David Tennant was really good too.
Credit to Karen Gillan and Billie Piper for being great with their respective Doctors.
Don’t forget Alex Kingston, who played River Song.
You could tell that the series was about to go full-woke when they brought in the black lesbian Companion .
All along the series, there would be unfulfilled romantic tension between the Doctors and the Companions. That broke down with the lesbian.
Good companions can make or break a Doctor. Both of those were great in the role.
