Dan Lewis

  • He was played by an actor in mid-fifties, and yet the niche he occupied was the same as that of the young companions, not a grandpa mentor or whatever like Wilfred and Graham. We got to meet his parents, in the exact same way as we meet young companions' parents. Also, no, Legend of the Sea Devils, I refuse to believe he's ten years younger than his actor. He is the kindest man alive. He starts out mentally unable (I feel like this is not the best way to phrase it in this particular case, but I'm not sure about a better way) to consider his own wellbeing. He works at a food bank and refuses to take food for himself from it while literally not having any in his home. He says, ""what's the point of being alive if it's not to make others happy?"" And in his final episode, he leaves the TARDIS because he has had enough of the constant stress, because he has decided to put his wellbeing first. He's so in love with and excited about his hometown's culture. Also, he does not actually work in the city's museum but he acts as a museum's guide anyway. (@dyspunktional-leviathan )

Oliver Harper

  • Brilliant extended universe companion of the First Doctor. His story is both something that is both true to how the 60s were and yet could never have been explored by the TV series at that time. A perfect combination and a wonderful addition to the First Doctor and Steven's history. Very well played and I wish he could come back for more. (@hartnellwho / @elden-12 )

Polly Wright

  • the second Doctor's original #1 supporter! the first to believe in him as the Doctor through his first ever regeneration when he himself wasn't sure if he was still the Doctor. ""don't listen to him Doctor I know who you are."" + ""you did it, you landed the tardis exactly where you meant to!"" (he had not). kidnapped Jamie. (yep, polly wright, not the Doctor, is in fact the one responsible for Jamie's presence in the tardis! because she fucking kidnapped him!) literally so selfish and I fucking love her for it. wants to steal that one guy's service dinosaur in audio ""the Curator's Egg"", disappointed when the Doctor says no, reacts by (see above) KIDNAPPING JAMIE the next place they go. Does a really great job at playing the part of everything a woman is excpected to be in 1966; nurturing caring supportive makes and serves the tea.... but chafes at it underneath. LOVES tardis travel because she's free. the first to match the second Doctor's FREAK and she does it every minute of every day, beat for beat. because shes the same kind of freak herself

Steven Taylor

  • He suffers so much I want him thrown out the window!!! He’s see all his friends die in front of him and is constantly getting tortured and being hurt. He should be shot in the face and survive I love him so much!!!
  • What if there was a man who could never win. What if there was a man who had so much love in his heart but nobody to give it to because they all kept dying. What if there was a man who was such a bitch. What if he was mentally ill. And bisexual. And missing 28 episodes. And did I mention that everyone around him is constantly dying. This is Steven Taylor. I haven't made it past the first doctor's era because I got too attached to him and sobbed and wailed when he left. He's a single mother (to dodo) he's a big brother (to vicki) he's a wifeguy (to sara) he hates his fucking grandpa (the doctor). I'm shaking (@abominandus )

K9

  • Who doesn't love a talking dog with sass?

Sara Kingdom

  • Shakespearean tragedy of a character. She was doomed to die. Conscripted into working for the SSS a space secret police for despotic earth empire by her father at the age of eight after her mother (who was also conscripted) died on mission. Watched as one of her brothers was taken away by the Daleks forever never to been seen again trapped with the question of what if she had been faster. Killed her other brother on the orders of the Dictator of the Solar System. Only to find out that the dictator was evil and her brother was trying to save the universe from an invasion by the same people who took her first brother, and it is her fault that Earth will never be warned of this coming invasion. And so she joins those she was just trying to kill to try and make up for the death’s of both her brothers. She watches them suffer and she suffers they are all tortured and then when the Galaxy is saved she runs back to save one of those people for no reason as he could have survived the time that was following through him but she can not and is aged to death in a futile act to save a life that did not need saving. She was doomed from the start.

Dodo Chaplet

  • "Dodo's annoying" "Dodo sucks" SHUT UP EVERYBODY SHUT UP RIGHT NOW. Those who believe Dodo to be one of the worst companions ever will not see the light of heaven. There are literally worse companions. Dodo is just some guy. She waltzes into the TARDIS and is like "Oh, it's a Time Machine? Okay! yaaaay!" Right after Steven has had the worst year of his life. Dodo provides much needed joy and whimsy after an ESPECIALLY dark era of the 60s. She's silly and fun and gets along great with both the Doctor and Steven, but also holds her own! Threatening Doc Holliday at gunpoint into taking her back to Tombstone? GO GIRL GIVE US EVERYTHING. YES she gave a future society the plague, it was an accident. YES she was all over the place during the Toymaker, you would be too if you had all those rules to follow and undiagnosed ADHD! She's a sweetheart she's the world she deserved such a better ending than she got. Who Killed Kennedy is not canon in my heart and her audios rule. Please listen to The Secrets of Det-Sen. She commands a Yeti army. Dodo Chaplet get behind me (@abominandus )

Romana I

  • I LOVEEEEE ROMANAAAAA!!!! Shes so green and haughty when she comes to the TARDIS but grows and learns while never letting the Doctor get away with anything!! Her eyebrows could write NOVELS. Her all white aesthetic makes her one of the most striking companions of all time in m y opinion. Also I couldnt find the clip by itself but in her first episode, The Ribos Operation, my absolute fave Romana moment: https://youtu.be/O6J6xYB030s?si=4cbrzBsLJvvEGl3N at about 15:10 of the video, her and the Doctor discuss her name and she wants to be called Fred 🤣🤣🤣 THE OG GENDER NONCONFORMING TIME LORD
