Doctor Who! That thing of wonder! That British Cultural Icon that has graced the small screen for more than 5 decades (well, except for the odd decade and a half when it wasn't on).
Having recently enjoyed it's 8th series since the huge revival in 2005, it inexplicably remains as popular as ever with viewers in the UK, and beyond. Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman star as the 12th (sort of) Doctor and his companion Clara Oswald in the current series, as they face Daleks, Cybermen, and Victorian Reptilian Lesbians in their adventures through the stars.
Cuz there aint nothing wrong with Reptilian Lesbians
I have to admit, so far I'm not too sold on the current regulars. I wasn't the hugest fan of Clara when she first started, alongside Matt Smith's Doctor. Since the new guy has taken over, she's admittedly better than she was, but still has a way to go before I'd place the current TARDIS team amongst my favourites. So, I hear you ask, who would I place amongst my favourites? Well, aren't you lucky, as I have a whole Top 10 for you. What do you mean you're not interested? Just suck it up and read. You can get back to your Dapol Davros later.
10. The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith (Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen)
"Why no, I'm not wearing any knickers"
Sarah Jane Smith has a somewhat iconic status amongst Doctor Who fandom. It's not hard to see why, during the original series she had an impressive run of 3-and-a-bit seasons between 1973 and 1976, and later on was the star of the first ever spin off from Doctor Who, 'K9 & Company', that ran for, er, one episode in 1981 (she would of course, much later, get a slightly more successful spin off series).
Don't ask....
Sarah Jane originally appeared in the first serial of Jon Pertwee's final season as the Doctor, "The Time Warrior", introduced as a plucky young journalist who stows away on the TARDIS as she searches for a scoop (story, not ice-cream). She continued with the Pert for the remainder of the season, until he transmogrified (or, regenerated if you prefer) in to grinning loon TOM BAKER. Taking the change in her stride as any journalist would, they picked up military surgeon Harry Sullivan (Ian Marter) who bounded around with them for Baker's first season.
Harry was only qualified to 'work on sailors'.
During her time with Pertwee, Sarah Jane was saddled with being a bit of a straw feminist. Whilst Who had seen strong female characters in the past, Sarah Jane was forced to be what showrunners Barry Letts & Terrance Dicks viewed as 'a feminist' mouthing off about women's lib whilst running away from Chewits Dinosaurs.
I like to chew-it, chew-it...
Once Baker had taken over the role, instantly it was clear that her rapport with the new Doctor was much stronger than with the Pert, however initially she had to share time with Harry, who's role amounted to being insulted by the Doctor and being patronising towards Sarah Jane. Once Harry had disappearred however, is when the magic happened.
After his first year getting settled into the role, Baker started improvising with his lines and actions, and encouraged Sladen to do the same. On screen, the two were clearly thick as thieves, and in the serial "The Seeds of Doom", the Doctor called Sarah Jane 'my best friend', the first time he had referred to any of his travelling companions in a such a way.
Now this is what two people having a great time look like
When Sladen decided enough was enough, she left the Doctor as he headed home to Gallifrey. Much later, in the revival series, Rusty D brough Sarah Jane back alongside David Tennant's Doctor, in which a romantic undertone was added that was never apparent before. As much as I love Rusty, that was one beat too far for me, as personally I like to remember Sarah Jane as the Doctor's best friend, rather than love interest, and that doesn't make them any less close. 9. The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble (David Tennant and Catherine Tate)
Oooh, doesn't he look a right letch?
Rusty, Rusty, Rusty, oh we love you. But boy were you obsessed with the romance when it came to Doctors and their companions. After the first two seasons of the revival pushed the 'OMG! Doctor/Rose romance' angle, and the third pushed the 'OMG! Martha loves the Doctor but he thinks she's a horse' angle, he realised in Year 4 it was time to do something different. And doing that involved bringing back his one-shot companion Donna from the 2006 Christmas special, who at the time filled the 'LOL she's not good enough to be a companion and she doesn't fancy the Doctor, ha!' role. After a year of Martha touching herself and crying in a dark room whilst thinking of the Doctor, Donna was exactly what the audience needed.
"Shag me! Shag me! Please shag me! Waahhhh!"
