From female companions to friends to enemies, there are plenty of hotties in BBC's sci-fi classic. Let's take a look at a few of them!
Over the course of hisadventures, the Doctor has met a lot of lovely ladies. Some have followed him on histravels, others have tried to kill him. These women come from all over the universeand are played by some of the finest looking actresses in the business. Hereat UGO, we appreciate their beauty, and today, we will do our best to mentionevery single hottie that has graced the sets of this unforgettable sci-fi iconof a show. These women are in no particular order, because, as it can often be,there is no clear-cut number one. Also, a general note, this list is humans (orhuman-ish aliens) only, so the Forest of Cheem and the Menoptera will not be making an appearance.
Have we forgotten to include your fav? It's unlikely, but if we have, let us know! And please don't say Donna Noble or Dodo. This is a serious list.
Let's start off with theDoctor's own granddaughter, Susan. For the uninitiated, yes, our beloved Doctor
did have a granddaughter. If youunravel the logical thread further, he must have had a child as well... and awife. Hm. And remember how he said that cradle in "A Good Man Goes to War" washis? Lies, perhaps? Although the purists tend to disregard the connection between the Doctor and Susan. What do you think? Talk about it in the comments. But none of it truly matters because she was one hell of ahottie, granddaughter or not!
Vicki first meets the Doctor when the TARDIS arrives on planet Dido. The Doctor discovers her as the only survivor of a deadly spaceship crash and an even deadlier attack by a monster called Koquillion. With his granddaughter choosing to leave behind her travels in the TARDIS, the Doctor asks Vicki to join him. Vicki's hotness was provided by the Irish actress Maureen O'Brien. And for those of you asking, she was around 22 at the time.
Tight jumpsuit-wearing Space Security agent, Sarah Kingdom, is not only hot but also a complete badass. She weilds laser guns like she's some kind of Lara Croft, and kicks ass all over the galaxy. The problem is, however, that she unquesioningly obeys orders from her superiors. When those orders turn out to be false and result in the death of her brother, Sarah learns the error of her ways and goes on to help the Doctor fight against the Daleks and their deadly invasion.
Why are secretaries so hot? I don't know, but Polly can give any of her secretary colleagues a run for their money. She first meets the Doctor when he and Dodo come to investigate the artificial intelligence known as WOTAN, created by Polly's employer, Professor Brett. She then helps the Doctor defeat WOTAN when the evil AI tries to, you guessed it, take over the world. With Dodo deciding to stay in 1966, Polly joins the doctor for a number of travels through time and space.
Daughter of the briliant scientist Edward Waterfield, Vidtoria quickly becomes embroiled in a plot involving her father and the Daleks. Naturally, the Doctor shows up to investigate. Through a long series of events, Edward sacrifices his own life to help stop the Dalek menace. He makes the Doctor swear to take care of his daughter, however, and our Doctor elects to take Victoria aboard along with his other companion, Jamie. This hottie from 1866 is far more than she appears to be, too. She is strong, smart and sensible -- all hidden by a facade of frailty.
Much like secretaries, librarians are also hot -- the younger ones, anyway. Zoe is one such librarian with one added detail: she's from the future. She works aboard the space station W3, also known as the Wheel. She aids the Doctor in stopping a Cyberman invasion and quickly joins him aboard the TARDIS for more adventure. Aside from being hot, Zoe is also a genius, solving complex mathematics with the speed and certainty of a high-tech computer. Now, her age is a bit of a mystery, but the actress playing her was at least 20 at the time, so calling her hot totally doesn't feel creepy.
Secretaries, librarians... who else, who else... ah yes, scientists! Scientists are hot! And that's just who Liz Shaw happens to be. She is an Oxford-trained scientist, hired by the Brigadier to be UNIT's scientific advisor. To add to her hotness, she holds degrees in several fields, including physics, astronomy and medicine... so I guess that also makes her a doctor -- and doctors are also hot. Her first encounter with our Doctor came in the form of helping him defeat the Autons and the force that controlled them.
Now, Jo is not a scientist or a librarian. She isn't even a secretary, but she is still hot. She becomes the Doctor's companion when Liz Shaw leaves UNIT. Her assignment, however, is purely due to the fact that her uncle is a high-ranking UNIT officer. She is young, naive and not very bright. This perplexes the Doctor, but he just hasn't got the heart to tell her and ask the Brigadier for a new companion. But as hapless as she may have been, Jo endured her fair share of adventures with the Doctor and proved to be quite the companion.
