Introduced initially as a one-off character in 2007's Voyage of the Damned, Bernard Cribbins' Wilf quickly got upped to a recurring character in the fourth season following the sad death of Howard Attfield, who played Donna's dad Geoff. Wilf became a father figure for Donna, their close relationship being evident from their first scenes together on the hill in Partners in Crime - quite the contrast from the high tension scenes with mum Sylvia. Wilf supported his granddaughter's adventures and found himself embroiled in them on occasion too, firing a paint gun at a Dalek to block its vision! Wilf became a companion to the Tenth Doctor for his final adventure, where he saved Wilf from radiation before returning him home.

Clara for me this time… probably the only main companion pre 13 that I didn’t love. To me Jackie Tyler had more iconic moments than Clara did

Jackie again.

I think the problem with most of the male companions is that they're just not developed enough - Mickey and Rory were extensions of Rose and Amy respectively, and Nardole wasn't even intended as a companion at the start of series 10 so we didn't get as much time with him as we should have. Wilf obviously wasn't a companion for very long, and, well, Graham and Ryan did have enough time to develop but the writing... kink.gif I like most of these characters but both RTD and Moffat did really well at creating strong female characters that just can't be beaten!

I’ve gone for Sarah Jane but that’s probably a bit unfair considering I’ve never seen her spin-off. I absolutely loved her during the Tennant era though - I wish there were more crossovers in the main show.

Should try when she was actually a companion during the 70's laugh.gif
