10 Most Hated Doctor Who Characters

Poor Adric.

Turlough, Peri AND the Sixth Doctor? Damn, someone isn’t a fan of actual character development or arcs.

[docbrown]

Nicola Bryant (Peri) was not a companion people hated.

[timidwolf]

This seems to be a weird mix of hated by fans and hated by people in production! Peri for a start wasn't hated anywhere near as much as you implied in this video and Adam was too brief and forgettable to form any kind of opinion of him at all, there are hundreds of characters from single stories that had more screen time than him.

Couldn't we have just kept the Victorian Clara? We haven't had a companion like that since the classic era

[fje]

Peri, really? I had plenty of feelings about Peri, but hate definitely wasn't one of them.

[Zadck]

Clara is great, people forget that ALL the companions have been absolutely OP and super-smart or competent in their own ways. Martha literally saved the world solo and somehow survived everything and then joins Unit and Torchwood and goes on to fight aliens on the regular with Mickey, who became a cyberman destorying, freedom fighting superhero in a parallel world practically on a whim. Rose becomes omnipotent to a point that she influenced nearly every prior episode. Rory has the willpower of a Marvel superhero. The only new who companion before Clara that isn't somehow superhuman or incredibly gifted is Donna, and even then, Donna is absurdly competent and has a huge list of feats.

According to Nicola Bryant in an interview, they actually auditioned American actors for the role of Peri and she pretended to be American. But other than the accent who the heck actually hates Peri?

While knowing why people don’t like Clara Oswald, Grace Holloway, Peri Brown, Danny Pink, Mel Bush or the Sixth Doctor I actually like all of these characters.

[thatmaster]

I don’t get why people hate clara I personally love her she in my opinion is amazing

[thechillindude]

Sure it's mainly down to the writing, but I'd say that the 13th doctor is probably hated more than the 6th right now.
Really most of the characters from season 11 and 12 are awful

[Brogan_Balfour_Crescent]

Never understood the hate for Clara (my favourite companion along with Ace) her arc was clear and well done for the most part and her acting out after Danny's death made sense as she'd already started to act more and more like the doctor with that the loss if her boyfriend pushing her further.

[ProfArmitage]

I remember reading somewhere that when the child who designed the Abzorbaloff saw it for the first time, their reaction was "It was supposed to be the size of a bus." That probably would have been more threatening, and certainly would have caused changes to the story.

[scribewell]

In my experience, most of the people who badmouth the Sixth Doctor's Era have never seen it.

[Evelyn_onfire]

The hate Clara gets makes me so sad. She was one of my favorite companions! I think people hated her with 11, which is fair! But her with 12 was absolutely amazing!! Their relationship is so deep and complicated. I might also be one of the few people who actually liked Hellbent

[saradurajova]

I like Clara, she is one of my fav characters. She had a very interesting story, but sometimes she was really getting on my nerves

[tristanribeiro]

Poor poor poor Colin Baker. He could have been a great doctor, but unfortunatly, he played the doctor at the WORST Doctor Who period !

[RassilonProductions]

Turlough? the 6th doctor? Peri? someone hasn't taken into account the huge amount of big finish fans when it comes to the latter and I have never really met anyone who hates Turlough, he has a solid arc especially for classic who and he is pretty cool

[michaelburke]

I had to check the date on this. Really? No one from Jodie's run as the Doctor? I'd take Turlough back any day.

[hestushenchman]

As I understand it, the sixth doctor, who's regeneration was influenced by a toxic condition, was supposed to develop over a three year period. He never got that chance, and so judging him can be tricky and unfair.

[martinhavelock]

Can we drop this hatred for Colin Baker, he was one of the best, who just took on the role at the wrong time, and was treated badly.
