Trust me, doubleo, by midway through Series 3, you'll wish Rose Tyler had died during "Doomsday"; by the end of Series 4, you'll be wishing she'd died at the end of "The Parting of the Ways" rather than Nine...

That's interesting. I'm not sure what this means at all, which makes it even MORE interesting.

He probably means the companions get better as the series progresses, i.e. Rose Tyler < Martha Jones < Donna Noble. You'll probably form the same opinion once you get past "The Runaway Bride" and into Series 3 and 4, and yes, Donna does improve considerably between "The Runaway Bride" and "Partners in Crime" (tough chick instead of shrieking harpy). You see glimpses of it in "Bride," though; pay attention to the start of the wedding reception scene...

Oh, and did I mention Series 5 and Amy & Rory? Amy is teh hawtness, and Rory is Time's New Roman. You'll see what I mean once you reach "The Pandorica Opens." :-)
