Doctor Who: Every NuWho Companion Ranked From Worst To Best

by Sean Ferrick

1. Donna Noble

Supertemp from Chiswick! There was no question as to who was going to to this list of companions!

Donna Noble, from her very first appearance in her wedding dress to her final appearance...in her wedding dress...was an absolute blast from start to finish. Her rougher edges were smoothed by The Doctor, while she managed to push him in a way that no other companion had, while also sometimes pulling him up short.

The Doctor Donna may have ended up a crushing end for this faithful companion but Donna's lasting impact has yet to fade. While there have been strong companions since her departure, Catherine Tate's 100wordsaminute Donna Temple-Noble is the number one companion to travel with The Doctor since it came back to our screens in 2005!
