[@IsaacWhittakerDakin]

The best companion will always be James Robert McCrimmon for me!

[@karenhall4645]

I LOVE Jamie! He's my favorite classic Who companion and in my top 5 overall.

[@thatsci-firogue]

Sarah Jane, Jamie, Romana 1, Ace and Donna are my favourites.

[@DarkLordPikachu]

Adam has the ‘fun’ distinction of being a terrible person both on the screen and in real life, give the actor a google if you haven’t already 😳

[@ftumschk]

The consolation is that he's scarcely a Companion anyway, at least not in terms of the TV series. Having one trip in the TARDIS in two adjoining episodes does not a Companion make.

[@DarkLordPikachu]

@@ftumschk Agreed, a small mercy that he wasn't a bigger presence in series 1

[@paulwalker3758]

Pertwee’s era really nailed the “companion” formula. I think that’s why his is my favourite era.

[@sebastianesilva398]

Before I first hopped on the Internet I had no idea that I was supposed to dislike Clara 😂. She's not my favourite or anything but I always thought she was an alright companion. I've recently started watching the Pertwee era for the first time and the Brigadier is already well on his way to being one of the greats for me

[@arguspanoptes9510]

Sarah-Jane Smith. Smart , sassy , independent and inquisitive . Plus gorgeous with a cheeky sense of humour. The only criticism of the late Elisabeth Sladen is I felt that she did overact the part on occasion but she was brilliant at fleshing out the character of Sarah-Jane when the script gave her little to say or do.

[@rockotarsoldaccount]

My full ranking (though I haven't heard all the big finish companions yet) 53: Yasmin Khan 52: Ryan Sinclair 51: Bill Potts 50: Clara Oswald 49: Kameleon 48: Adam Mitchell 47: Dorothy Chaplet 46: Adric 45: Graham O'Brian 44: Rose Tyler 43: Evelyn Smythe 42: Katarina 41: Melanie Bush 40: Susan 39: Mike Yates 38: Tegan Jovanka 37: Polly Wright 36: Mary Shelley 35: C'rizz 34: River Song 33: Nyssa of Traken 32: Ben Jackson 31: Jo Grant 30: Mickey Smith 29: K9 28: Nardole 27: Victoria Waterfield 26: Viki 25: John Benton 24: Sarah Jane Smith 23: Elizabeth Shaw 22: Harry Sullivan 21: Martha Jones 20: Leela 19: Vislor Turlough 18: Sara Kingdom 17: Barbara Wright 16: Ace 15: Amy Pond 14: Lucie Miller 13: Ian Chesterton 12: Romana 1 11: Donna Noble 10: Rory Williams 9: Peri Brown 8: Charlotte Pollard 7: Jack Harkness 6: Romana 2 5: Wilfred Mott 4: Steven Taylor 3: Zoe Heriot 2: Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart 1: Jamie McCrimmon

[@julieeverett7442]

good list and very close to mine, though I'd rate Wilf a lot lower and sarah Jane a lot higher

[@NPS2204]

Sarah Jane Smith will always be the best companion but Donna, Ace and Jo are also Great

[@The12thDoctor]

Romana II and rose too

[@MrPaulmorris7777]

Best - Brigadier, Ian, Barbara, SJS, Liz Shaw, Jamie,

[@obiwankenobi5845]

Even know I like Clara I know exactly where she’s gonna be put before watching the video.

[@tommunism8778]

😂 Micky with the tin dog.

[@jakegearhart]

I'm surprised how similar my opinion is compared to yours on the companions. Only two or three characters were more than one rank away. My favorite companion though is easily Romana II. There's just something about the dual time lord dynamic that sets the duo of her and Tom Baker's doctor above everyone else for me. It puts their stories in a different perspective that is very fresh. It's two alien almost-equals just going out and exploring the universe and I love that idea.

[@jamiestevens3074]

My opinion probably isn’t a popular one but my favourite companion EVER has to be Mickey smith! :) I love his character development from this loser boy who everyone forgets about and he just lives a normal life, to being this badass man that ends up helping saving the world (twice!) he’s a really sweet, funny and relatable character. I genuinely love him so much lmao

[@sasesq4000]

Interesting list. 1. I'd move Tegan up to B, maybe A, as best 5th Doctor companion, a good foil to Davison's Doctor. 2. Turlough move up to C at least. Interesting character. 3. Agree with Adric ranking C, definitely not as bad as many say 4. Agree with Rose ranking C, ruined her with that romance plot, but yes she was great in Day of The Doctor 5. Clara was at least a B, until she stayed with Capaldi, and just didn't fit, more a case of outlasted her welcome.

