These words do not make sense in the way in which they are arranged. You mean ol’ horse-face?
I believe that title would better fit Donna.
River’s hotness is the one thing I like about the character post-Davies. She was also the hottest on ER.
Since Jamie doesn’t age noticeably in the series, it would seem that would be about 3 years, same as for the audience.
If you believe the fan season 6b theory, Jamie was returned to the TARDIS for another 20 years of travel.
Romana, however, could have travelled with the Doctor for decades, without ageing noticeably.

Three times. We get an archive flash in the, “Basically, run,” scene. We see that the Doctor’s library card still looks like Wm Hartnell in a later ep. And a whole bunch of Doctors sort of pop up on video screens and as computer sculptures in the big anniversary special with Wm Hurt and Tennant.
I think Idris was the woman who got the TARDIS’s consciousness downloaded in, not the TARDIS itself?
Well, he’s Welsh, you see, so it’s not strange. Much of Wales is named Jones anyway.

Hey everyone, there’s a couple of guys here who want you to know that there are women on TV that don’t make their dicks hard. Just so you know. We’d better pay attention, it might be relevant to the conversation. :rolleyes:
If we’re counting actual logged TARDIS time, the answer is probably Jamie, or possibly Sarah Jane. Of course, we don’t know how long Ace traveled with the Doctor before going back home. If the extended universe is any indication, quite a while. New series, Amy and Rory have to be the longest (if we count each Clara as an individual companion).
This needs to be posted in every Skald thread that devolves into a discussion of hotness.
I have nothing against Billie Piper’s hotness. I just have an irrational hatred of Rose. Probably the eyeliner. As for Michelle Trachtenberg, she’s not ugly; she just looked 12 years old when last I saw her, on that nurse show.
I think Catherine Tate was chosen because she isn’t pretty, though playing Smart!Donna she was certainly hot.
Yes, that was going to be my point, until they informed me Jo was named by somebody else.
The thing I always liked about Rose, Donna, and Martha is that they’re all pretty, but they’re pretty in the sense of “that hot girl over in accounting”. BBC level hotness. Amy and Clara are Hollywood level hot, which is ridiculous.
Martha, I would say, is on the same level of beauty as Amy & Clara.
Donna isn’t at all pretty, but she is quite hot once they let her be smart (read: once her character developed into a smart person).
In the interest of gender equality, I’d like to note that the only doable Doctors are Ten and Eight, and both of them are debatable. It depends on your tolerance for hyperactive stick men, or men who look a bit like Guy Smiley in a wig. Tom Baker, of course, actively frightens my vagina.
You know, since every conversation about the companions devolves into which one we all want to bend over the console the most, it seems fair.
The Fifth Doctor isn’t included? I always understood that Peter Davison as a young man was considered more-or-less “cute.”
Yeah, he’s okay. A little beige. Clearly balding.
Conjecture warning…
Given that Romana, companion to the Fourth Doctor, was like him a Time Lord and therefore aged as slowly as he did, she could have spent a century with him. And probably did. The 4th on several occasions gave his age as being in the mid-seven-hundreds. However, by “Time and The Rani” (the first episode of the Seventh) he states his age as 953.
(Yes, I know this is contradicted by the new series, particularly the Tenth stating he was 904 years old in “Day of the Doctor.” I think, post-Gallifrey/Time War, he began to lose track of how old he was.)
Also, between “Time-Flight” and “Arc of Infinity” Nyssa travelled alone with the Fifth Doctor, before picking Tegan up again. I don’t know what kind of lifespan Trakenites have, but it’s conceivable that Nyssa could have spent 20-30 and not aged appreciably.
Good point. The same could be said of Turlough post Resurrection of the Daleks, pre Planet of Fire. I don’t recall Trion lifespan getting a mention, though it’s been a few years since I’ve watched that era.
I wrote a long post talking about this, but you beat me to it.
I also wanted to point out that Jamie didn’t actually spend as much time in the TARDIS as you might think. In the First and Second Doctor eras every serial pretty much ran directly into the next, with no gaps – meaning we see basically every day Jamie spends in the TARDIS on screen, and it really doesn’t add up to more than a few weeks. They were just very action-packed weeks! And yes, that means the Doctor’s second incarnation didn’t live very long at all.
That isn’t necessarily true. *Some *of the adventure ran directly from one to the next. Others there was a definite gap between stories, where you could have months or years and any number of unscreened adventures.
The Brigadier has always been an anomaly. As Bricker points out, he’d never travelled with the Doctor - I don’t even know if he’d ever even been inside the TARDIS. So he’s certainly not a companion in the classic sense.
OTOH, he saw more of the Doctor’s faces than any one else. He was the longest-running, most consistent presence in the Doctor’s life. Going meta, Nicholas Courtney has to have been the actor with the longest association with the show; his only possible rival being Elizabeth Sladen.
Really? Most of the female Who fans I know consider Nine to be the most beddable. Different strokes, I guess. So to speak.