In the first episode of Season 4 of the revival, "Partners in Crime", Donna found the Doc after spending the last year searching for him, following their exciting Christmas adventure. After they become entangled in shenanigans and Donna this time expresses her desire to travel with the Doctor, he informs her "I'm just looking for a mate", Donna, offended, bwilliantly (TM David Tennant) counters "You're not mating with me, Sunshine!".
Donna meets a Sontaran. Hmmmmm, something seems odd about this picture...
As the season progressed, Donna and the Doc became firm friends, and romance never entered the equation. Well, it did for Donna, only with other blokes. All good things must come to an end however, and after the fan-pleasing epic wank fest that was 'Journey's End', poor Donna ended up mind-wiped and unable to meet the Doctor ever again. Sort of. 8. The Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough (Peter Davison, Janet Fielding and Mark Strickson)
Someone left the dry ice machine on
Peter Davison is known amongst Dr Who fans and casual viewers alike as the wet, passive, toast and margerine Doctor that replaced the legend that is TOM BAKER. What didn't help Davison and his bland performance was having to share time with 3, count 'em, three other regulars for the majority of his first season. You had the bland Doctor, the annoying brat (Adric) the personality void plank (Nyssa) and, thank God, the only interesting an engaging character, the brash, loud-mouthed Ozzie, Tegan.
That time of the month again
Viewers cried with joy when Adric was blown in to a million pieces and the Doctor claimed there was no way he could go back to save him (yeah right). But it was still a way to go before the Fifth Dr was to have a completely winning team. Of course, we all know that Davison had been lobbying to retain cardboard girl Nyssa as his companion, which led to Adric biting the dust instead of her. Davison insisted that Nyssa's character (what character?) was more suited to his Doctor than any of the other companions, and of course I'm sure this had nothing to do with any alleged extra-marital relations he allegedly may have allegedly been having with Nyssa actress Sarah Sutton. Allegedly. However, the man with a plan (and lots of Hawaiaan shirts) Dr Who's then producer JNT realised between Davison's first and second seasons that Nyssa was a complete waste of space and declined to re-new Sutton's contract when it expired, which led to Nyssa departing midway through a story arc and her infamously stripping down to her undies (but no-one was fooled, she still had no personality).
Slag
JNT resalised that if he was going to have a limp-wristed Nancy of a Doctor, the supporting characters needed to be strong. He already had Tegan, the ball busting bitch that was probably modelled on his secret Ozzie Drag alter-ego (you so KNOW that was a thing), so he thought he'd get another strong companion character, this time a male, make him a bit of a bad boy, and have him played by a young twinky actor in a schoolboy uniform.
I'm not insinuating anything... ahem.
And thus, Turlough is born. After spending his first three serials skuliking around and trying-but failing- to kill the Doctor whenever his back was turned, Turlough eventually became a firm ally of the Doctor (although he always seemed a bit shifty). The reason that the Dr-Tegan-Turlough dynamic was because, well, there actually was dynamism. Conflict was something that was rarely seen amongst the Doctor and his travelling companions, at least not since the early days. Not to this extent at least. Tegan often ended up at loggerheads with the Doctor, and Turlough gave her a second sparring parter. The fact that there was fiery sexual chemistry between Tegan and Turlough was also pretty evident, proven that when they spent the entire four episodes of Terminus crawling under the floor together, their scenes were the highlights of the story.
"Did we just?" "Uh huh..."
Things were never cosy during their time together, and that is not a bad thing at all. The team is split up in what may possibly be the most dark and depressing Doctor Who story of all time - "Resurrection of the Daleks".
At the end of the adventure, Tegan leaves the Doctor for good. Not for
romance, not to further her career, not to help disadvantaged aliens but
because.... "too many good people have died today". And she walks away.
Whilst the current series is reveling in the new Doctor's 'dark' (sic)
side and Clara's uhmming and ahhing about how she feels, the atmosphere is never as genuinely uneasy as Tegan's simple exit from the series after 3
years as the leading lady on the show.
7. The Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe (Patrick Troughton, Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury)
Once upon a time, children, TV was in black and white!
In many ways, Patrick George Troughton had the hardest job of any of the Doctor Whos. He was the one who had to prove the radical (in a hip, 60s sense) notion of regeneration as a 'thing', that the character we'd grown to know and love (and more) could carry on with a different face and personality, and yet still essentially remain the same person.