[@DCSMedia]

My guy Wingy going mainstream using a tier list. Love it ✌🏻

[@Ryan-qv2gk]

Great video! You should rank the Pertwee seasons, like you did with Tom. Since he had five it would be a top 5.

[@dominiksyrek9013]

My 10 favorite 10.Steven 9.Bill 8.Rose 7. Jo 6.Ace 5.Amy 4.Nardole 3.Adric 2.Turlough 1.Romana (both of them from diffrent raesons)

[@ljllob4740]

Very controversial picks but I respect it nice to see Jo and Ace

[@rockotarsoldaccount]

Finally someone else who realizes how great Steven and Turlough are

[@frankrappa4765]

Donna is my favorite companion too💕

[@devinmelancon4901]

My opinions and yours are quite similar on this topic! Thanks for ranking Liz Shaw so highly; I feel she's the great "one that got away" character in DW and the most underrated companion of them all.

[@ClineAI]

That exactly how I feel about Vicki

[@ScaryBaldMan]

I think you overused "S." I would have reserved that for the absolute legends who transcended their eras. Brigadier? Yes. Sarah Jane? Yes. Jack? Maybe. The rest are outstanding, but I would have ranked them at A. I think you were a little too harsh with Tegan whose abrasive nature was a perfect foil for Davison's milder Doctor. I would have rated Tegan a B. As for Clara... I don't think she deserves an F. She's definitely not my favorite, but she had some really good moments in the show. I would have made her a D+ - no higher than a C. And Rory? You did him a disservice. He had some of the best character development in the show. Started out as the bumbling, awkward guy living in Amy's shadow to a guy not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the Doctor and tell him off and absolutely EARNED the Doctor's respect, not to mention Amy's and River's. Also who can forget the badassery that was the Last Centurion?! Had to be at least a B.

[@Jeremyparker]

I would say Ace and Donna also deserve their S rating. I agree that Tegan's rating is harsh and I would say the same for Martha.

[@EmpireEmployeeRick]

I’m just gonna say my favourite and least favourite. Favourite: Clara- why? Because Jenna Coleman is my favourite actress, she’s extremely versatile and sold Clara to me and I love her arc. Also met Jenna 4 times and she’s a lovely person. Least favourite: Peri- honestly used to be rose but with rose I actually think Billie is a decent actress, but as much as Nicola is a lovely person, I don’t rate her as an actress and Peri as a character I don’t really connect with. That’s probably controversial but idc it’s my opinion 😂

[@carealoo744]

Katarina is amazing in Daughter of Gods and Sara Kingdom has good Big Finish adventures as-well!

[@ftumschk]

Great list, and I'm broadly in agreement on most of these... apart from Clara, who's one of my faves. Hey, but that's the way it goes :)

[@bones4918]

Evelyn is my favourite companion of all time, she’s fantastic, trust me, her stories are some of the best doctor who stories out there

[@gregsmith7949]

Best companions from classic who: Sarah Jane, Leela, Jamie, Jo & K-9. Donna is the best modern era companion.

[@TheMarioAdams]

Keep up the good vids man! I've been watching you since 2018. Btw are you keeping up with Wandavision?

[@johna5635]

The only one i completely disagree with is Bill as a "C"... every rationale that was applied to the "A" and "S" selections applies to her in my view.

[@SgtNickAngel]

Must be honest When it comes to Rose, I like her in her seasons overall, but they went way to far with the doctor and rose romance stuff, plusbi feel like she really causes damage later on, including in my opinion affecting Martha's character in a negative way. I really can't make my mind up about her, but the negatives I have about Rose have nothing to do with Billie, she did a great job with her and in the 50th anniversary special

[@martinhodgkins9856]

I really enjoyed you ranking list, most of which I sort of agreed with. My favourite companion is Sarah Jane Smith. My strongest disagreement with your list is Tegan Jovanka who would be in much higher up for me.

[@sasesq4000]

Agreed. Tegan should be at least a B level character.

