1. The Doctor Needs Her Just As Much As She Needs Him... And She Knows It
It's a common and inevitable trait for companions to become reliant on the Doctor but it's only once in a blue moon that the feelings will be reciprocated. The Doctor and Clara have now been through so much together that they probably wouldn't know how to function if they were ever apart. Not that they'd ever admit that themselves, of course. In short, there's no hierarchy in the TARDIS when the Doctor and Clara Oswald are on board. In fact, most of the time it's hard to even determine who actually wears the trousers in their relationship at all. Metaphorically speaking, of course. With their glory days ahead of them, who knows what trials and tribulations lie await in Series 9? As always, only time will tell... What did you think of this list? Do you agree/disagree that Clara Oswald is the greatest Doctor Who companion? What are your favourite Clara moments? Join the conversation in the comments section below!
