Doctor Who: 10 Characters From Other TV Shows Who Would Make Great Companions

By Hayley May Phillips /

6. Chandler Bing€“ Friends

It would be strange to see the loveable, funny Chandler Bing inside the TARDIS but I think the assistant€™s life would suit him well. There wouldn€™t be anything too long term for this commitment-phobe €“ he could even escape the Doctor if he hid deep enough within the TARDIS. He€™s quite clever €“ or at least he appears to be €“ doing a job that seems to pay quite well, even if his friends aren€™t quite sure of what it is. So, he€™d be able to work out what was going on quickly in order to help. Also, being married to the control-freak Monica has got him used to the assistant status; he€™d easily take orders and the Doctor wouldn€™t need to worry about him defying them, unless there was a chance for a joke. But the main reason that Chandler would be a brilliant companion is his sense of humour. Through ten series of Friends, he never failed to make us laugh. We€™d love to hear him use his timeless sarcastic comments and witty comebacks to fend off aliens. With Chandler in the TARDIS: could it BE any funnier?
