Favourite companion? I do like Clara for dubious reasons unbecoming a man my age. Favourite Doctor? Tom Baker. It’s obvious, I know…
Rob Williams, talking about favorite Doctor Who companions and Doctors in another off-cut of the Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor interview we did for THR.
I’m with Williams on the love for Baker. He was my favorite Doctor, before Smith came along – he was my first Doctor, and that’s always a very important thing for any fan of the show. Smith won me over thanks to his performance.
(I also really like Clara, especially in the last two episodes. Her attitude towards everything: Excited, emotional, just very present. Once they were done with the “Impossible Girl” thing, I liked her more.)
