Jamie deserves more votes. He was so cute running around in that kilt.
I understand why Dodo is not there, but she will always be one of my favs. I thought she was charming.

We're due some repeats of the old stuff, Beeb, if these didn't even make the list!

Although I don't know if I'd agree about the Consecutive episode arguments... I consider Jack and River (along with Benton and the Brigadeer) "legit" companions, although some of his travels were "stow-away" travels.
De Souza, Astrid, Lady Pomapdour, etc... NO, they do not count.
The Greatest Doctor Who Companions of All Time at 2/25/2012 10:31 AM
I would count Jack, River, and the Brigadier. Though I wouldn't could Benton just like I don't count Donna's grandfather, they are more of recurring status (a companion to a companion if you will).
And as far as people like Astrid and De Souza they aren't even recurring they just work with the doctor in one episode and if that is all that is required to be a companion then I could name countless people from the old series that would also make the list.
(as a side note: I really wish this list (like most things on the internet) was not completely biased towards the new series)
