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

2. Zaphod Beeblebrox €“ The Hitchhikers€™ Guide To The Galaxy

He may already have experience travelling the universe, hell; he€™s the president of the galaxy! But despite his background knowledge and respectable position of power, would the Doctor really want him hanging around? He€™s not exactly the nicest guy, but most shrug that off; he€™s far too charismatic that none really care. But, the Doctor is brilliant and intelligent €“ he€™d see right through the façade to Zaphod€™s vanity, hedonism and self-indulgence. There may be people to save and aliens to fight but Zaphod would be running himself through the TARDIS€™ computer or pressing any button that looked appealing. And that€™s only if he wasn€™t trying to steal the TARDIS! He€™s already stolen the Heart Of Gold, the best ship in the galaxy, who€™s to say he wouldn€™t want the greatest ship in the universe? As soon as the Doctor steps out of those big blue doors, Zaphod would be straight the control desk: disappearing there and reappearing anywhere.