Nobody's sure why, but being evil appears to add to a person's hotness. Perhaps it's the mystery, perhaps it's the icy coldness that it takes to commit evil acts. In any case, the Rani has got the evil thing down pat. Some would argue that she isn't really evil, though. There is some truth to that. The renegage Timelady doesn't commit evil acts to take over the world! She commits them all in the name of science. Simply put, she has no grasp of the concept of good and evil, and does whatever it takes to get her experiments completed -- including enslaving an entire planet's population just to have enough test subjects and a quiet place to carry out her SCIENCE!
Ah, Miss Sarah Jane Smith, truly an icon among Whonerds. We first met her as a young journalist who managed to sneak into a high-security facility using her aunt's credentials. She soon meets the Doctor and helps him fight off a deadly Sontaran invasion. There is more than just physical beauty to Sarah Jane. She is smart, willful and is never afraid to stand up for what she believes in. The fans of the show absolutely adored her. So much so that the BBC has released a number of shows with her as the star. Sadly, the actress who portrayed her, Elizabeth Sladen, passed away on April 19, 2011, cutting
The Sarah Jane Adventures short. We miss you, Liz.
If you haven't guessed by her outfit, Leela is a tribal girl. She is a member of the Sevateem tribe, a savage group of individuals who turn out to be the decendants of space travelers whose ship crashed on a stange and foreign planet. In tact, the tribe's name is nothing but a badly garbled version of the phrase "Survey Team." Unlike many of the Doctor's other companions, Leela wasn't invited to join the TARDIS crew. She just sort of barged in and stuck around with the Doctor, who was more than content at the time to journey on his own.
Now here's another Timelady, but this one isn't evil. She is, however, a scientist, and a damn good one at that. In fact, she starts out regarding the Doctor as her inferior. With time, she does warm up to him however. She even begins to respect him once she makes the important realization that a person't worth isn't measured by how good they are at science. This Timelady went through two regenerations before leaving the show, and both of those regenerations were really, really hot. Unfortunately, if the Doctor is to be believed -- rule 1, the Doctor lies -- Romana is dead, and he is the only one of his race who still lives. Pity, we've lost another hottie.
Wow, so Doctor Who is surely not short on "______ are hot" stereotypes. This time, it's a stewardess -- or "Flight Attendant," as they claim they like to be called. If she ever met Darth Vader, however, he would say "You are not a flight attendant... yet." On her way to the first day of her job, Tegan's car gets a flat tire. Seeking help, she stumbles into what she believes to be a police box... we all know where she ends up. This accidental meeting with the Doctor turns into a position on the TARDIS crew, so in a way, Tegan really did get to become a flight attendant... on a spaceship! As far as personality goes, this Aussie is bold, blunt and completely unafraid to speak her mind. Oh, and she knows how to handle a firearm, too.
Peri Brown's adventure starts off with a bang. She meets the Doctor, the Master and the Master's shape-shifter robot, Chameleon, all in one day. Like the Doctor's other companions, she proves herself in a fight against the Master. The fifth Doctor is more than happy to bring her along, but there's a problem. He regenerates into a much surlier, meaner form. This Doctor doesn't care much for Peri. He constantly berates and belittles her, as he does most people. But Peri persists and the two eventually form a strong bond. Oh, and her full name is Perpugilliam Brown. Don't try to pronounce it.
Mel's story is an interesting one. She first appears shown as the Doctor's longtime companion. As it turns out, the Doctor is actually viewing an adventure that he will eventually have with Mel before meeting her in his own timeline... confused yet? Thought so. Interestingly enough, this companion is the only one
not to have her travels with the Doctor aired on television. After all, the travels they supposedly had didn't actually happen but are still to come. More confusion. One thing isn't confusing, however. Mel is smart and good-looking. She's a computer programmer, after all.
Ace is the classic example of an ugly childhood turning a potentially good girl into a bad one. She had a horrible relationship with her mother, she's been the target of racism, so naturally she turns herself into a "let's go out and commit arson" punk girl, which is hot. Of course such characters are practically begging to be redeemed. Through her adventures with the Doctor, she grows close to him, believeng that the Timelord needs her protection. As a result she defends him against all enemies and is completely loyal to him.
