with Danny, rather than her grief over Danny being what pushed her. There are so many underused companions in Doctor Who. -Bill, but Pearl Mackie specifically, was so underrused in Season 10. Lie of the Land and The Doctor Falls proves that she's a spectacular actress but she wasn't given much depth until the last few episodes. -Wilf. We all know how great Wilfred was. Donna owned Season 4, but i wouldn't say she needed more. Wilfred was just such a good parallel to the Doctor. -Graham. While his performance isn't the greatest, i'm actually really invested in his character. His wanting to be a father in Season 11, his struggles with illness in Season 12, his anger over his wife's death. It's all just so good that i think it's a real shame he's leaving so soon. I've always said that Season 11 should've been only 13 and Graham. It would've been a really interesting role reversal. Plus it would make the gags where people think Graham is the doctor funnier. -Handles. Just the idea of a companion that isn't a 16-25 year old woman from England is really appealing to me. I want a companion who sees the universe in a different way to everyone else. If i had to choose one Tardis team to watch forever, It would either be 13 and Graham (Hypothetically), 10 and Donna, or 12, Bill and Nardole.
I Think, the Doctor and Nardole! I'm serious, I mean Bill joined the crew pretty quick after, but Nardole was there for the Doctor, after he lost River forever. Which they never quite conveyed on the show, but I think, there are quite a few untold stories and adventures with just the two of them, which were very deep and meaningful...
Ok but imagine this: Seven, Ace, Wilf, Graham and (sometimes) Jack, going around the galaxy blowing bad guys up with their intellect, nitro-9 and paintball shots. (Oh and Graham's gun)

10 and Wilf. I will hear nothing further on the issue.
No, but 10 and Donna
I 100% agree
I came here to mention the Best Tardis Team was 10 and Wilf :D
Willimations 10 and Wilf are the best lol. But yes they rule
I loved wilf, crazy seeing the doctor with someone with the same name as me. He was great.
Can we all just agree that Bernard Cribbins can come back whenever he likes
Donna and 10.
While Clara and 12 were probably my emotional favourite and taught me what Doctor Who was really about,
Donna and 10 and simply what a tardis team SHOULD be. Two best buddies having wacky space adventures, After 3 seasons of new who companions "in love" with the doctor. Donna finally shows us what a companion SHOULD be.
But, gotta admit. Low key loved how watching Peri and 6 adventures I always kinda thought the Doctor might strangle Peri at any give moment, just saying....
Why Clara? She is just an annoying character, I don't know why she is soo important .
She didn't mesh well with 11 but she was pretty good with 12
In Big Finish, 6 and Peri have great banter. Theyre relationship goes from toxic arguing on TV to funny bickering in the audios
Pick:10 and Donna
Fav:10 and Wilfred

Eleven, Amy and Rory with occasional appearances by River will always be my team, love that era so fucking much
Probably because you haven't seen many other eras

Meh McGee I disagree
THE DOCTOR DONNA
Such an iconic duo, The doctor changes Donna to be such a good person and they work so well together
"Only judging these based on the tv appearances."
Proceeds to rank comic and audio exclusive companions.

i get it with the eighth doctor but when they used 11's comic companions i was like whyy
Capaldi, Wilf, Graham and Grace.
I’m not saying that would work great, but I want to see it to know for sure.
yes please. wilf, graham and grace. juxtaposed with captain jack and river song. Where they are all interchanging every few episodes, now that would be a series worth checking out. yeah idk now well they would gel together but oh baby,
Or just a spin-off called the Graham and Wilf Adventures.
The 2nd Doctor with Jamie and Zoe are the best S class!
Zoe is smart and capable and usually helps, sure she screams sometimes but that’s the era. She even helps the Doctor more than most companions of the era.
Jamie is strong, courageous, loyal till the end. And he is smart but usually ignorant of thing or concepts at first.. because he is from the 17th century. But once things are explained to him, he understands enough of the situation. He is so protective of his Tardis team no matter who he is with, I honestly feel he would give his life to save anyone weather it’s Polly, Victoria, Zoe, or even Ben and the Doctor.
SirMeowsAlot89 I agree the most underrated tardis team
12 and Clara were just so good together that I'll give them a slight edge over the Ponds (of which I include River Song).
12 was better with Missy, Nardole and Bill, he was.
