Chicago - Computation Center Lines: 14 I only have two quibbles with James' companion evaluation. First, I'm a female, and Leela's one of my favorite companions because of the way she interacted with Tom Baker. Second, I don't think either of the Doctors were overly fond of Teegan, she seemed to be nothing but trouble. I use as evidence the episode in which she returns (I've forgotten the title of it) when she informs Nyssa and the Doctor that she has nowhere else to go so she would come back to them, Nyssa gets excited, but the Doctor rolls his eyes in apparent frustration. The only reason she was initially allowed to stay is that the doctor realized her aunt had been killed (by the master) and Tom Baker was the compassionate sort. But you may recall, that was the episode (Logopolis) where he goes into his "I NEVER choose my companions" tyrade. Joanna