Of course, we know in hindsight, what a fantabulous job he did do, and he was quickly accepted by 1960s kiddies and their parents in equal measure. So how about giving him a good team to work with too...
Troughton Team #1 (and some flaccid Daleks)
Troughton's first travelling companions he inherited from the arse end of his predecessor's era (that would be the era that finished, er, one week before his started). Ben & Polly were the series first attempt at showing 'cool' contemporary characters. Two hip swinging young, er, hipsters reflecting that were straight off of Carnaby Street and into your television screens every Saturday teatime. Despite, however, Michael Craze's dashing good looks as Ben, and Anneke Will's grooooooovy stylin' as Polly, the cats never quite gelled. Let's face it, Doctor Who in the sixties was not cool, and no amount of pretending was going to change that. Before long, however, the trio were to bump into a very uncool, very unhip and un-swinging (well, actually, that's a bit more debatable) geezer in 18th century Scotland. And that was Jamie McCrimmon.
Joe Orton famously wanked over him and wrote about it
Jamie had an instant rapport with the Doctor (well, I presume, his first serial is long gone) and it turned out that hip young trendy companions was, well, not what the Doctor ordered. Despite the fact that Frazer Hines subsequently spent half a century on Emmerdale Farm, and seemingly got trapped in the land of fiction and turned into Joe Sugden... Jamie remains one of the most well-loved and iconic of the original series' companions, and it's impossible to think of Troughton's Doctor without his loyal lapdog Jamie at his side.
No comment....
After Polly & Ben were bundled off at the quickest opportunity, the current powers that be must've thought 'contemporary companions don't work, historical ones do', as they quickly drafted in a young, upper class Victorian character, er, Victoria.
Frazer pulls Deborah off
Sadly, Victoria did nothing much but scream, be generally annoying, and be played by Deborah Watling, someone who's acting skills were akin to that of a licorice allsort. Troughton still didn't have his golden team. Luckily however, after Victoria screamed her way out of the series, she was replaced, not with another historical character, not with a contemporary character, but, get this, a FUTURISTIC character. Mind. Blown.
Zoe's, uh, "futuristic" outfit
Zoe blew onto the scene as a space-age librarian (don't ask) who joined the Doctor and Jamie after a run in with the groovy Cybermen. Zoe was like, super smart, and liked to show off as much in between screaming and parading her arse around. The addition of Zoe also helped turn Jamie into a more of a dumb-ass character, which was only a good thing. Whereas with Victoria, he would be drafted as the muscle/protector character, with Zoe as an intelligent and strong willed (for 60s tv anyway) woman, Jamie was able to embrace his comic double act role more with the Doc. The three together were an unbeatable team. The smart Zoe, the dumb Jamie, and the somewhere-in-the-middle Doctor. Oh how we cried, when they all left the series and the production team pulled a Donna Noble exit on Jamie and Zoe, 40 years before Donna Noble had a Donna Noble exit, and the two were dumped mind-wiped back in their own time zones. *sob*
6. The Third Doctor, Liz Shaw and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (Jon Pertwee, Caroline John and Nicholas Courtney)
No, it's not The Professionals, it's Doctor Who!
Several things, firstly, just to get it out of the way, Number 6 in my rundown of Top 10 TARDIS Teams isn't *technically* a TARDIS team, given that this team never did and travelling in the TARDIS. Of course, the reason being that for the entirety of Season 7 of the original run of Dr Who, that's the season featuring this line up, NO-ONE did any TARDIS travelling.
Oh what could have been. The penny-pinching production team of the time had already decided that the only way they were going to launch Dr Who into the exciting new universe of colour television was to slash the episode count in half and ground the TARDIS on Earth, so all stories would be a contemporary (ish) UK setting. Frazer Hines was already definitely leaving in Season 6, but the plan was to keep Troughton and Padbury, and team them up with the Brigadier and UNIT. Troughton quickly decided he didn't want to go on any longer, and with both her mates leaving, Padbury decided to do the same. It's easy to see though how Zoe would have automatically slipped in as the "Scientific Advisor's assistant" at UNIT, but in retrospect, it's pleasing she decided to leave with the others and remove any cosiness that may have been felt by her still hanging around.