The real best Tardis team was the friends we made along the way
Clara + 12 and Donna + 10 are both my all time favorites and I genuinely cannot pick one over the other, they're practically perfect in my eyes
That’s exactly what I wanted to write
This is it, chief
Hell yes. 12 and Clara are my favourite TARDIS team too. I thought I would never love a TARDIS team as much as The Doctor and Donna but I think Capaldi and Coleman did it even more for me.
My own contenders are:
5, Peri and Erimen
7, Ace and Hex
Bill, 12, Missy and Nardole
3, Jo and the Master
Me and Cake
12 was better with Missy, Nardole and Bill, he was.
5 and Perimem are goals!
ok thats interesting!
I know this vid is old but for me 12 + Clara is definitely the best team. They have one of the best dynamics I’ve ever seen in media. The fact that they turned it into a practically toxic relationship was a genius move. The Doctor tortured himself for billions of years cause he failed her. Making them potentially “the hybrid” was really smart on Moffat’s part.
Late to this but they’re just SO good. No Doctor companion romance should ever be attempted again tbh

2nd Doctor with Jamie and Zoe is the best Tardis Team ever!!
I'd love to see you do an analysis on A.I Artificial Intelligence (My favourite film of all time)
1: 11, Amy and Rory (just so fricking genuine, love the relationship)
2: 9, Rose and Jack (UNDERRATED, just so enthusiastic together, close to 1 but 11s team lasted longer)

5: 10, Rose and Mickey.
5: 10 and Martha
6: 12, Bill and Nardole
7: 11 and Clara
8: 13, Ryan, Yaz and Graham (they would used to be higher but after Jack returned recently, just being JACK, it made me realise how little I feel for them all, even Graham, because Jack glizzened with character which really made them all stand out like a sore thumb)
Amy and Rory: the worst; he's fine, she's not nice to him.
I love 11 and the Ponds and 10 and Donna, but I really do think 12 and Clara have so much development with each over Seasons 8 and 9. They have so much chemistry and I think Clara is the only companion the Doctor has ever and will never go as far to protect as in Hell Bent.
You're one of the good ones. Always remember that she has been the Doctor's companion for the majority of his lives and there in the most important moments.
My favorites are 9, Rose Tyler, and Captain Jack & 10, Martha, and Captain Jack. Can you guess what connects both?
the tardis
If I was writing the Rose and Martha era, all the romance/love triangle stuff would be removed in favor of more Jack, oh and Martha would've used her medical skills more often and not bizarrely turned into a soldier...
I think soldier Martha was badass.
I've only been around for New Who so here's my tier list
S Tier
9 + Rose
10 + Donna
10 + Wilfred
11 + Amy, Rory & River

Hey, if anyone's interested, I'm reviewing all the Doctor Who stories on my channel, with me just having upload my review of: 'Carnival Of Monsters (1973)!' No pressure, of-course; Just if you're interested! :)
My all time fav is the combination of Jack, Martha and the Doctor (And sometimes only Martha and the Doctor) - Really felt for them.
Two, Jamie and Zoe.
When I ask myself which team I want to see more adventures with, this is the easy answer.
10th and Donna, how is this even a question? He's brilliant and she's fucking magnificent. They are just two mates in space. I will admit, Clara and 12th are very close to being perfect, like absolutely perfect but here's the thing, nobody can beat Donna Noble.
4 and Romana is without a doubt my favourite.
This is the only time the Doctor has truly had an equal. They play off each other so well. Romana has a lot of the book smarts whereas the Doctor has a lot of the street/universe smarts. The Doctor showed Romana the universe and it makes so much sense in the E-Space arc why she doesn’t want to go back to Gallifrey. They were a perfect pair.
I have to say an equal tie for first place with:
Doctor, Zoe and Jamie
And
Doctor and Donna
Rob Vegas those characters only knew the doctor for one episode, what are you talking about?
@@brickerytickerybuilder1111 the second dr episodes from the 1968-69 and the tenth Dr with donna in 2008
me too
@@brickerytickerybuilder1111 um Jamie has the highest story/episode count of ANY companion in who history 22 stories 118 episodes, the only one who comes close is the brig, with sarah just behind them! What are you talking about!!!!
@@julieeverett7442 I think ur missing the joke of the fact when the time lords sent them back they only remembered their first adventure with the doctor
12 and Clara for sure. They're lucky to have had such a length of time to develop their friendship and their understandings of each other. Clara pushes him, and he pushes her - first for the better, and then to this zany codependency that you want to root for but you know is bad for them both.
