I just want a mate.
You just want
to mate?!
I just want
a mate.
The women
of The Who universe
are all strong,
opinionated,
and independent.
They're all different
kinds of people.
Sometimes they're
good guys,
sometimes
they're bad guys,
sometimes they're
companions.
They've been a friend,
they've been an admirer --
You'd better come running, you got it?
Got it.
They've been a lover --
Shut up.
They're well-rounded and
they're loving and loyal.
There's always
something
unique and special
about each one of them.
They tend to be
proper characters.
Pretty adventurous,
pretty bold, pretty brave.
They're never drips.
That was
two years ago!
Every woman who encounters
the Doctor is
in love with him
in a different way.
It's like there are
as many
different types of love
as there are
women who encounter
the Doctor.
That is the one thing
that the Doctor
never has control over, right?
The ladies in his life.
I'll soon fix that.
Dr. Who 7xSpecial
Back in the day,
the "Doctor Who"
female person who was with him
was called an "assistant."
These days, they're
called a "companion."
I think they are different,
I think they're much more
involved in the action.
All the companions get a sniff
of what the Doctor's up to
and they're like "I'm in.
Take me. Let's do this."
I think you've got to
have some real gumption
to be a companion
of the Doctor.
When the Doctor
was reinvented and rebranded
for a new generation,
it was "Well, who's
going to be the companion?"
kind of the perfect
casting choice.
She was gorgeous, smart,
funny, feisty.
She's, like,
a working-class shopgirl.
She has a very
average life
and then
she meets the Doctor
and he sees
something in her.
Rose is smarter than
Wiser than, like, the
neighborhood she comes from.
I thought it was
a warning.
Maybe it's
the opposite.
Maybe
it's a message!
The same words
written down now,
and 200,000 years
in the future.
It's a link between me
and the Doctor --
"Bad Wolf" here,
"Bad Wolf" there.
Yeah, but if it's a message,
what's it saying?
It's telling me
I can get back!
kind of this ditzy shopgirl,
you know, blonde,
you know,
was hot in high school,
then really didn't go on
to do anything much,
after that
and then turns out to be
one of the most badassed
"Who" girls of all time.
I'm not into blondes,
either.
She's a wonderfully
refreshing heroine
that sets the standard for
heroines in other Sci-Fi series.
I think what she said
and what she did
almost came second
to the fact that
she was incredibly hot.
I dunno,
find a planet,
get a job,
live a life --
same as the rest of
the Universe.
Pfft, I'd have to
settle down.
Get a house or something,
She was
an extraordinary,
open, receptive
character.
I think she was in love
with the Doctor
long before
she ever realized
she had that
affection for him.
No.
Oh, yes.
I'm dying,
that's it.
I am dying.
It is all over.
What about me? I'd
have to get one, too.
I don't know,
it could...
Could be the same one,
we could both --
I dunno...
share. Or not,
you know, whatever.
I dunno, we'll sort something out.
Anyway.
We'll see.
It was about the Doctor
and Rose.
It wasn't ""Doctor Who,"
it was "the Doctor & Rose,"
like "Lois & Clark."
As a fan of the old show,
I didn't like the idea
of him having
a romance because
he doesn't see us
in that way.
He's a different
species.
when he started
falling for Rose.
I think in spite
of himself, too.
I don't think
he wanted to.
Am I ever going to
see you again?
You can't.
What are you
going to do?
Oh, I've got
the TARDIS.
Because I've watched
"Doctor Who"
for almost 50 years,
I'm not used to
this raw,
human emotion
that's coming out
in the modern versions
of the drama.
I love you.
Quite right, too.
And I suppose...
If it's my last chance
to say it...
Rose Tyler...
Come on!
Dog the Bounty Hunter
would've sobbed.
He was going to say it.
He was going to say it!
And then he lost
the connection.
Like, that's the worst
kind of dropped call, ever.
Poor Rose. I mean,
he couldn't say it.
If he said it,
it would've been too much.
I think that's the perfect
way to end that episode.
going to say "I love you"
or was he going to say
something clever?
He might've said
"Rose Tyler...I love you."
He might've
said, "Rose Tyler...
"you are essentially
an ant to me
"and I can't --
there's nothing that's
going to happen here."
He didn't say it.
He had plenty of time
to say it, if you remember,
but he didn't quite
say it.
The next companion, after
Rose, was Martha Jones
and Martha Jones
was confident and badass
and was studying
to be a doctor.
She fancied the Doctor
and was always trying
to turn him into some
kind of boyfriend.
All on your own?
Well! Sometimes
I have...guests.
I mean, some friends,
traveling alongside.
I had --
it was recently --
a friend of mine.
Rose,
her name was, Rose.
And...
we were together.
Anyway.
Where is she now?
With her family.
Happy. She's fine.
She's -- not that
you're replacing her.
It's pretty clear,
like "I've just come
"out of a relationship
and I'm really
not ready
That's not what
he says, but that's
kind of what he's saying,
which is smart.
I think, as fans,
we would've been bummed
if it would've been
that easy to be like
"Oh! Oh, who's the
lady du jour today?"
And if you will wear
a tight suit.
Now...don't.
And then travel
all the way
across the universe just
to ask me on a date.
Stop it.
For the record,
I'm not remotely
interested.
I only go for humans.
Good.
Martha is
the rebound companion
and I feel bad
for Martha.
"The rebound
companion," I love that.
Martha never really
had a chance.
He was still
all Rosed up.
Am I ever going to
see you again?
Martha was cool.
Martha knew what she
was getting into.
At first,
she's just kind of
a big admirer of his
but, as time goes on
and as she lives
the tough life
of the TARDIS,
she gets stronger
and she gets
more powerful
and she gets more
and more of a badass.
I love the moment
when Martha Jones
just turns to the Doctor
and said,
"I'm not staying.
I'm not going to waste my time,
waiting for a man."
So good on her!
Girl power!
The thing is, it's like
my friend Vicky,
student housing,
there were five of them,
all packed in,
and this bloke
and she loved him.
She did, she completely
adored him,
spent all day long
talking about him.
Is this
going anywhere?
Yes!
Because he never looked
at her twice.
I mean,
he liked her,
but that was it.
And she wasted years
pining after him,
years of her life,
