Day 5: Your Favourite Companion
This is a tough one as well. So many companions from which to draw. Let's break this down by Doctor again, sure why not let's do.
Hartnell - Ian and Barbara should count as one companion, sorta. I'll go with them. Everyone else pales in comparison for that era.
Troughton - Jamie, gotta be. Or is it Zoe? You'd think with him only having 3 companions (I'll exclude Ben and Polly though an argument could be made they're different with Troughton than Hartnell) it'd be an easy choice, but I rather like Zoe as well. Still... Jamie.
Pertwee - Only three companions here as well. Sarah Jane probably gets the nod, though.
T. Baker - Sarah Jane has already been listed under Pertwee, so despite her coming into her own with Tom I'll exclude her here for the sake of consistency. That being said, it's an easy choice to pick Romana. I shan't differentiate between the incarnations as it's the same character.
Davison - Eliminating Adric, Tegan and Nyssa as they all began their runs with Tom Baker, we're pretty much left with Turlough and Peri for choices. Screw Kamelion. Turlough is the hands-down winner here. Strickson nailed the role far more than Bryant ever got Peri.
C. Baker - Ugh. Well. This "don't list people who began with a previous Doctor" experiment earns a massive FAIL here. With Peri being listed under Davison... um... well, we're left with Mel. So by acclamation she's the winner here. At least it's easy to dismiss Colin's entry in the final tally.
McCoy - Mel is gone, so only Ace is left. Another no-brainer as a result.
I'll pick Ian over Barbara to keep things to one companion per Doctor, so between him, Jamie, Sarah Jane, Romana, Turlough, Mel and Ace... it's a tough call. They're all decent. Except Mel. She can die in a fire. Preferably one the colour of her own hair.
Bah fuck it, I dunno. Let's go with Sarah Jane then. Wasn't that anticlimactic?
