Noooo. Sophie Aldred was (and still is judging by the last interview I heard) irritating. To me anyway.

Tom Baker/Lalla Ward are (IMO) the best combo.

TB was my second favorite Doctor after McCoy, but Lalla Ward still ended up playing the helpless female too many times, even though she was supposed to be this capable barbarian fighter type. Oh, and he was saddled with bloody K9 too much of the time.

True, K9 was irritating... Much more pompous and irritating than any of the Doctor's humanoid assistants.

I always wondered how much use a hyper intelligent talking dog would be if it couldn't climb stairs.

Oh, when I said Lalla Ward, I was referring to Romana (fellow timelord who did occasionally get to play the helpless female). I think you are thinking of Leela (Louise Jameson).

I don't care who it is as long as they don't fecking scream all the time.In fact the rule should be no screaming.

The only one I like was the blood thirsty Leila,she was too busy trying to kill things to scream.

Didn't Louis Jameson appear on Eastenders?

Incog.

Ace didn't scream - she liked to blow things up - especially Daleks

Doctor: "Hmm, we're in trouble, what should we do?"

Ace: "I've got some Nitro-9 in my bag, Professor..."

Doctor: "NO, Ace!!!"

billie as the new assistant - how pathetic. putting one of the country's best actors with billie is a travesty.

Ah well I never watched Sylvestor McCoy as Dr Who.THAT was the travesty choosing that p*llock.He turned the DR into a joke.

Actually, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred were both terrible.. I have to admit, I did watch it every week, but only in the vain hope it got better..

I guess they'll be fitting a bar inside the Tardis then? I hope they keep it well stocked or she will not be happy!
