Doctor Who: 30 NuWho Characters Who Would've Made Fantastic Full-Time Companions

Appeared in: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, The Power of Three.

Brian, what were you thinking?! But he's got a point: someone does need to water the plants (you can imagine him taking pleasure in that), and having two TARDIS trips involving two of the coolest things ever is a lifetime's worth of adventures. Bet that trowel of his came in handy on Siluria!

Talking of those simple pleasures, Brian will have got just as much joy from watching our beautiful planet Earth from above whilst enjoying a sandwich and a comforting cuppa. Bliss.

There was a serious side to him - he did a "Dad Talk" by asking the Doctor about what happened to the other people who travelled with him. However he still actively encouraged Amy and Rory to enjoy the Doctor life... oh how things then took a heartbreakingly bittersweet turn...
