Doctor Who: 10 Reasons Clara Oswald Is The Best Companion Ever
6. She's The Reason The Doctor Stole The TARDIS In The First Place, And The Reason He Learned To Embrace His Fears
OK, so the Doctor is so reckless that he would've stolen a TARDIS whether Clara had been there or not, but his future companion told him which one to steal which means that he - and us - basically have her to thank for all of his subsequent time and space adventures. And just like she foretold, he's had a lot more fun along the way. She's been watching over him from the very beginning, of course, as she was also seemingly responsible for instilling the Doctor's innate appreciation of fear after reassuring him after a nightmare during his formative years on Gallifrey. Where would he be without her?! Six feet under on Trenzalore, probably.