[@samconran]

S for me: Jamie, Brig, SJS, Ace, Jack

[@TheMaggiesDad]

Peri an A?????? WTF? Barbara and especially Ian deserve higher. They created the idea of a companion that alone should earn them a higher spot. I also think Mary Tamm was amazing. She was as smart as the doctor and so graceful and beautiful. They really did overdo the damsel in distress stuff with her though. Thank God you didn't put Rose higher, she's so overrated. I think you were a little harsh on Clara but all in all I think you're pretty spot on. Peri and A!!!! Sorry, I just can't get over this one.

[@jogumby]

Pretty much agree with the top two tiers. I think I would have moved Jamie to S and Jo Grant to A but otherwise pretty much my thoughts.

[@ghostlightx9005]

I don't think the hatred for Adric is unfair.

[@dhelor]

I know you haven't delved into the Big Finish stuff, but Bernice Summerfield I think is one of my favorites. She's what River Song SHOULD have been. I mean, she basically IS River Song, but without the bullshit back story of being some kind of hybrid Time Lord Human thing - she's an archaeologist, an occasional time traveler, meets the Doctor out of sync with his personal timeline, smart, acerbic wit. My absolute favorite is her being paired with the alternate universe version of the Doctor portrayed by David Warner. Their dynamic is just fantastic.

[@julieeverett7442]

yes the unbound series is great!

[@mancrobat1042]

I honestly agree with most of this list with the exception being that I would bump up most of the 1st doctor companions by a bit. Viki is one of my favorite companions of that era, and her Ian and Barbra make up my second favorite tardis team in the black and white era (under Jamie and Zoe). Katerina I would also put pretty high up solely because of Big Finish's The Daughter of the Gods, which is a top tier multi doctor story with the first and second doctor which really works to retroactively improve The Dalek's Master Plan. It's really reflective on how the 1st doctor in particular views his companions, especially since he hasn't actually lost any of them (as in they died) at that point. He becomes almost a secondary antagonist as the 2nd doctor works to restore the original timeline of The Dalek's Master Plan, which would inevitably result in Katerina's death, and the 1st doctor would sooner see entire cities destroyed before he lets one of his companions die (which the 2nd doctor points out he did just a story prior in the Myth Makers, when The Doctor helped plan and execute the sacking of Troy, Katerina's home city, in order to save Viki). It's the first time I feel like the 1st doctor being the youngest and most inexperienced with loss is really done well in a multi doctor story, as in the classic show he is portrayed as the wise old man, and the less said about Twice Upon a Time the better. That sort of spewed off into a tangent, but I just really think people should check out Daughter of the Gods if they haven't already.

[@dexterhill5843]

Love how it jumps from there being a D rank to an F with no E

[@dexterhill5843]

Also ended up with Adric as the highest Davison companion?!? Personally on individual performances Tegan in Castrovalva and Kinda is really good and Nyssa in Arc of Infinity and The Visitation are as well imo but I get that its based off their whole time on the show

[@davidscholesphotographer]

No Way Donna is in 'S' tier - I found her so annoying. 'S' is for royalty like Brigadier, Ace, Jo Grant and Sarah Jane... Maybe Rose

[@tishpish4939]

Steven is "S". He's incredible in Masterplan and Massacre. Only companion who nailed the antagonism dynamic with the Doc.Unlike all the others who've kicked off with him he comes over like he really means it. 1. Leela 2. Barbara 3. Steven 4. Sarah Jane 5. Jamie Brig don't count but Wilf does! Enjoy your channel pal keep it up.

[@maxpower3698]

The top tiers pick themselves and then its personal preference the odd one I'd change I prefer Romana 1 to Romana 2 but there you go

[@campion10]

The first Dr. Who I ever saw was the last half hour of Logopolis. First proper episode was Castavalva. I was 13. I still have a crush on Nyssa to this day. I think she should have been ranked higher, but I’m obviously biased. I do agree with your assessment, however. She could have been so much more than just super-cute.

[@campion10]

A ranking of cutest female companions could be one of your future videos. That would probably be pretty subjective though.

[@bigboymedia453]

Wingy as mentioned in the top 10 i also posted a companion called hex is my third favourite. I think you will love him as well, to start with him listen in the order: Project twilight, Project lazarus, the harvest then just the adventures with hex in order.

[@helengrant1075]

It's all their matter of opinion:) as I really like companions such as Ian, Barbara and Stephen As they will not let the Dr get away with being callous.But i do love the team up of Sarah Harry and the Doctor. That is definitely one of my favourite segments!

