Meme of the week: Favourite Doctor Who companion

It may be dumb to give meme of the week a regular weekly slot on a Wednesday, but dumb’s my middle name and we can always argue that we’re trying to break down conventional definitions and concepts like ‘week’.

So to launch it in a blaze of glory/polite indifference (I’ll delete as applicable next week when we find out the state of play), since just about everyone here watches Doctor Who:

Who’s your favourite Doctor Who companion and why? And for the adventurous, who’s your least favourite/most hated?

Today’s Joanna Page: Top of the Pops

Next week, more rampant (implied) Joanna Page nudity in Ready When Your Are, Mr McGill, which ITV thoughtfully decided to repeat last week. Until then, you’re just going to have to cope with her and most of the cast of Gavin & Stacey as backing singers on Comic Relief‘s revival of Top of the Pops last Friday. It’s Tom Jones, Ness and Bryn singing ‘Islands in the Stream’, which went to number one this week – can you believe that Sir Tom actually complained to Ruth Jones that Stacey’s accent was too Swansea?

Anyway, enjoy!
