3. Ted Mosby How I Met Your Mother
Youd really have to pity the Doctor if he was travelling with Ted. Not that Ted is a bad person; he seems quite a nice guy: hes good to his friends, he holds a respectable job and all he wants is a loving family unit. Hed be a great fit, right? Wrong. All he seems to do is tell lengthy stories. Now, I dont hate Ted, Im one of those captivated by the hilarious show that is How I Met Your Mother. However, its been eight series now and hes only getting close to meeting this elusive mother. His poor kids have been sat, painfully waiting for the end of the story, the end of the references to the past and to their fathers sex life. Theyd surely appreciate a TARDIS appearing and taking him away. But the Doctor and the audience certainly wouldnt. Imagine whole episodes and series of our beloved sci-fi show, devoted to the annoying, whiney stories of Ted. As soon as he was seated comfortably in the TARDIS, his stories would begin. Aliens worlds would surely come and go out of existence and Teds tales would go on. The only silver lining would be that once travelling with the Doctor, his tales would get a little more interesting. No more would he sit his kids down and moan about the lack of sex he once had. Instead, hed talk of monsters, moons and mad men. If he managed to get out of the TARDIS, that is. Teds one of those characters who needs his friends to have fun. The Doctor would have to act as a Barney substitute, pushing Ted towards interesting and daring activities, otherwise hed just spend his days clinging to the TARDIS, unsure of whether he wanted to go out, save the world and enjoy himself or not.
