Welcome to the challenge of August, which is going to be all about Time; mostly fiction dealing with Time Travel, but also other topics to do with Time, and the manipulation thereof.

Who Week continues, and having talked Doctors and villains we move on to the supporting cast at large and ask who’s your favorite and least favorite companions? Favorite supporting characters in general?

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am a complete Who neophyte, so if I fuck up or skip over obvious discussion prompts, feel free to address this in the comments!

Bonus Prompt: Any companions who were underutlized or otherwise shortchanged?

Extra Bonus Prompt: Any specific one-off characters or portrayals of historical people who made an impression?

Paradox Bonus Prompt: Biggest disparity in Doctor/Companion quality? Any companions who outshone the Doctor?
