I bet I'm the only one here who saw the very first Doctor Who episode with William Hartnell as The Doctor, travelling with his grand-daughter Susan (now there's a story-line that has been quietly forgotten!) way back in 196-whatever it was. I was an impressionable young thing at the timebut thought it was not a bad start and despite the wobbly sets and the frequent use of municipal rubbish dumps to represent alien worlds, it could go far.... No, I haven't seen all the rest of the episodes but at some time or another I've seen all the Doctors - can't decide which I liked best, though I think Sylvester McCoy was my least favourite.
As for a female Doctor - well, he has a daughter now, somewhere out there. Dead? Of course she isn't, only until the next series, anyway.
And - I've got a ticket to see David Tennant as Hamlet at Stratford, this year's Gold Dust ticket - looking forward to that!
Strangely, that rings a bell, the Doctor with a granddaughter. I remember seeing something a long time ago, when I was very young, with those two ingredients, along with an alien planet and a note written in chalk on the door which the Doctor missed. That's all I remember of it, I didn't see it all. I know one thing, I certainly didn't exist when it first aired so it must've been repeated for some reason. I've always wondered if that really had been Doctor Who, I guess it was.

Shall these bones live?
DONNA WAS THE BEST COMPANION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY DID TO HER!Hey all, lost interest in the dear Doctor? With season four over there are some things I should say. First off.
SERIES FOUR WAS GREAT.
Also, Donna made a great companion, which leads me onto a question that's been bugging me for ages.
Who is everyone's favourite companion?
I'm now torn between Martha and Donna, one thing I know is that Rose is my least favourite. She was fine at the start, when I had no one to compare her to but afterwards Martha was just so much better than Rose.
THEY MUST PAY!
Ethel Mertz: Gee, this high altitude sure gives me an appetite.
Fred Mertz: What's your excuse at sea level?
Fred Mertz: Now what are we supposed to do? Thumb a ride on a passing halibut?
Ricky Ricardo: I can't afford it.
Lucy Ricardo: Those must have been the first English words you learned.
Rose. Without a doubt (from the new eps).
Shall these bones live?
Not to be rude, but .... WHY?
Ethel Mertz: Gee, this high altitude sure gives me an appetite.
Fred Mertz: What's your excuse at sea level?
Fred Mertz: Now what are we supposed to do? Thumb a ride on a passing halibut?
Ricky Ricardo: I can't afford it.
Lucy Ricardo: Those must have been the first English words you learned.
she just....made me cry. Any television character that's real enough to make me cry is something. And she was just so awesome and you know, normal. Martha was way too clingy and (not to offend anyone) kinda dumb. Donna is just kinda boring, she doesn't particularly shine on the screen or anything, she's just,,,boring.
Shall these bones live?
So jealous!
Favourite companion...Donna of course! She was just brilliant!
Didn't particularly like what they did with her character at the end of series 4.
I've missed quite a few with Rose in them. No scratch that, I've missed practically all of them!

What! How can you call Martha dumb? She was way smarter that Rose. Rose was just there for looks. And I wouldn't call Martha clingy. She fell for the Doctor but she left, she didn't have the idea that they'd travel together forever, I'd say that makes her a lot more mature than Rose too.
And how was Donna boring, she was by far the funniest companion, it was nice to have a companion who didn't fall head over heels for the doctor, because that would start to get boring.
In light of these two Rose was by far the weakest character.

Yak! Donna(Catherine Tate) was the reason I stopped watching Dr. Who. Even the draw of David Tennant wasn't enough to keep me watching once she was in the series.
Catherine Tate

Donna was a great companion and this series was by far the best. You can't seriously tell us you missed it deliberately.Yak! Donna
Catherine Tate

I don't know anything about Catherine Tate herself, but the way she played Donna was so much fun! Brilliant, even.Yak! Donna
Catherine Tate
What is so bad about Catherine Tate anyway?
Ethel Mertz: Gee, this high altitude sure gives me an appetite.
Fred Mertz: What's your excuse at sea level?
Fred Mertz: Now what are we supposed to do? Thumb a ride on a passing halibut?
Ricky Ricardo: I can't afford it.

yeah yeah, I'm with my sister. What's so bad about Tate anyway? I keep vacillating between her and Rose as my favorite companion.
Incidentally, who liked Midnight? I thought it was really cool; I love episodes where the doctor isn't quite infallible. Watched 42 recently (Youtube is invaluable
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
Yak! Donna
Catherine Tate
You should have kept going, Fifth, she definitely improved as the series went on, became a more rounded character, more understanding and compassionate (which it has always seemed to me is the point of travelling with the Doctor) and grew away from Catherime Tate's other tv persona(s) which I agree are irritating in the extreme! I don't know that she was the best of the companions but she got away from the growing tendency for the companions to fall in love with the Doctor (and for him to fall for them) which makes sense as the companionship cannot last for ever.
