3. Plasmavore Henchmen
Martha Jones wasn't Doctor Who's most popular companion, but she got it bang on during Series 3's Smith and Jones, her induction into the world of David's Tennant's Toni & Guy-styled time fop. Her hospital had just been dumped on the Moon by the Judoon (and the dish ran away with the spoon) whilst its corridors were being stalked by Anne Reid's deceptively dotty Plasmavore.

Their support of a psychotic old lady in a nightie carrying a deadly... uh, straw... made the adversaries that week a calculator jockey's dream.
