I second the vote for Leela as favorite.  The first time I saw her (it
was also one of the first times I saw Dr.Who) she was wearing her
"bikini" and all of my feminist instincts were entirely revolted (the
comments by the  guys watching with me didn't help!).  But Leela fast
became my favorite.  I especially like the way she grows during the
episodes.

My second favorite is Romana II.  I thought that she was the one the Dr.
always had a special soft spot for.  I liked their relationship.  (S.o.
mentioned the actress who played her was once Mrs. Tom Baker. Is this
true??)

My LEAST favorite was Romana I -- obnoxious, know-it-all, -- everything
Tom Baker plays with a charming lovableness and grace that makes one
forgive all. To me, this actress was entirely lacking, any sympathetic
qualities.

NOTE:  Tom Baker is the only Dr. I've ever seen.  I love the character
of the Dr., but I was thinking that in real life people with his
personality drive me crazy.  I can't stand being around them.  Has
anyone else ever thought about this?  Of course,  I have never met
someone with his superiority complex that actually IS right all of the
time and superior in the way TimeLords are to us earthlings.
