Doctor Who Magazine Panini Comics : Torchwood Magazine Panini Comics 5 : Doctor Who Magazine Panini Comics : 22— Cancel Save. Rarely does a companion consistently outshine the Doctor, but that's exactly what Dorothy "Ace" McShane did. She joined the show at a difficult time, with ratings declining and cancellation imminent, yet was able to breathe new life into proceedings with her bravery, humor, and intelligence.
Ace stood strong when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, once taking out a Dalek with nothing more than an enhanced baseball bat. Had the series not been canceled, she would have gone on to become a Time Lord herself, but instead ends up starting the charity, "A Charitable Earth," or ACE, for short. Clara's first encounter with the Doctor came during Matt Smith's time with the show, although it's perhaps her adventures with the twelfth doctor that fans will remember most fondly.
She can be a little bossy at times, but her wit and her willingness to throw herself into everything that she does more than make up for this. Like Donna, Clara really helped the Doctor to remain grounded and wasn't afraid to call him out for his over-the-top antics.
She always did what she thought was right, even if it meant endangering her own life to do so. After Danny's death, she loses a big part of herself but replaces it with a newfound bravery that only makes her more heroic and likable. Often referred to as the Brigadier, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart is one of the longest-serving companions in the history of Doctor Who.
His first meeting with the Doctor came during the Great Intelligence's invasion of London, although it was not until Jon Pertwee became the third Doctor that the pair really began to bond. He's fought the Daleks, the Dominators, and the Cybermen and was even resurrected as one of the latter in a episode. His daughter Kate took up the mantle after his death and met the tenth, eleventh and twelfth doctors during her time with UNIT.
Ever since her first appearance in "Doomsday," Donna regularly served as the show's comic relief, although there's a lot more to her than just lightening the mood. After he loses Rose, the tenth Doctor starts to become a little withdrawn and it is only with Donna's help that he's finally able to return to his old self.
It would have been easy for the writers to set her up as another romantic interest , but the platonic relationship shared by Donna and the Doctor is arguably a lot more rewarding to viewers. She understands the Doctor better than most companions, as well as why it's important for him to have a companion in the first place. While it's true that most of the series' companions go on to form a special bond with their respective Doctor or Doctors, none quite compare to the one shared by Rose and the tenth Doctor.
It's incredibly well-written and provides viewers with a glimpse of the Doctor's human side. Even before that though, Rose had a big impact on the series. Being the first companion of the modern era of Doctor Who may have phased some, but Billie Piper takes to the role like a duck to water. Rose's outgoing personality helped to bring balance to Eccleston's sullen and serious interpretation of the Doctor, while also playing a key, albeit, questionable, role in the events of the first series' climax.
Sarah-Jane Smith is easily the most popular companion of the classic era of Doctor Who and even returned for several of the modern episodes. She was first introduced as a traveling partner for the third Doctor back in though, before eventually going on to interact with eight of the other 12 doctors in some way, shape, or form.
While it has been a mystery why Martha was written out of Doctor Who , it does seem like it wasn't necessarily Agyeman's decision.
When it came to Donna, the plan was always for her to be a one-season companion, due to what was coming in the following series. Doctor Who season 4 ended in a way where Donna could no longer be part of the Doctor's adventures. After having gone through the meta crisis that made Donna part-Time Lord and part-human, it gave the companion a huge upgrade by having the Doctor's mind part of hers, but at a deadly cost.
After the war against Davros and the Daleks , Donna began suffering from the effects of the meta crisis, as her mind was literally burning from being overwhelmed by the Doctor's mind.
That forced the Doctor to erase all memories she had of him, his knowledge, and their adventures, so she could live. If Donna ever remembered their time together, it'd kill her, hence why the Doctor stayed away from her. While Tate has been on the record that she enjoyed playing Donna, this was happening in the midst of Doctor Who concluding Tennant's era, with Matt Smith taking over as the Eleventh Doctor.
With the next Doctor, came a new phase of Doctor Who where they focused on new characters and stories.
