Doctor Who: Every NuWho Companion Ranked From Worst To Best

12. Rory Pond-Williams

Doctor Who Sarah Jane
BBC

Poor Rory. I mean, seriously - POOR RORY.

At one point in time, Steven Moffat could claim dual-titles on his CV - Doctor Who show-runner and professional Rory-killer. Rory seemed to die in every second episode, only to be resurrected - often, just to die again!

Yet Rory brought a heart to the series that can sometimes be lacking. His love for Amy transcended everything else that happened on any adventure - all the time trying to keep her safe. While this led him to trouble on many occasions, it also paid off in the end. She loved him back as fiercely as he loved her, electing to put her trust in a Weeping Angel's touch just on the chance that she could be with him again.

Rory had one great gift to give and that was his humanity. The TARDIS was a poorer place without him.