And, unlike their other analog, 10 and Donna, the Doctor does face the consequences of his own actions. It's funny, they both develop into each other - Clara into the Doctor, quick thinking and willing to sacrifice herself for others, and 12 into Clara (at the end of Season 8), allowing his love and recklessness to overwhelm him. In terms of which is more dangerous with their memories in tact, that's clearly on 12, and I'm grateful Moffat stuck the landing and ensured his memories were wiped, not hers.
It's insane how the Doctor/Clara dynamic grew from a pretty trite take (11 and Clara being kind of, not really, flirty, with some just inappropriate and unwanted comments like the skirt deal) to one of the deepest and most nuanced in the series, and one which really valued the female companion as a person with agency and deserving of respect.
12 and Clara are clearly the best of those five on account of the fact that they are the best over all.
Jaretia Nope.
I think Clara and 12 are the worst tardis team
1. Hartnell, Vicki, Ian and Barbara
2. Smith, Amy, Rory, River
3. Eccleston, Jack, Rose, and Mickey
4. Troughton, Ben, Polly, Jamie
5. Hartnell, Susan, Ian and Barbara
6. Tennant, Martha and Jack
7. Pertwee, Jo, Brigadier, Benton and Yates (Technically not a TARDIS team but oh well)
8. Davison, Tegan, Nyssa and Turlough
9. Capaldi, Bill and Nardole
10. Baker, Sarah Jane and Harry
Your no.7 should be in 1st place......technically a Tardis team, or no!
Personally, I enjoyed Bill & Nardole's run with the Twelfth Doctor more than his run with Clara impart for your reasoning that it brought the best out of Twelfth but also because I probably enjoyed Bill's character way more than most people, albeit I wish their run was longer so we could get attached as you said and tie up loose ends like who her Mum was in the Whoniverse
Edit: Also Missy is technically a part of the Series 10 TARDIS Team
Ian, Barbara, and Vicki are the best TARDIS team. No matter what scenario they find themselves in, the cast has such magnetic chemistry that you can't help but be entertained and enthralled.
I sadly never watched the classic era
10 and donna:
Favourite doctor, favourite companion. But that doesn't feel like the perfect team.
11 and ponds:
Feels like a family the doctor never had in that way. Always help each other but there is something better.
12 and clara:
It can't be better. Like you said. It feels like clara is THE companion. They have this "addiction" for adventures. They really love it. I know every team does that but just look at the end of series 8 xmas special. They also have the good cop bad cop thing which is.. interesting. They are both clever. Clara feels a bit like another doctor in fact.
Sorry for my bad english. I'm german
The Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald are absolutely the best in my opinion. Their relationship and their characters - as you said - is incredibly nuanced, and they are so captivating as a duo and complement each other extremely well.
Clara Oswald and the 13th Doctor ("All twelve of them." "No sir. All THIRTEEN!") would have been brilliant if not for one problem.
Peter Capaldi.
You read that correctly. Peter Capaldi was the only problem. Swap him with John Hurt and the Doctor and Clara's relationship would have been perfect. This is a unique case of two potentially fantastic Doctors simply being in the wrong places in the timeline. Capaldi was much better suited to the 9th Doctor than the 13th and I could easily imagine him sending Daleks to hell in the Time War. We might have even been able to actually watch him do it in Day of the Doctor because Capaldi still had the stamina to pull off action scenes.
John Hurt was brilliant as 9 but didn't get enough screen time and would have been even better as 13. He knew the difference between a tired old man who's just done with life and a sociopathic asshole who takes out his problems on his "carer". For example, if Hurt was delivering the "You let me down" speech, he would have said it with quiet disappointment, not hypocritical rage. And yes, that speech WAS hypocritical because 13 had been letting Clara down for the entire Season. However, if Hurt was doing that scene, there would have been some self-awareness about the part he played in pushing Clara to the point of betraying him.