[@ardsandlived]

If you’re an old git like me who grew up in the 70s, K-9 is straight up into S!! Apart from that, pretty spot on!

[@bigboymedia453]

My top 10, doesn't include anyone like Jack or the Brig: 10. Romana 2 9. Molly O Sullivan (big finish) 8. Evelyn Smythe (big finish) 7. Lucie Miller (big finish) 6. Martha Jones 5. Liv Chenka (big finish) 4. Sarah Jane 3. Hex (big finish) 2. Ace 1. Jamie McCrimmon

[@tstockel]

[@darkness3979]

I was hoping Clara would grow on you after your Series 8, 9 rewatch. To me she is THE companion in my humble opinion.

[@peterthompson1989]

Clara's a funny one for me. The impossible girl mystery was interesting but the problem with that was her character trait seemed to be her mystery more than anything else so she felt like a plot device rather than a character. So in series 8 she didn't have a lot to fall back onto once the mystery was solved and I feel Danny pink was introduced to try and fix this but I didn't feel like the two worked, had enough chemistry etc. So it just felt forced. I did like her a bit more in series 9 but I think by then it felt a bit too late. I always felt they made her too clever and this in a way worked when it came to face the raven which would have been great but they ruined that by having the doctor basically throw away all his morals to make her in a way invincible. I think twice upon a time means she has died but we don't know how long she travelled before that as she wasn't technically alive so wouldn't age. Basically could live longer than she would of naturally. I also don't like the fact the doctor shot the general which made him have to regenerate. Clara to me felt like just another companion. I mean I can't see the doctor doing that for Susan never mind anyone else

[@simonbutterfield4860]

@@peterthompson1989 the same for me as well. Clara's story line was done after S7 and there was nowhere else for her to go after that.

[@peterthompson1989]

@@simonbutterfield4860 also I feel she ruined the 50th ending by being the one showing emotion rather than the doctor. Like it's the biggest moment in the doctors life. I wanted to see him wresting with his conscious, mentioning the whole reason he did what he had to do e.g. rassilons plan. But Clara just told him to save gallifrey and he did

[@WedgeOfSpite]

Someone who loves Leela as much as me, huzzah! And agree about her BS ending. boo.

[@IronSalamander8]

We largely agree. I'd make a few changes, but barring a couple, nothing huge. My least favorite here is River Song; I really liked her originally in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, but she became so annoying and obnoxious that she's an easy 'F' for me. My favorite is of course the sublime Sarah Jane Smith. Part of my first TARDIS team as a kid when it was brought here to the states on PBS, and still love her so much. Sad that we lost Elisabeth Sladen so early.

[@ftumschk]

Luckily, I don't class River as a Companion, but as a recurring guest character, as I see Captain Jack and the UNIT family. To me, they're no more Companions than Jackie Tyler or Kate Stewart were. I like them all (even if River came to bug me too!), but I reserve the special title of Companion for the Jamies, Sarah-Janes and Donnas of this world.

[@karenhall4645]

[@rockotarsoldaccount]

[@jayblake682]

I agree with most, but Jack is too high. I don’t see him as being in the pantheon of the Brig, Donna, Jo, Leela, Sarah Jane, or Ace.

[@ftumschk]

He's not really a Companion either, not with a "big C". Like the Brig and River Song, Jack is a recurring guest hero, but not a _proper_ "Doctor Who Companion" in the sense of a character whose function is to act as an audience identification figure.

[@MegaDratsab]

Look at all these safe choices lol

[@WingyMedia]

Not safe, they're my actual opinions. Did you want me to put Sarah Jane in F to be edgy or something?

[@thethreerailwayengines825]

I think my top 5 are Jack, the Brigadier, Ace, Jamie and K9

[@themomentalist]

Ace? Edit: Beg your pardon, just watched the end of the video and didn’t realise you were doing three of them out of alphabetical order. Thought you’d forgotten her!

[@JJfromPhilly67]

Generally agree. But, would put Captain Jack and Peri Brown on the next lower tier. Liz Shaw will always be one of my S ("Superior," But can hear Michael Wisher saying the word) companions. Romana #1, Mary Tamm would rate an A and Tegan I would rate higher too. Clara should have a special rating of BA for Bloody Awful. Clara is the only companion to threaten the life of the Doctor of her own free will and is the only companion who Leela would kill. On the whole great job! Agree also that the fall in love with the Doctor story lines is complete drivel.