Liz Shaw - This bitch means business
Liz Shaw in some ways follows in the Zoe model... with a keen logical and scientific mind, and the ability to talk down to the Doctor. What she doesn't have though, is the tendency to scream at several decibels for a few minutes every episode, nor the kooky future chick bit. She's a modern woman, she doesn't scream, she's Oxbridge educated and she doesn't take shit from anyone.
Pertwee gets in to prime 'cop a feel' position
At these early days in Pertwee's run as well, his Doctor is MUCH more appealing. Whilst later on he would be known for his incredibly patronising and over-bearing attitude to his female co-stars Katy Manning and Elisabeth Sladen, (and the less said about the rumours the better) his dynamic with Caroline John as Liz, is, well, much more respectful. It's not his show yet, and she's able to dominate him in their scenes together in a way he never would have let Manning or Sladen (or at least without seeing his classic "I'm really pissed off" look).
"How would you feel about the occasional, no-strings shag, Brigadier?"
The Brigadier at this stage in the show is also a much less cuddly character. OK, he's still pretty cuddly. But not quite as cuddly as he would later become. His and the Doctor's relationship is much less like the bromance it would descend into, and was a much more, shall I say, prickly affair than it would later become. The Doc shows little loyalty to the Brig and works with them because he has to. Their massive barny in the second serial of the season, "Doctor Who and the Silurians", becoming a thing of legend.
Ways to spice up your sex life...
The Golden Gang disbanded off-screen between Seasons 7 and 8, as Liz was written out by the powers-that-be for not being dumb or pretty enough. The Brig hung around on and off for the duration of Pertwee's run as the Doc, getting castrated in the process. Liz popped up twice again on TV screens, in '83s The Five Doctors (as a phantom) and in '93's Dimensions in Time (as a.... whatever they were supposed to be?). Watching the behind the behind the scenes footage of the 5 Docs leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Pertwee treats John with nothing but utter contempt, and while he and Courtney remained friends until the end, it's an unpleasant glimpse of the man Pertwee had become, and a manner he never would have taken with either Manning or Sladen.
5. The Fourth Doctor, The Second Romana, and the Bitchy K9 (Tom Baker, Lalla Ward and David Brierly)
Not pictured: K9 (but why do you think she's grinning like that)
You know. I hate making statement's like "Lalla Ward's Romana worked with Tom Baker better than Mary Tamm's Romana did". I do. Because Mary Tamm was awesome. Like, seriously awesome. She was gorgeous, smart feisty, and generally amazing.
Faaaabulous!
But there's something about that indefinable chemistry that Lalla and Tom had together. That kind of chemistry that made them want to fuck like porn stars and have a fleeting post-series marriage. Tamm's Romana was great but had that kind of inaccessible, haughty air about her, like the best the Doctor would manage would be a sly wank over her used underwear while she was having a power shower.
Now THIS filthy bitch on the other hand...
Lalla's Romana was immediately more.... accessible, sympathetic, and fun loving than Mary's. She acted like travelling around with the Doctor was the most fun thing you could do in the universe. There's a reason why "City of Death" is one of the most loved stories of the original run, and that reason isn't Julian Glover covered in bubble wrap. It's an exciting adventure happening whilst the Doctor and Romana are on a romantic holiday in Paris.
What Up, hoes!
For their first year together, the duo are occasionally joined by K9. But not just ANY K9, the good K9. Original K9 voice actor John Leeson declined to return for Season 17, and as such was recast with David Brierly. Brierly's K9 is a fantastic addition the series, imbuing the metal dog with oodles more character than Leeson, and, well, he can best be described as really, really bitchy.
Once Brierly left and Leeson came back in Season 18, the magic had gone somewhat. JNT and Christopher Bidmead had arrived to remove as much fun from the series as possible, and Tom Baker's Doctor lost much of his manic charm and became a much more depressing character. The spark between him and Lalla seemed to die on screen, and they were soon joined by everyone's favourite brat, Adric, and in turn they both left the series.
4. The Seventh Doctor and Ace (Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred)
Radagast and friend
Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE Bonnie Langford. And I mean love. You gotta love an energetic, fierce, fiesty, ginger bitch like that.
