Companion Stats - Vicki Pallister

Names: Vicki Pallister

Actress: Maureen O'Brien

Doctor/s: First

Year/s: 1964 - 1965

Replacing Susan, The Doctor's granddaughter, Vicki is a great improvement, thanks to O'Brien's superior acting and the character's badass-ery (I'm never using that word again).

Episode Ranking

1. The Time Meddler (10/10)
2. The Romans (10/10)
3. The Rescue (9/10)
4. The Space Museum (9/10)
5. The Chase (8.5/10)
6. The Web Planet (2/10)

N/A. The Crusade (?/10)

N/A. Galaxy Four (?/10)

N.A. The Myth Makers (?/10)

Averaging these out means she has an average rating of...                          8.08/10

And she has a range of...                                                                                   8

This means Vicki stars in:

2 Perfect Episodes (10/10)

2 Amazing Episodes (9+/10)

1 Great Episode (8+/10)

1 Terrible Episode (2+/10)

Unfortunately this doesn't include the three stories that are missing: The Crusade, Galaxy Four and The Myth Makers.

In my opinion, Vicki is at her best in The Space Museum as she encourages revolution on the planet Xeros and has a romance with one of the natives. I reckon this would have been The Myth Makers if it survived.

Here's a graph (remember the red line in the average):
