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

Untitled-21 It goes without saying that we€™d all love to see a Star Wars or Star Trek collaboration with Doctor Who. And we would definitely love to see Arthur Dent of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy gallivanting around the TARDIS considering the references they€™ve dropped over the years. But there are lots of characters from a whole range of television programmes who would make brilliant companions for the Doctor. Whether it€™s for their quirks, abilities or even their pure love of science-fiction, there are many suitable candidates. However ten have been chosen, so read on to find out which of our favourite television characters have been chosen to travel through time and space at the Doctors side.

10. Kate Austen €“ Lost

kate The Doctor likes to have a companion. Sometimes he takes them with him full time. These ones tend to be innocent, selfless and relatable; they€™re in awe of the universe and will do anything they can to help. Then there€™s the ones that star in just one episode, the ones that are a little more headstrong and self-assured. The Doctor and the audience end up liking them despite themselves. Kate seems to fall into this category. Like Lady Christina de Souza, who starred in the episode €˜Planet of the Dead€™ and helped the Doctor to save both a bus-full of people and the Earth from the creatures edging towards the wormhole, Kate lives a life of crime. She€™s staged a bank robbery, she€™s murdered her father and she€™s drugged her boyfriend. She€™s not exactly the girl that the Doctor would want hanging around all the time but he€™d certainly find her interesting and useful. Having fended for herself on the island, climbing trees whilst foraging for food and fixing up wounds, she€™d be great in a crisis, helping out the injured and getting herself out of tricky situations. She would definitely be one of the companions who tries to do everything herself and rarely calls for the Doctor.