Either 6th doctor and Evelyn or 6th doctor and Frobisher, 6 is my favourite so I am incredibly biased
The Doctor-Donna though. That was an epic duo, funny in just the right spots and complimenting each other so well
Pick: Amy, Rory and 11
Favourite: Amy, Rory and 11
Different Answer: 4, Romana 2 and Duggan
1.) 6 and Evelyn
2.)5 Tegan Nyssa, and Turlough(Post Cobwebs)
3.)11 and The Ponds(All 3 of them)
4.)2 Jamie and Zoe
5.)10 and Donna
The entire time I was like WTF is the guy from A Town Called Mercy doing there? 😂
Imho, it's 10 and Donna bc they had an amazing chemistry of best friend. Not too complicated, no love triangles, no mentoring, just simply friends. It's really fun how Donna can put 10 down to earth without trying to dominate him. It's just fun to see just normal mates traveling around time and space
I like the rival dynamic between Romana and 4th because most doctors just explain and lead but with someone similar to him, constantly clashing, made them perfect.
My faves are:
4 and Sarah
12 and Clara
10 and Donna
7 and Ace
11 and Ponds
THE PONDS
(My favourite is Martha and the Doctor though)
11 and the ponds and river song. I love it
I love the dynamic between 7, Mel, Ace and Glitz in Dragonfire. I wish they were together in more stories.
Clara and capldi
For me,
New: Capaldi and Clara
Classic: Tom Baker and Sarah Jane Smith or Tom Baker and Romana
Polly and Ben rock. Love Steven and Vicki too. Both teams have some of the best Big Finish stuff.
Clara is neither my favourite companion nor character but her dynamics with 12... It’s amazing
can’t believe you left out liz shaw
I would say out of those top few, 11 with Amy and Rory, but 10 and Donna still come close.
Pond (s) + Eleven is my favourite, though I too grew up with the Fifth Doctor and teams.
"Doctor Donna, oh S class" i was expecting that. Perfect
Clara and 12th are objectively the best. Don't change my mind cuz I won't.
2nd place is 12th and River Song.
Freshairkaboom Gaming obviously a new-who fan
@@RG-ew1zz Yeah well, new who is more well-made than that black and white stuff anyway. I snoozed my way through a couple of old who episodes. The dialogue is bland and the characters are one-dimensional.
Hands down Sarah and Harry. Although Harry was only there for a short time he was an excellent character well acted
Doctor and Donna. Perfect in every way.
Romana II (Time Lady) and #4.
Great companion and equal. Romana II was basically the first female doctor and it worked fantastically! They were almost like brother and sister, each knowing the other too well to let them get away with too much. It's refreshing and fun to see them playing off of each other even these days after we have seen so much.
Pick: 12 and Clara
My fave: Wilfred and 10
Wilf if amazing, and just effortlessly steals every scene he's in.
AMY
11
RORY
ARE
THE
BEST
they are a family. rory and amy are the doctors parents in law!!!!
I'd go with the ponds, as long as River is included too :)
Where can I find some of those 8 doctor storeys you mentioned, as I've always wanted to get into 8 but don't know where to start
You’ve got options my guy! I think an audio called ‘Memory Lane’ is a great start for him.
But there’s the Lucie Miller run, (start on Blood of the Daleks) the Charley run (Storm Warning onwards) and the Time War series.
Pick any, can’t go wrong. Charley’s my favourite, but the Time War stuff I know is great for revival fans.
Think it has to be the Ponds for me.
The Ponds are my favourite
Clara+12 favourite from this list and i couldn't stop smiling when you were talking about the duo
eleven and the ponds are the frickin best, they had so much chemistry imo and really seemed like a funky little friend group i just loved them
Honestly I freaking love the TARDIS team in Series 10.
You've got Bill, who's a huuuuge palate cleanser after Clara Oswald (She's just so attached to the Doctor that it's infuriating don't @ me). Bill is having the time of her live in the TARDIS but is still willing to tell at the Doctor's face when he needs it.
Then you've got Nardole. He was the original companion to Professor Doctor (what I call Series 10 12th Doctor) and he's always been willing to put him in his place. But at the same time he can just be freaking hilarious. He may have technically been the comic relief character, but there's more to him than just that.
Even Missy has a compelling arc. World Enough and Time/ The Doctor Falls felt like such a payoff to her arc in Series 10. She finally got to be considered a real companion.
Finally, Professor Doctor. This is easily the best version of the 12th Doctor and, in my opinion, maybe even the best we've seen of the Doctor in the revived era. He's kind and is finally shown having the time of his life in the TARDIS (both things this version arguably has over series 8 & 9). It's the final chapter in the 12th Doctor's arc of learning kindness and friendliness. Again, this is just such a palate cleanser after the last 2 seasons. The 12th Doctor basically got better and better with each season he was in.
