Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

Whilst I have been highly critical of this current Dr, I thought this episode was better.

I think I know what is holding this Dr back, and it's his companions. Amy and Rory just don't cut the mustard. I think Matt Smith still has it in him to be a good Doctor Who but Amy and Rory are just a snooze fest

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

I agree, there are one too many companions.
Rory should fill the 'Mickey' companion role, only appearing occasionally :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

I'd put the Matt Smith doctor and Rory into the 'Adric' companion role - left on a ship about to crash into a planet.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

Not a chance, Rory is nowhere near as irritating as Adric.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

'Adric' :Geez, you guys are showing your age now, huh? :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

The most annoying companion will always be Mel! Lol.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

Well it was Bonnie langford, but anything to do with the Sylvester Mccoy period was very bad and nearly killed of the series for good.

I really liked the 7th Doctor, it's the one I remember the most. He had some great stories and was rather mysterious. Ace was a great companion.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

Ace was a two dimensional, walking cliche. And the show during its final three seasons under John Nathan-Turner and Andrew Cartmel veered alarmingly from the sublime (Remembrance of the Daleks, The Curse of Fenric) to the utterly ridiculous (The Happiness Patrol) via the tooth-jarring, pseudo-highbrow (Ghost Light) and the mediocre (Survival - irony of ironies, because it didn't).

Nevertheless, the show held its own reasonably well during that period and it really only died off because Michael Grade hates science fiction and actively sought to undermine it. It was scheduled against Coronation Street, with predictable ratings results.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

Sad, I know, but I still think the heavy weapons dalek was cool..

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

Nonsense, Michael Grade nearly killed it off, no one else.

I loved them as well, one of my favourite pairings (my other two favs were both from the Jon Pertwee era).

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

Ridiculous yes but as far as im concerned one of the BEST multi-parter epp ever. As a kid the idea of a giant evil Berty Bassit was the ONLY Dr who monster that ever scared me.

Killer sweets :shocked:

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

HHHmmm Peri :)

What with her and Servalan from Blakes 7 I think my puberty was sorted ;)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

There's was, quite regularly, more than one companion with the Doc in old Who. (IIRC :p:)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
 

Indeed, I think every doctor (from William Hartnell until Peter Davidson anyway has had at least one occassion when they have had more than one assistant.