[@danielbridger7113]

all ur opinions r very much respected. im just heart broken at the ranking of my favorite companion, vislor turlough. he is absolutely phenomenal in how different he is from the companion template of human female from modern day earth, vislor is an alien male from an alien planet (obviously thats where aliens r from). not only that but he also starts as a villain working for the black guardian trying to kill the doctor! then becomes a good person from travelling with him

[@julieeverett7442]

human female from modern earth is only a modern day concept, look at the classics Susan, the doctors grand daughter, Gallifreyan like him, Nyssa, other world, Adric, annoying male math genius from E space, Leela, another planet and far future, the UNIT crew male soldiers, Jamie 17th century highlander, Zoo from the far future, the Romanas fellow time lord (or time LADY in this case) but yes, I like Turlough

Controversial opinion(sorry): I find Sarah Jane quite overrated because at times she could be the 'stereotypical companion' some cliffhangers had her screaming and in the Ark in Space, she's complaining and whining, in the five doctors, she falls down in a hill, which is not steep. I don't know why but why was she in Downtime, couldn't they have gotten Tina Packer? What I find weird is that the woman in the bottom left corner is actually a yellow Kang from Paradise Towers. Yaz, if you've heard, will be in a relationship(think S2 Rose).

"in the five doctors, she falls down in a hill, which is not steep" - Can't see how we can blame SJS for what was just a lame directing choice. How could anyone film in Wales and *not* find a convincing slope?!!

[@legofan370]

Agree with a lot of this list, but the ones I majorly disagree with are: Jo Grant - While I don't hate her, I do think she was majorly inferior to Liz Shaw who was great, distinct, and different. Not a bad companion, but def not S tier. Maybe B. Romana II - I honestly kind of hated both Romanas. She was a little bit better than Romana I but I felt she was still a really boring character and wasn't very distinctive in my eyes. Probably D tier for me. Ian and Barbara - Purely on the respectability and what they did for the Doctor. If it wasn't for them, he'd still be a crochety old man who didn't care about humans. Would be in A or S tier. Liz Shaw - A tier Romana I - F tier Susan - She was just way too annoying and pretty bland as a character. D tier. Steven Taylor - One of two of my biggest disagreements with this list. I LOVED Steven as a companion. Easily my favorite First Doctor companion and one of my favorite companions period. I love the relationship between him and The Doctor, and despite not being family, they have a genuinely great father-son type of relationship. His exit (despite the story just being okay) was very touching. S tier for me. Victor/Vislor Turlough - I thought he got more interesting as time went on, and had a pretty good relationship with the Doctor. Not great by any means, but definitely not F tier. Maybe C or B. Vicki - The other big disagreement I had. She was one of my favorite First Doctor companions and pretty much the better version of Susan. She was quirky, funny, smart, and likable. I would rank her A tier.

[@oopus4]

[@mrjekyllandhyde9941]

Personally I'd put Nyssa a lot higher but at least wingy rates her as the best 5th Dr companion .Her potential was criminally underused but we do have Big Finish where she returns.

[@andrewhayden9545]

There’s a few I disagree with: • I love Adric. He’s my 5th favourite. I love how intelligent he is and I love that Tardis team • Tegan is my 6th favourite. I love her development and particularly like her later on. She also has some hilarious moments. • Sarah Jane is towards the bottom because I only count her companion appearance and find her a bit too screamy • I love Ben because I love how hot headed he can be but he’s still caring at the same time particularly towards Polly. I actually prefer him to Polly. I find Polly somewhat forgettable • I find Victoria very irritating with her constant screaming. She has some nice moments but her screaming completely overshadows it. • I hate Susan with a passion. She’s currently my least favourite because she actively prevents me from going back to watch her episodes • I think Turlough is great pretty much all the way through. Although I will say the scene of him constantly pulling out the Crystal because laughable because he does it too much. • Jamie is my 3rd favourite behind Donna and Ace. I love his chemistry with Troughton and him being a highlander is definitely different and works really well. • Jo while I do like, find her quite overrated. She starts off a bit too reliant on The Doctor. It improves but not enough for her to be anywhere near the top. She’s like 15th for me.
