Doctor Who: Every NuWho Companion Ranked From Worst To Best
16. Mickey Smith
Poor Mickey, The Doctor basically ruined his life, didn't he? He had a relatively good and easy life with Rose Tyler and then, out of nowhere, The Doctor grabbed her hand, told her to run, and it was the beginning of the end for Mickey Smith.
Not only did he get eaten by a bin (at least he survived that one) but he had to contend with a missing person's arrest charge after Rose vanished for a year. On top of that, he had to watch his girlfriend grow closer and closer to the Time Lord who, at best, tolerated him being around.
When it finally became too much, Mickey opted to stay in the other universe, reuniting with the gran he'd lost, taking the place of Ricky Smith, his slain counterpart.
He would return to help The Doctor and Rose several times, showing how resiliant and strong he had become - eventually going on to marry Martha Jones and heading out to save the galaxy together.
