I worry about the sanity of the 38% of dopers who would \*not \*shag Amy Pond. ---

Jenna-Louise Coleman (Clara) got topless for BBC4 just a few months ago. I am furious I’m at work and won’t be able to…uhh…_verify_ this until much later. Honestly, almost all of the nu-Who female companions have been cute. Of all the “proper” companions (as opposed to one-offs, or “half-panions” like Rose’s mum,) Donna is the only one I’m not attracted to. But in the interest of being shallow and superficial, and limiting my choices, I’ll just say my top three (in no particular order) are: Amy Pond Oswin/Clara Martha Jones ---

I would go down on Ace every day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Limited to new Who, there’s really not a companion who I wouldn’t like to take over the Tardis console. Martha is the most beautiful, with Amy Pond maybe tying. I’m rather indifferent to Rose in pretty much every way, shape, and form, but she is nice to look at. Donna’s most like someone I’d actually want to date, and may I add, possessor of the best rack of the new companions. Bouncy castle indeed. I need to get to know Clara first. ---

> [@The\_Other\_Waldo\_Pepper](#): > > Does that also mean you ignored Sally Sparrow? Pre NuWho.

Pure madness, though in fact I understand it. Though you overstate the matter, Alex Kingston is not blessed with a beautiful face.

She’s kind of unpleasant) 😕 Clara is the FIRST CHOICE IN THE POLL. And I’ve already noted that persons omitted were done so to be cruel. As to Catherine Tate: there is no Companion by that name. I listed CHARACTERS, not actors. And while I’ll concede that Donna Noble is also less that lovely, she’s funny and engaging as hell. She’s also fairly unique among the NuWho companions in being fairly objective about the Doctor. Rose & Martha were both in love with him; River and Amy love him but can just barely stand him sometimes and periodically must withdraw from his presence to discuss his faults (or gang up on him to destroy his hats). > [@standingwave](#): > > Not entirely true.

I love Amy as a character, but damned if I _trust_ her.

She’s certainly _beautiful_ –probably the most beautiful woman on the list–but beautiful in the way of a painting. Amy is less beautiful, but more hot. River is considerably less beautiful (even allowing for the difference in age), but is far, far more hot. ---

Sally Sparrow is the girl from _Blink_. She’s current to you. ---

Yup, Sally Sparrow is definitely NuWho. \*Blink \*is easily one of the best NuWho episodes. ---

> [@Maggie\_the\_Ocelot](#): > > Sally Sparrow is the girl from _Blink_. She’s current to you. So is the Kylie Minogue character from the Titanic episode. Which part of “pointless malice and childless spite” was not clear to you? Anyway, I was only counting people who’d ridden in the Tardis. Except for Clara, because it’s clear that she will be riding in it soon and has already been inside; and except for Harriet Jones, because I felt like it. Anyway, all Rhymer poll are deliberately unjust. Seriously, what’s the point of the SkaldFaq if nobody memorizes it? > [@Tangent](#): > > Yup, Sally Sparrow is definitely NuWho. \*Blink \*is easily one of the best I’ll episodes. I’ll go you one further. NuWho is the BEST NuWho episode not featuring Matt Smith, who of course is the best NuDoctor. Why? Because he’s the first one I saw, that’s why, and Rhymer are terribly provincial. ---
