My favorite Doctor/companion duo would be Four and Adric. They have this father-and-son-esque relationship that I just find simply adorable. Never has there been a cuter Doctor/companion moment than Four standing over Adric at the TARDIS console, teaching him how to fly the thing. <3A shame they only had a handful of episodes together before the Doctor regenerated and started treating Adric like shit.

I'm not enough of a legitimate Doctor Who fan to say I've watched anything before Nine. Perhaps someday I'll actually get around to watching every season. I've heard it's a little harder to get into. Is that true? 

From what I've read, it seems like the majority of the companions before Nine were not twenty-something common-day British women. For once I would love for the Doctor to have a (permanent) companion that is anything but that.
