"My last incarnation… oh, I was never happy with that one. It had a sort of feckless "charm" which simply wasn't me!"

Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 173
Running Time: 1:32:35

To make up for having to miss out on going to meet the man himself at Chicago TARDIS, I settled instead for the pleasure of listening to the recent Big Finish 8^th Doctor audio – “The Company of Friends”. And a real delight it was too (more details on that below!). While listening to it, I marveled at the breadth of “friends” (or companions) that the 8^th Doctor has accumulated, across a wide range of mediums. In fact, all told, it is possible that the 8^th Doctor may have had more companions (15, by my rough count) than any other incarnation! This is all the more astonishing given the brevity of his television appearances – about 50-55 minutes of a 90-minute TV movie.
