Clara kind of bores me, but Martha was awesome.Agreed I understand MEs role in the end but Jesus I hates her character and for the love of God why can't Clara stay dead. She's been my least favorite companion up there with Martha.
I want more Missy
Also, the old Doctors frequently had companions from other times or places. Men, people from the past, people from the future, aliens, robot dogs... why does every damn one in the new run have to be a 20-something woman from 21st century England? It's time for an alien companion already.
Oh, I'm not there yet. Still working through s9.Nardole certainly doesn't fit that mold... I was actually a bit nervous he was going to wind up irritating, but he so far seems to add just the right amount of levity - when the time is right. His reaction to the "It's bigger on the inside" moment was absolutely perfect, for instance.

Yeah, okay, but I really meant people who were *primary* companions. Like Rory hung around but he was just Amy's +1. And River and Jack were kind of... I don't know, periodic recurring characters, but not capital C Companions.Captain Jack? Donna Noble? (the age was a bit off for her, but everything else you still hit pretty much on the nose) Rory Williams? Hell, River Song is considered a companion of sorts by many...
Seems there've been at least as many companions who didn't fit your description as there've been companions who have (though, with the exception of Captain Jack, Nardole, and River Song, they're all early 21st century folks from England, that's true).

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The Doctors in the old series used to do that all the time. Leela, Jamie, Adric, Nyssa... but the reboot series have done that much less.What about Leela? (Fourth Doctor) I don't remember; was she even human?
