The most attractive woman to appear in Nu Who is Tish, Martha’s sister.
Freema’s okayish until she puts on that frowny face or talks.
Catherine’s okayish but so not my cup of tea. Were a gun put to my head, I’d choose her.
I wouldn’t touch Billie with a bargepole, let alone my cock.
I’d still do Sarah Jane 
Billie Piper was cute when she was on Dr. Who (despite suffering from 'too many teeth syndrome), but now she’s way too skinny.
I don’t think Tate is meant to be attractive, really. Unless busty redhead meets your definition of attractive.

Catherine Tate, or rather Donna, wasn’t supposed to be attractive in the Rose Tyler/Freema Agyeman sense. She’s more a complement to the Doctor, in that Dr Liz Shaw way - something different than who has gone before.
I suppose it’s still possible that Sally Sparrow may return as a companion, as she’s a Steven Moffat creation.
It’s a darker show, which affects things. But still, as a straight male, I have to say that Barrowman looked better in Who because of his haircut. If you’re supposed to be a cool macho guy, you go with the Whovian Captain Jack Buzzcut, not the Torchwood Captain Jack Flopsie cut.

I’m not Brit but I have horrible teeth. Un-whitenable yellow (1) and irregular. But when Mom took me to the dentist, he tested my bite, asked whether I planned on becoming a model or an actress and when I said no, said he couldn’t recommend braces: “she’s got the best bite I’ve ever seen, her teeth are ugly but superbly matched, so if we prettify them they’re likely to end up worse than now from a functional point of view.”
So Myself and Littlebro (similar situation) never got braces. Middlebro, who had respiratory and digestive problems due to a sunk palate, did get them and is the only one with decently-aligned teeth, although not to Hollywood standards.
1: because of a kind of antibiotic, tetracyclines (sp?), which was very popular when I was a baby before doctors realized it made kids’ teeth yellow and it might negatively affect general bone health. My teeth are darker on the inside than the outside, so whitening methods would make things worse, as they’re basically a matter of scraping off the yellowed surface.

I’m an American and I have awful teeth, also due to tetracycline and childhood fevers ruining the enamel on my teeth and having a too small mouth and crowded teeth. My parents couldn’t afford braces and I have never been able to afford them as an adult. I am certain you are much younger than me so I’m surprised you also suffered the effects of tetracycline since I seem to remember they stopped using it in kids in the seventies, after it already did its damage to my teeth in the sixties.
Anyway, regarding the OP, I haven’t watched the David Tennant episodes yet and I am a straight female but I think Billie Piper is pretty cute. I think that, in spite of her protruding teeth, it’s her smile that really lights up her face that makes her attractive.
Her smile is TOO BIG. But it might be her clownish, chav makeup that over accentuates it. She was mildly cute on that Jane Austen I saw part of and her shy smile is rather fetching.
Sorry, I have to disagree.
I give you Reinette (Sophia Myles) (pic here), Sally Sparrow (Carey Mulligan) (pics here), or Jenny (Georgia Moffett) (pic here)
I don’t really like Billy Piper, Freema Agyeman is a looker, Catherine Tate does scrub up but dresses down as Donna.
Si
I could never even comprehen someone not thinking that Billie Piper is attractive. I have long since lost my blonde fixation, but she is hawt anyway. On the otherhand, Catherine Tate was my favorite companion because she wasn’t the drooly bizaar girllfreind/companion thing that bugs me a bit like the boss subordinate thing does.
I really would like a female Doctor. I’d also like a non-white Doctor. I suppose Will Smith is out of the question, but what about Arthur Dent from the HHGTG movie. Heck, anything not white. The Male hero always rescuing the female companion from the silly trouble they get themselves into needs to stop.
Plain? You should sue the guy you bought your eyes from.

Obligatory link to picture of Nicola Bryant, a.k.a. Peri Braun, the hot-babe, mid-80s companion to the sixth Doctor.
Eh? This really hasn’t been a problem in the new series. In fact I can think of several occasions in which the *companion *saves the Doctor (and by doing so, the whole world.)
Oh, and
Oh yes!
That eye! <sigh>
These days, she’d no doubt be considered flat chested, fat legged and big hipped. Mind you, I am the same age as her and we share the same body type. I’ve never had any complaints 
Are you maybe referring to Mos Def who played Ford Prefect? Because Arthur was quite white.
That one is so heavily 'Shopped (they appear to have relocated her head, for instance) that it shouldn’t count.
Look, guys, ANYBODY can look better in a posed, costumed, and airbrushed photo. On the show, where you can see her unposed and in the round, I didn’t find her particularly attractive. [cheap shot] Maybe you Brits see her otherwise because you aren’t exposed to better the way we Yanks are. [/cheap shot]
Catherine Tate’s face is assembled of planes with the proportions and angles of a male Hamadryas baboon. Plus she has a prominent wart. I had one once, but a couple months of gently burning it off with salicylic acid left no scar. I’d think an actor would get rid of those things, but since John Barrowman has one, too, and Camille Coduri has a couple, I suppose Russell T Davies enjoys the company.
She’d win best of breed at Crufts.
You’ve done that a few times in this thread. Nice to know you know it’s a cheap shot, I s’pose.