I'll be honest, Grace is a bit of a nutcase. She is warm, kind and compassionate, but she had a very burning revelation early in life. Ever since, she has been living in hopelessness, knowing that try as she might, she cannot hold back death. When she meets with the Doctor, she tries to operate on his gunshot wounds and ends up killing him, not knowing that he is an alien. And so the eighth Doctor makes it part of his mission to let Grace see the happier side of life.
This one's certainly a very underrated hottie. Why? Because she was the first companion to be featured in the Doctor Who reboot. Rose leads a fairly standard life, working at the local department store and living with her widowed mother. Everything changes when she stays late at the store one night and is besieged by living plastic display dummies. That's when she meets the Doctor. At first, our Timelord wants little to do with her, but he soon warms up to Rose -- how could he not? -- and asks her to travel with him aboard the TARDIS. Surprisingly, Rose rejects the idea at first, but it doesn't take her long to change her mind.
Our next hottie may look human, but she's not. In fact, she's actually a native of the planet Traken and daughter to the consul of the Traken Union. Nyssa meets the Doctor and immediately proves herself by helping him defeat the Master. But the Master would return to haunt her. Worse yet, he returns disguised as her father, who was killed during their previous encounter, and this makes Nyssa's hatred of him all that much more intense. Having been tricked by him before, Nyssa slowly learns the Master's tricks until she is able to see right through the Timelord's plans and illusions.
Ah, another doctor for ourDoctor. Martha Jones is a physician in training, who meets our Doctor in a hospital.Normal so far, right? Well, this hospital has been teleported to the Moon by arace of sentient rhinoceros looking for a creature that survives by consumingthe blood of others. This is Doctor Who, did you really expect normalcy?Didn't think so. But back to Martha. Besides being quite a looker, she's abrilliant doctor, smart and very kind. In fact, she is even kinder than theDoctor at times, befriending creatures that our Timelord had immediately pinnedas bad. What does she do after her travels in the TARDIS? She joins a secret paramilitaryorganization created for the purpose of defending against extraterrestrialthreats. Hot.
David Tennant was recently named the hottest man in the world. It is only fitting, then, that the Doctor he plays gets a "daughter" who is this strikingly hot. Jenny isn't technically a daughter but a fast-gen clone, created from the Doctor's cells. At first, the Doctor claims that she cannot be his daughter and is, in fact, nothing but a soulless clone. But how could you not warm up so a girl like that? So he does. What makes this even more interesting, of course, is that Tennant later started dating and married this girl, which totally isn't creepy because they're only related on the show. In real life, they're married and have a kid.
Astrid is an intergalacticwaitress. She meets the Doctor on the spaceship Titanic and helps him thwart adevious plan to destroy the ship as well as the people of Earth. Aside frombeing caring and loyal, she's also quite hot. And being played by THE KylieMinogue certainly helps that quite a bit. Initially, Astrid was devised as along-time companion, but by the time the episode was ready to film, she wasreduced to a one-time appearance. Pity, having Kylie Minogue in moreepisodes would be quite a treat.
Another character who is strong and fun. Lady Christina DeSouza is a wealthy noblewoman who is bored with her life. So she becomes a sexy thief, a-la Virginia Baker in Entrapment, tight leather clothes and all. She is smart, resourceful and can give Tom Cruise a run for his money when it comes to dangling off a wire and decending slowly to retrieve some object or another. Christina proves to be more than a match even for our Doctor when she takes the lead in an operation and starts doling out orders to the others. We leave her operating a flying double-decker bus with adventure just around the corner. Who knows, maybe she'll even pop back in a future episode. I sure hope so.
We first meet the adult Amy Pond dressed as a skanky kisogramm girl. Good start. She then goes on to win our hearts and minds with her bravery, her hotness and her awesome Scottish accent. Amy is much more than just eyecandy, however. Like many women on Doctor who, she is also very well-written. She's smart, strong and full of spirit, always ready for adventure. And that, writers take note, makes her even hotter. Because a hot damsel-in-distress gets very boring very quickly. There's no substance to girls like that. Amy, meanwhile has it all. Simply amazing!
Let's close this list off with one of the most beloved Doctor Who characters, River Song. She first met the Doctor in a gigantic library, besieged by living shadows. Back then, the Doctor knew nothing of her, but she knew everything about him. How is that possible? Well, they are both time travelers, and their timelies are intertwined backwards. Every time they meet, the Doctor knows her more and she knows the Doctor less. A beautiful love story with a really hot girl. On top of all that, River can shoot a gun like she'd been trained to do it from birth... which she has, and that makes her even hotter.
