Honestly I think Doctor Who's ratings only dropped because fangirls don't find Peter Capaldi attractive.
I think ratings dropped because Capaldi was given garbage material to work with. His Doctor's arc was basically finding his place after three seasons of inconsistency.

I was looking forward to his seasons, and his debut episode was great. But god, that entire run had characterisation problems.

I dont know. Clara really grew on me. Id rate her a top ten companion. I just flat out hate Rose though.

-Rankings, Best to Worst-

1. Clara
2. Rory
3. Amy
4. Donna
5. Bill
6. Nordol(?)
7. Martha
8. Rose

Im not ranking the guest companions like Jack, Mickey, and River.
My ranking would be:

1: Donna
2: Rose
3: Series 7 Clara
4: Martha
5: Amy
6: Bill
7: Nardole
8: Rory
9: Series 8 and 9 Clara

The fam hasn't had a lot of meat as individual characters, but as a unit I rather like them. I think Yasmin has potential to be a great companion when she has something to do, Ryan works well as a grounding force as well as a pragmatic "picks up gun" companion, and Graham had more of a personal arc and generally gets the better comedic lines of the bunch.

For me, it'd be...
Rory > Donna > Clara > Martha > Graham > Rose > Amy > Yaz/Ryan > Bill > Nardole

Bill was alright, but felt like a "filler" companion, while Nardole felt like a comic relief sidekick more than anything -- I didn't even realize that he was supposed to be one of the companions of the season until like halfway through.

Jodie's fam just needs to actually do something, but the writers keep doing nothing with them. That said, Graham has always been a delight to have around.

But either way, I think we all know the true best companion is Wilfred Mott.

Yeah, he's an amazing actor and amazing Doctor (my personal favorite atm) by the end of his run, but most of his scripts were ass. Same goes for Jodie.

He was even a decent companion in the second Peter Cushing film.

Spyfall: Sorry Ada Lovelace and Noor Inayat Khan. Gotta wipe your memories so you don't know about time travel and aliens.

Tesla: Tesla and Edison know about aliens and time travel? Eh, whatever.

Lovelace and Khan saw knowledge that could change their futures. Tesla and Edison saw aliens...and that was about it. Tesla was already regarded as a bit of a nutcase, so if he started saying about the aliens he'd seen, it's unlikely that anyone would believe him.

Ehh, I still think it was an inconsistency that came from two different writers with two different visions of the show. I would have preferred parity between the two personalities, but it's understandable as to why this would be the case.

Part of what made Spyfall part 2 less good than part 1 is the unnecessary, miserable memory wipes. It's only made more jarring with the Nikola Tesla episode. It's understandable, but the inconsistency is palpable.

Rose in season 2 was not as bad as Clara in season 9.
