Haven’t tried that yet but have been thinking about it! So it’s good?

Totally agree.

Yeah you're right. I suspect this intensified with the reboot, when they seemingly started trying harder to make the show more palatable to people who don't normally much like science fiction. (See also: the Doctor as love interest...)

Aside from Leela, the only examples I could think of were Adric, K9, and Captain Jack. Though I just looked it up and there were others, including the very first (who was the Doctor's granddaughter, from Gallifrey). Also Romana, who I'd forgotten about. And River Song who I try to forget lol.

I've always wondered why aren't more more companions who aren't just schmucks from Earth. Strains credulity that the Doctor wouldn't meet interesting beings elsewhere in his travels.

(Then again, so much of the show strains credulity that perhaps it's best not to think too hard about it, lol!)

Let's Get it Up is a top three AC/DC track for me. 👍

I know right? Only the character limit kept me from continuing the list.
