We were asked "Forget which characters you like the most, just focus on the acting.", and my immediate thought as far as Freema was concerned was her part in the programme Law and Order.

I didn't really count River as a companion, but if I did she would have been number 1 by far!
This isn't a hate thread though. As I said in my OP I do think Freema and Karen were decent, but nothing special. I have never thought "wow, that was amazing".
1) Alex
2) Karren
3) Billie
4) Catharine
5) Freema
I feel ashamed that Freema could get a role on the show especially after her completely wooden acting in the doomsday ( Note: I mean when she wasn't being controlled by the cybermen because obviously she was meant to be very wooden then!)
Catharine was also very big not very subtle at all unlike Billie and Karen who are almost too subtle but Alex gets it spot on!

3. Alex Kingston
4. Billie Piper
5. Karen Gillan
6. Freema Agyeman
Freema is at the bottom for me because, as has been mentioned, her acting did come across as quite wooden at times. Whether this was because of her acting ability or poor writing I can't say.
Karen so far doesn't score very highly for me either. I can't quite put my finger on it but there are times when how she portrays her character doesn't seem to fit in with the situation.
1. Billie (1st series) & Catherine (rubbish comedian, acomplished actress)
3. Karen (less wooden than Freema, but not much more of a range except occasionally when she really turns it on)
4. Freema
I don't want to rank them but just say I love the parts played by both Catherine Tate and Karen Gillan, however I also feel they've had the better material to work with.
Karen is really growing on me this series and she could move above Billie. I think it's hard to judge until her role of Amy is over as it is with the others.
Catherine Tate (Excellent companion for an excellent Doctor! )
Karen Gillan (Same as above! Getting better as of late. )
Freema Agyeman (Not that good. But had some redeeming moments. Some.)
Billie Piper (Used to like her, but now I find her devastatingly irritating. :mad: )
They were all good. I guess. And played completely different characters, so I don't know who is the best really.
But I have to say, I think Catherin and Karen are the best so far imo. At first I found the character of Amy to be rather annoying. but I quite like her now.
And I'm really liking this new series a lot better than the last one.

The rubbish comedian accomplished actress is a damn strange claim. The characters she played required accomplished acting to pull them off. Derek, nan, the Northern Irish woman, the Essex couple were all extremely well acted characters.