I agree completely
Clara and 12. I'm horrifically biased, but I don't care.
How are you biased?■
From the top 5, 4 and Romana.
Fav, 7 and Ace
The brigadier is absolutely a companion and absolutely the best with any of the doctors he meets
Your love of Clara and hate of Lucy Miller hurts my soul. XD
What's wrong with Clara
@@onthepalehorse Just not my thing. She kinda grated on me and I really disliked the "let's insert her into every important moment in the doctors history thing".
Plus Moffat just couldn't let her go, it was so tedious.
mood, 8 and Lucie Bleedin' Miller are a dream team
Suprateek Nag she's boring has no personality and is used as plot device and always argues with the doctor I don't see the big love for Clara I literally can't name one character trait she has except saying run u clever boy
Best:Donna and 10
My Favourite (guilty): Adric, Nyssa, Teegan and 5
I agree with both of them, guilty as charged
Nothing to be guilty about. They're great.
The dynamic between Gram and Ryan probably reminds the doctor of himself and his granddaughter.
Tennant and tate, that team is absolutely incredible!!
10th and Wilfred mot
Pick: Doctor and Donna
Favorite: Doctor and Donna
I do not commit the sins that others clearly have.
11 and the Ponds. I love their comedy so much.
"Whilst, as we all know, Yaz is actually a ghost and can only be seen by one of the main characters." LOL. Fuck. That was amazing.
1The Doctor and Clara
2Bill, Missy , The Doctor and Missy
3Donna and The Doctor
The Best: Ten and Donna
My Favorite: Four and Romana II
Nine, Rose, Jack. I love the Ponds too, mostly thanks to The Girl Who Waited being my favourite story ever.
I like to think of that episode being unofficially called Rory's Choice... astounding story. I approve of your main TARDIS team pick too 😋
12 and Clara deepened my emotional investment in this show to its current unhealthy extent. I'm not sure if it's the characters, or just that Coleman and Capaldi play off each other so well. Clara helped me understand 12 better, and 12 helped me understand Clara better. They were fun and funny together, but they also had more emotional depth and complexity than I honestly ever expected from a doctor-companion duo. There are other teams I loved: 9, Jack and Rose chief among them. Of course 10 and Wilfred.
oh my god i wrote this just before watching the video and I'm so used to people having mixed (or negative) feelings about Clara as a companion you unapologetically saying exactly what I've always thought took me so off guard i'm shook. surprise validation is a rare and amazing thing
I'd pick the 10 and Donna, but your comments on 12 and Clara are really winning me over on those two...PLEASE please do a video focusing on those two, their relationship, and why series 8 and 9 isn't as bad as people say!!!!
Frankly, I wouldn't know where to stop.
@@SamyulDavis Absolutely fair!
One of my favourite TARDIS Teams comes between "The Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan" and "The Doctor, Vicki and Steven". I got through the first episodes of Doctor Who because of Ian and it took until 'The Aztecs' for me to really like Barbara. For me the only things holding it back were the Doctor, but mostly Susan. She never grew on me so the emotional impact from her departure, mostly came for the fact that this was the first time the TARDIS Team changed. Then they got Vicki who was literally meant to be a Susan 2.0. Apparently the producers wanted her to dye her hair black to make her resemble Susan more. The actress refused, and instead suggested the alternative of getting Carole Ann Ford back. So she did her own thing, and for me Vicki is how Susan should have been and her first episode as a companion 'The Romans' also contains some of my favourite First Doctor moments. Now I consider that episode to be the moment where I started to love the First Doctor too. The chemistry between all four is great and by themselves they also all stand their ground. When Ian and Barbara were replaced by Steven something got lost, but I'll always look back at that group as one of the best TARDIS Teams.
*SIKE!* If you can put random 'A Town Called Mercy' dude up there I'm choosing the Kandyman.
*Kandyman, Best TARDIS Team!*
Sam: says 5, Tegan, Nyssa, and Adric are trash.
Me: *holding back tears and anger because I’d just finished watching Season 19 and fell in love with all of them but knowing full well that he’s completely right.*
Okay. No, that’s fine. I understand.
It’s a tough decision.
10 and Donna & 12 and Clara.
I can't choose, I love both of them SO MUCH.
Nine and Rose are close second, followed by The Ponds.
