Favorite Companion? Or not?


Seems quite a few of you have a much higher opinion on the beauty of Ace in the 7th Doctor's time.
I looked back
http://www.doctorwho.tv/50-years/companions/
At the others, and found that Susan, (because of age. loke Ace, perhaps Dody, and of course Donna are the ones I would say I don't find attractive, but also I know that every single one has someone that think they were the best
That's the beauty

Frobisher.

He can be anything you want him to be.

Anything.

Take them to the security kitchen!

reply

Yes, but I think he's always at his best when he looks like a penguin.

I've got his action figure, it's a perfect scale match with the sixth Doctor and Peri action figures.

Frobisher, the best thing to come out of the Doctor Who comics. Why they can't have him in the show now, I don't know.

I love that shape changing penguin.

Beauty, as in physical attractiveness? In my opinion the most beautiful/handsome/cute/attractive companions are (in order of appearance): Steven Taylor - who imho looks even more swashbuckling than Jack, but maybe it's that 1960s aesthetic  - Polly, Team Cute (Jamie & Zoe), Sergeant Benton, Leela, Romana I, Peri, Jack, Martha, Amy, and Clara. Ace was pretty cute, but she's #4 on my list of favorite companions (after Leela, Jamie and Donna) for mostly non-appearance reasons. Some of the companions I find hot still aren't very high up.


Do you even know what honor is?
- A horse.

reply

Oh I guess for pure attractive then, Rose, and River Song, w/ Leela, Romana 1, and Zoe are my top 5

reply

I liked Ace, nowadays she does remind me slightly too much of a somewhat crazy ex (physically) so, not sure. Even though I prefer Zoe as a companion I would say that Victoria/Debbie Watling had the kind of beauty where she could look different in every other picture of her

I quite like Liz Shaw, I thought she was beautiful and she had brains!!

reply

I think she and Clara are the most beautiful companions. The Brigadier ain't hard to look at either.

Isn't she? I hated her story arc but I like her looks and her personality (once they bothered to give her one). Liz got a raw deal but Inferno showed John's acting chops.

Caroline John got her job on DW by sending in a photo of herself wearing a miniskirt. A very popular look, back in the early 1970s.

First time I've ever seen a scientist in a miniskirt. 

Well now, that would probably depend on how nice his legs are... 

I find Sophie Aldred an attractive woman, but a high opinion of her beauty, no. She is kind of like Matt Smith or Arthur Darvill, she has a unique pleasing face, that you grow to love. I'd rather have someone like her than someone INSTANTLY very attractive whose face is one that I can only lose interest as time goes on. Seriously, people who have faces that you can only grow more fond of with time are the kind of faces I like. Those tiny imperfections and things that stand out become them the more you see them. So, yes, she is an attractive woman, because her face has personality and she has a good figure to add to it.

Outside of that, Sophie Aldred is a beautiful woman inside, and I love her for the warm person she is. Her character Ace is another story, but I am talking about the actress here.

reply

Well, I hope no one thought that I or anyone here considered the actress Sophie unattractive.
Watching her interviews, she was a very pretty girl, However, as I personally, wrote, I did not find that the 16/17 year old Ace, a girl that could seduce a man just by giving a "come hither look", maybe, but that was my only point.
