12 Doctor Who Characters You Miss More Every Day

Time and space just ain't the same without them.

By Dan Butler /

Doctor Who is responsible for introducing some of the most beloved characters in TV history. Whether they're Doctors, coveted companions or faithful friends, there's just something about the Time Lord and his ever growing list of amicable associates that makes you fall in love with them every time you see them. The fact they're always so loveable helps. They're designed to be loveable, of course, as they wouldn't be doing their jobs properly if they weren't entertaining and enthralling you in equal measure. They make you laugh, they make you cry and sometimes they leave and come back again so you can fall in love with them all over again. But sometimes they don't. In fact, there are far too many beloved characters whose time on our screens, for whatever reason, is cut short before it's truly begun. Whether it's as the result of death or because of some other other all empowering means, the harsh reality of time travel is that, sometimes, you have to say goodbye to the ones you love. But they live on, as long as those who remain stay loyal to them (wrong franchise?) and here's our tribute to 12 Doctor Who characters who you miss more every day. Some left, some died and some just can't stay away, but they're the ones who grabbed our Whovian heart(s) with both hands and never let go. Where would the universe be without them?