The Fourth Doctor and Romana. They constantly bounced off of each other making them very amusing to watch and Romana wasn't stupid when it came to aliens. She was like the Captain Jack Harkness of the classic era
For me, the best Tardis Teams are the ones that feel like family, and I only got that family feeling twice: with the Ponds and with Donna and Ten and Wilfred, because I felt his relationship with the Doctor as part of Ten&Donna. So, for me Ten, Donna and Wilfred and Eleven with the Ponds (River included) are a tie. Maybe the Ponds are a little bit higher, but it’s still hard to decide.
My favourite team is One, Ian, Barbara and Vicki. Although thats mainly just for One and Vicki. For the first time the doctor has an equal, someone who is both able to keep up with the doctor and won't follow his instructions blindly, which was Susan's problem. On top of that she actually feels like she wants to be there, something that is quite rare for the first doctors run. For the first time it feels like the doctor has a friend, rather than an obligation. I think this is shown best at the end of The Chase, after Ian and Barbara leave and Vicki does the Donna thing of claiming she'll never leave. (Sidenote; Vicki should've stayed on til Dalek Master Plan and taken Katrina's place as the one who dies. I haven't watched the myth makers yet but it would've been a perfect exit for her, she never wanted to leave so her leaving out of her own volition feels wrong. On top of that The Doctor's first true friend also being the first companion to die, and at the hands of the daleks!? Its just *chef's kiss*)
Listen when Susan is done right, there's no topping her- but this comment won me over on prioritising Vicki. Everyone's also just a bit more fun by that season.
If i had to choose the best one purely out of potential and what could have been, I would say Season 10's team of Bill, Nardole and Missy. There's so many directions to take with each character.
It's not like season 6 where Rory only existed to question the doctor every now and again with really no depth, Season 10 had 3 completely different companions that did seem to work well together. The beginning of World Enough and Time is the perfect example of this.
You could explore Nardole's interesting.... past and how he challenges the Doctor. Why he's so strict about Missy.
You could explore Bill's student-teacher relationship with The Doctor. You could carry her on as a Cyberman, although i'm glad they didn't because Bill would rather die than live on as a Cyberman and forcing her to do another set of adventures would probably be torture for Bill. But it'd be nice to have Capaldi guide Bill to accepting who she is now, while still honouring who she used to be.
You could explore everything with Missy. I don't think i need to even say how she could be used.
I did love Amy and Rory, but i grew to find Amy annoying because they couldn't decide if she was "Innocent fairytale girl" or "badass, no bullshit woman". You can see that in the Season 6 finale especially.
I think Danny and Clara should've been the 2 companions for Season 9, rather than killing Danny off so early on. Let Clara's overconfidence come from the fact that she believes she's invincible with Danny, rather than her grief over Danny being what pushed her.
There are so many underused companions in Doctor Who.
-Bill, but Pearl Mackie specifically, was so underrused in Season 10. Lie of the Land and The Doctor Falls proves that she's a spectacular actress but she wasn't given much depth until the last few episodes.
-Wilf. We all know how great Wilfred was. Donna owned Season 4, but i wouldn't say she needed more. Wilfred was just such a good parallel to the Doctor.
-Graham. While his performance isn't the greatest, i'm actually really invested in his character. His wanting to be a father in Season 11, his struggles with illness in Season 12, his anger over his wife's death. It's all just so good that i think it's a real shame he's leaving so soon. I've always said that Season 11 should've been only 13 and Graham. It would've been a really interesting role reversal. Plus it would make the gags where people think Graham is the doctor funnier.
-Handles. Just the idea of a companion that isn't a 16-25 year old woman from England is really appealing to me. I want a companion who sees the universe in a different way to everyone else.
If i had to choose one Tardis team to watch forever, It would either be 13 and Graham (Hypothetically), 10 and Donna, or 12, Bill and Nardole.
I Think, the Doctor and Nardole! I'm serious, I mean Bill joined the crew pretty quick after, but Nardole was there for the Doctor, after he lost River forever. Which they never quite conveyed on the show, but I think, there are quite a few untold stories and adventures with just the two of them, which were very deep and meaningful...
Ok but imagine this:
Seven, Ace, Wilf, Graham and (sometimes) Jack, going around the galaxy blowing bad guys up with their intellect, nitro-9 and paintball shots. (Oh and Graham's gun)
I spat my drink out when you put 12 & Clara in the s tier.
The Pond family will always be my favorite team, even more if you include the fourth member, Melodie Pond.
