I take it I’m not alone in thinking Rose is a bit of a non-plus? She does seem really redundant this season except for the soap opera links.

Yep, most of ‘em have been useful….

I don’t recall him ever having a favorite to the extent of explicitly choosing one over another companion, though. But then, this new series is claiming that No Companion Has Ever Been Quite Like Rose.

I think, if you watch again, that there were some favourites. Susan Foreman obviously springs to mind, I think Jaimie McCrimmon qualifies as well, (due to longevity if nothing else) and I’ve always suspected that he preferred the company of Nyssa to Tegan.

Interesting recap. I thought the bits with Mickey complaining about the Doc basically not giving a damn about him over Rose were pretty sad. The Doctor never used to have favourites with his companions did he?
