Leela … though she’d probably kill and eat me afterwards. ---

Having discussed this with Husband, he says he swaps all mentions of “River Song” and “Martha Jones” and votes three times for Martha. He also votes for River (once) and for Oswin. And you forgot Reinette (Madame Pompadour) and Idris/Sexy/The TARDIS. ---

I protest the suggestion that I chose to ignore certain candidates out of anything other than pointless malice & childish spite. I did not forget Reinette. I IGNORED her, just as I ignored Rose Tyler. ---

Ace is my kind of woman. Sort of. But if forced to limit myself to those presented, I pick Amy Pond. ---

Red hair, Scottish accent, the legs, the face… Karen Gillan is the top of my list of all humans I would like to shag. So obviously she is at the top of the Who companions list. ---

I had a really strong attraction to Nyssa back in the day: [https://www.google.com/search?q=nyssa+dr+who&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=CAP&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=3dgmUfvJE9Dw0QGR94G4DA&ved=0CAcQ\_AUoAQ](https://www.google.com/search?q=nyssa+dr+who&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=CAP&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=3dgmUfvJE9Dw0QGR94G4DA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ) When she dropped her skirts in that Lazars episode I nearly passed out. ---

I didn’t know “fancied” was British for thinking someone cute. I always thought she just didn’t like that guy. And I did not catch that Amy was flirting with herself. I voted for many, especially Oswin in her Carmen outfit (with the flower in her hair!). My best friend went to Gally this last weekend and, although she’s an Amy Pond girl, she quickly fell for Martha, as she said that Martha is an absolutely gorgeous person. And that accent just adds to it. ---

What about one-off’s like Astrid Peth (Kylie Minogue)? And the new companion Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman) is pretty cute. Really the Doctor doesn’t travel with a lot of unshaggable companions (except Catherine Tate. She’s kind of unpleasant) ---

D’oh! :smack: I actually meant to post that remark in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16028534#post16028534). Oh well. Ok, Ok, if I had to choose one - I’d say Lady Christina de Souza from “Planet of the Dead” - just 'cuz nobody has mentioned her yet. or [Romana #1](http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/drdinky/DrWWWWHO/PICTURES/DrWHO%5BMaryTamm12%5D.jpg). Completely off-topic, but remember the scene from “Destiny of the Daleks” when Romana was regenerating and “trying on bodies” - do those “looks” she tried out count as lapsed regenerations? Does that then make Lalla Ward’s version Romana #5 or so? Wait no, I know you didn’t really want to remember that scene…Carry on. ---

I’ve seen Jackie Tyler at Gallifrey 23 - what the hell, I’d hit that. Saw Martha at Gallifrey 24 - _definitely_ would hit that. To be honest, I’m not choosy - I’d hit all the female nu-Who companions. Something tells me that Donna Noble would be pretty wild in the sack, especially with a drink or two in her. Same with River Song: though I don’t think she’s very pretty in the face, her body I could bounce off of _all… day… long_. I agree with Skald about you-know-who: she’s just too damned whiny for my tastes and probably would give it up like she’s doing you a favor. Or like she’s picturing Tennant in her mind and doesn’t care that you know. Amy is probably one of the loveliest ladies I’ve seen on TV.
