![]() But even if she had not been, Clara’s character was like candy, sweet and enjoyable in small doses but unbearable in mass. ![]() First introduced as a human turned Dalek in “Asylum of the Daleks,” then introduced again in “The Snowmen” as a spunky Victorian barmaid, Clara had a few false starts before becoming a companion in earnest in “The Bells of Saint John.” From her beginning as the “impossible girl,” popping up again and again at various points in the Doctor’s timeline, to her confusing end forever trapped in the moment before her death, Clara was the unfortunate victim of some of writer and showrunner Steven Moffat’s most poorly executed story arcs. We’ve had a lifetime of Clara Oswald - several, in fact - as Clara is the longest-serving companion the series has had since its 2005 revival.

So, starting with Rose Tyler in the series’s 2005 relaunch, all the way through to the Thirteenth Doctor’s three current travel buddies, Yasmin Khan, Graham O’Brien, and Ryan Sinclair, we’ve ranked the Doctor’s companions from worst to best. ![]() But for all of the show’s marvels, Doctor Who and its main star are nothing without the Doctor’s loyal companions, who help save the day while also keeping the Doctor company in their travels across the universe.īut thanks to the vagaries of writing, characterization, performance, and chemistry, not all companions are created equal some favorites go on to rival even the Doctor in terms of popularity, while others can range from blandly likable to actively annoying. In the world of Doctor Who, there’s plenty to be amazed by: time travel faraway planets killer alien-robots with kitchen utensils for arms and of course, the eponymous Doctor Who him/herself, master of time and space and sonic hardware.