Throwing shapes
BUT as Melanie in Doctor Who, she was served poorly by the powers that be. Giving her a crap ill defined character (Computer Programmer..... really????) and forced her to prance around being super positive and pour carrot juice down Colin Baker's throat. At the end of Sylvester McCoy's first year, Melanie inexplicably decided to ditch the Doctor and shack up in the far future with Bert from Mulberry.
Seriously, what the fuck?
Step in Sophie Aldred as Ace, a '16' year old girl who had found herself far away from Earth in the future on an intergalactic Iceland after apparently instigating a timestorm in her bedroom after playing around too much with things she didn't understand. She had a penchant for explosives masquerading as deodorant cans, and saying embarrassing things like 'Ace!' and 'Wicked!' and calling the Doctor 'Professor'.
And there wasn't' a wheelchair in sight
Despite the fact that Sophie Aldred wasn't the world's best actress, and in fact was clearly less an edgy teenager from a working class London estate and more a 20 something ex-stage school brat who had spent the last few years presenting programmes for pre-schoolers...... something between her and McCoy just clicked. Everyone may have been watching Coronation Street at the time, but if they hadn't, they would have seen the best Doctor/Companion double act since the days of Tom Baker and Lalla Ward.
I got da big guns now
As the series was cancelled around them, Ace had the most perfect ending of all companions, walking off into the sunset to experience countless more adventures. The original series would have been hard pressed to have developed an exit for Ace that was worthy of the character and her relationship with the Doctor, so leaving it to fan's imaginations was a fitting, if unplanned, gift.
3. The Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler and Captain Jack Harkness (Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper and John Barrowman)
Oooh, serious faces
It's time to cast your mind back to the ancient and hazy days of 2005. Doctor Who was a bad memory, a joke, and something that had no place on prime time British TV.... Until one crazy gay Welshman changed EVERYTHING and brought the show kicking and screaming back to the airwaves.
"Marvellous!"
Gone were the question marks, scarves, and stupid costumes that plagued the latter years of the original run, and in stepped leather-jacket wearing Christopher Eccleston. Sometimes moody, sometimes jocular, and always fantastic. Oh, and he's from the north.
"Lot's of planets have a north"
Rusty Davies knew what people liked, and he looked his cunning eye over the last time there was a regular series of Who on to see what worked and what didn't. Hmmm, mysterious Doctor, young contemporary companion straight off a council estate.... Except this time he made sure the companion didn't use ridiculous phrases like 'Ace!' and ensured someone was hired that could act, rather than prance around like they're presenting Blue Peter. And lo, Rose Tyler was born, as played by teeny-bopper starlet Billie Piper.
Because we want to!
Yes, amazingly enough, Rose Tyler acted and behaved like a real human. Something few of the supporting characters used to do in the original run. Eccleston and Piper worked 'fantastically' on scree together, despite what allegedly may have allegedly been happening behind the scenes. After a brief stint with "the companion who wasn't", aka Bruno Langley off of Coronation Street, the new series turned the dynamic duo into a fantastic, er, threesome.
And who wouldn't want a threesome with John Barrowman?
In the ninth episode of the series, whilst visiting London during the Blitz, the Doctor and Rose run into the enigmatic Captain Jack Harkness from the 50th century. Best not to ask really. The two instantly hit it off with Jack, well, Rose fancies him and the Doctor is annoyed by him, but nonetheless he remains with them for the remainder of the series, until he is mercilessly killed by a Dalek.
The bastard.
And, sadly, the dream team is broken up. Despite the fact that the three unquestionably worked very well together and had a unique dynamic, Rusty seemed unwilling to have a permanent cast featuring the Doctor and 2 companions. Whilst he would occasionally throw in the odd extra here and there, such as bundling Mickey onto the TARDIS to get rid of him, or a post-dead post-Torchwood Cap'n Jack making a return just to make Martha feel all moist, he seemingly wanted to stick to the one Doctor + One Female companion dynamic. It's a shame, not least because Rose became a much less interesting character once Jack disappeared and Eccleston regenerated into Tennant. With the younger-looking, prettier and doe-eyed Tenth Doctor, the relationship between him and Rose became a much simpler case of Rose sighing 'Oh isn't he dreamy' and melting all over the TARDIS console, rather than the more satisfying and interesting relationship present in the first series of the revival. And the less said about the life size breathing sex clone she ends up with the better.
