From Amy Pond of Leadworth to Nyssa of Traken, the Doctor has always had someone to share his adventures with and to show the wonders of the universe to as well as being a good friend, improving their lives and indeed in most cases, improving him and making him a better person. So in this article I will discuss my top 5 and why. 5) Ian Chesterton. One of the very first companions, a kind of action hero. He is selfless and kind whilst improving the first doctor a lot, making him less grumpy and more welcoming. He is also someone of reason and clear minded and reliable. Basically a perfect travelling companion. 4) Sarah Jane Smith. Who else but the fantastic, reliable, adventurous Sarah Jane. One of Doctor who's most successful companions, with children loving her in the 70's then all over again with her highly successful spin-off 'The Sarah Jane Adventures'. The thousands of tributes from around the world of her unexpected death shows this exactly. 3) Jamie McCrimmon. Probably the best Doctor/companion combination so far. Jamie and The 2nd doctor just bounce off each other creating a brilliant atmosphere and brilliant TV as well as some excellently executed comedy. 2) Donna Noble. In my opinion Donna is the Companion that has made the biggest impact on the doctor, and the viewer in 50 years of time travel. As well as him having the biggest impact on her which is heart wrenchingly taken away. She is likable, funny and very very boisterous and there is just so much character development throughout series 4 from a loud mouth nuisance to a caring person, Catherine Tate who is known for her comedy handled this perfectly! 1) Ace. Always smiling, relatable and friendly she is the perfect companion. She faces danger head on and indeed the doctor made her in some cases but just making her a better person in the hardest way possible. One of her most poignant moments is probably the small scene in Remembrance of the Daleks when she turns the racist sign on the door over (story set in 1963) this is exactly why she's my favourite and always will be.
