   For me, Doctor Who worked better when the companions were   
   simply there to be the companion and have everything explained   
   to them. The minute they became the special ones, with families   
   we were supposed to care about, the show lost its focus on   
   what it was supposed to be about.

   RTD didn't turn the Doctor into a woman, that was Chris   
   Chibnall... although I'm sure if he'd been around at the   
   time he would have done! Once Steven Moffat laid laid the   
   groundwork it was only a matter of time...