2. The First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan (William Hartnell, William Russell, Jacqueline Hill and Carole Ann Ford)
A simpler time. Where men were men and women wore wooly jumpers
Doctor Who: The Early Years. Of course, when Doctor Who started it wasn't the beast that we know and love today. It was a quaint, eerie little show about two schoolteachers who get kidnapped by a mysterious alien and his granddaughter, and get dragged into adventures across space and.... yes, even time itself.
Sieg Heil!
Its been said and trotted out sagely by anoraks, er, fans for decades but I'm going to say it here because it's true - the early years of Dr Who were much less the Doctor-centric and were much more of an ensemble. When the Doctor is a geriatric old fool it makes sense that he's not going to be the ballsy action figure that we demand today. Peter Capaldi may be the same age roughly as Hartnell was when he took the role, but Capaldi is played as a looked-after-himself middle aged body rather than a 'in-danger-of-being-embalmed-at-any-minute' type that Hartnell's Doctor was.
Is that formaldehyde I smell?
Ian and Barbara were incredibly endearing characters acting as audience-identification figures and often playing key roles in wrapping up the stories (once the Dr had deliberately made things go all tits up in the first place). They're the kind of people I imagine every middle class 60s child wanted as their parents. Defeating alien monsters with cardigans and then sitting down for a cup of tea and a read of the newspaper afterwards.
"Good news Ian, they've got strawberry Durex play in stock!"
And as for Susan... well, to be fair the less said about Susan the better. She may have been the Doctor's granddaughter but all she generally did was whine and be annoying. I probably prefer Vicki who was much less fucking annoying, but it seemed more magical to include the 'first line up' than the... second one.
So just, you know, get over it
I'm probably a bad Dr Who fan. In the long run I don't think anyone ever really topped these golden, halcyon days... that is, until...
1. The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams (Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darville)
...This lot:
Serving Top Hat Realness
David Tennant may officially be the most popular Doctor Who in all of Who-dom, but by God by the end of his run he was a proper whiny little catchphrase shouting Bitch. "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry", "Allonsy Allonsy" and "I am the Oncoming Storm Motherfucker". Etc etc etc
Seriously, just fuck off
When Matt Smith fell out of the sky into young Amelia Pond's garden it was the exact kick up the arse the show needed at that point. The zany and madcap Eleventh Doctor was a delightful contrast to Tennant's tenure as the, er tenth. Once Amy signed up to travelling with the Doctor, I'm sure there was a collective groan from ming mongs everywhere who were worried she was going to go the way of Rose and Martha and spend her whole time making doe-eyes at him whilst gently touching herself.
Whereas the Rusty years gave us a Doctor who swooped in on a girl, took her away from her life and her boyfriend.... and made her realise how shit her life and boyfriend were and that she just wanted to escape.... here we see the Doctor swoop in on a girl, take her away from her life and her boyfriend and... make her realise just how awesome her life and her boyfriend is. And then they get married. And become the first married couple to travel together on the TARDIS.
And I'm pretty sure they were fucking like coked up rabbits
The dynamic between the group was like three amazing friends having amazing times together. OK, like a married couple and their amazing friend, having amazing times, but not like in a third wheel way.
Check shirts are cool
And of course, we also have the Doctor's on again/off again wife River Song (who is also inexplicably Rory & Amy's daughter) as a drop in character during this era. I'm one of those that absolutely LOVED Alex Kingston's portrayal as this fantastic character, and to be honest, most of the negative comments I've read online are just misogynistic tripe anyway.
Errrr, it's a sexually aggressive woman over 40!
Of course, the Ponds couldn't carry on for ever, and after an impressive 2 and a half series as the Doctor's besties, they went for good, trapped in 1950's New York. River soon stopped appearing aswell, and Clara became the Doctor's latest travelling companion. After several years and 2 Doctors.... I still haven't warmed to her. But then I still haven't warmed to Capaldi either. Oh well, maybe after another 50 years we'll have another line up to threaten the place of 11, Amy & Rory as the best TARDIS team of all time.
