The Best and Worst EVER Doctor Who Companions

Ok, here are my choices:

THE BEST

Ben Chatham
Liz Shaw
Sarah Jane Smith
Adric

THE WORST

Martha Jones & Amy Pond (joint worst)
Mel
Ace

I would state that you can't count fan fiction characters, but I know better than to open that old can of worms so I'll just give you my list (seeing as everybody else is ignooring it).

THE BEST:

Clara Oswald/Oswin (Sorta biased because she looks like the main character in the novel series I'm writing. She's also a local lass, comming from lancashire and all )
Amy Pond (Sweet, funny and Scottish. 'Nuff said)
Sarah Jane Smith (The legend)
Leela (A tribal chick who could stick it to the most fearsome monsters -and rather unique compared to all others)
Romana (A Timelady. Again, 'nuff said. Almost as brilliant as the Doctor, but not quite)

THE WORST

Teegan Jovanca (Public enemy number one. In the words of Joey from Friends 'I want to tear my arm off, just to have something to throw at her)
Martha (So whiny and shrill. If you don't like it, go home!)
Donna Noble (Mega annoying most of the time, and meh when she isn't)
Series 2 Rose (Smug and bitchy. What changed from series one?!)
Adric ('Nuff said )

best: ian, Barbara, Steven, Polly, Jack, Donna, K-9, Rose

worst: Ace, adric, amy, mel

Best: Romana (both), K9, Sarah Jane and Steven

Worst: Rose, Adric, Tegan and Mel
