Welcome to round 1 of Least Favourite Doctor Who Companion (2005 onwards)! We had one of these a few years back, but Clara was the most recent companion at the time and we've had a few newies since then, so it's time to see how the results change!

 

I've opted not to include the one-off companions such as Astrid or Lady Christina, and no matter what Wikipedia tells you, I will never see James Corden as a companion :basil: Jackie Tyler is somewhat debatable but I needed someone extra for my grid below to look presentable :kink: as she said, anything could happen x nonetheless, I'd say the above is a reasonable list of who's considered a companion in modern Who!

 

We'll kick things off with a DOUBLE ELIMINATION so vote for your TWO least favourites in the above poll. I'll leave each round open for a few days!

 

If you're interested, these were the results last time!

 

01. Rose Tyler

02. Donna Noble (19 votes | 51.35%)

03. River Song (15 votes | 60.00%)

04. Amy Pond (16 votes | 47.06%)

05. Clara Oswald (12 votes | 38.71%)

06. Captain Jack Harkness (14 votes | 50.00%)

07. Martha Jones (10 votes | 50.00%)

08. Rory Williams (12 votes | 44.44%)

09. Mickey Smith (12 votes | 44.44%)

 

Adam's a stone cold LAST for me obviously, and I've given my other vote to Ryan who I never overly cared for. Inoffensive at worst but most of the others have provoked far stronger emotions in me than Ryan ever did...! At least he contributed to the iconic "Ryan Sinclair don't you dare" :lol:

Adam and Nardole!

Adam’s an easy one, given he was written to be the failed companion!

 

The second choice is more difficult but unfortunately it has to be Ryan, just really lifeless as a character. It’s the issue with all of the ‘fam’ but I guess he represents it the best in that he never takes control of the situation like a companion should, he’s just ‘part’ of the story and essentially waits for the Doctor, or another de facto leader, to tell him what to do.

 

tbh I always forget about Nardole as a companion so he’ll be coming up sooner than later on my votes

Adam (barely remember him - Cathica was more iconic) & Ryan (boring … but tbf I’ve only watched until S12E02 so maybe that’s harsh).

 

I’ll be going for Mickey next.

10 voters, 33 votes cast y'all are meant to pick two!! :lol: Thanks to everyone who's read the instructions :kink: As a result, only two people on 0...!

I'll just go with everyone else as I have to remind myself of Adam and it's never good and Ryan is the worst of a truly weak bunch of companions, they really never gave him anything apart from the tacked-on Dyslexia and absent mother plotlines and he was just not a strong enough actor to give him the flair he needed. Not that Yas and Graham are much better, they're next.

 

 

The results are pretty clear cut on this round already so I'll close this one tomorrow evening, keep them coming in the meantime guys!
