So yeah just wanted to ask since we have a long way to go for more, Who?
Picture it, one winter night your caught up in a heap of alien trouble, slitheen, zygon, autons, you name it. You meet The Doctor he asks you to travel the universe in a blue box to see distant horizons and galaxies, you see all that ever was, is, and ever could be. You meet interesting people that might even tag along, the best of friends, along the way and have a laugh. Although where ever you go you always face death and could be killed while travelling with a complete stranger and you soon discover that not all of space is all teleports and zero gravity there are real dangers.
So in the words of Nine, Trip of a lifetime, would you take it or pass?

Of course there would be danger, but to experience such a life, such danger would be worth it and all part of the adventure. You can have an accident or worse just stepping out of your front door or even in your own home, so it would definitely seem worth such risks to travel with the doctor. Plus you would know that anytime you are in danger, he would always save you if he could (which is almost always for his companions)
Why anyone would think day to day mundane life was somehow better or somehow even comparable to a life of adventure through time and space (I'm looking at you series 7/8 Clara) completely baffles me.
Yeah but episodes like The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit and The Waters of Mars made me think dayumn its not always fun and games is it?
Of course not, but as I say totally worth the risk when you could have an accident in your own home living a boring life. Much better to have an accident living the life of your dreams.
Yeah lol I guess I'll just have to use my own brains when The Doctor isn't there
Well as we've seen you have to have some brains and an open mind for the doctor to even take an interest in you in the first place.
You would have to try and keep yourself safe of course, but if you got to the point where you absolutely had no way out of the situation, he'd save you if he could. Once the doctor has taken you on as companion you generally have a better chance of survival than anyone else in the given area you are in at any time.
"You had me at reverse the polarity"
Kinky ;-)
all of time and space for FREE! i could go on a million adventures at 7 am and be back after those million adventures 7:01 am. so why wouldn't i?
Full time.
No going home until the end.
All that running would help me lose weight.
You could be burnt to a cinder in space!
The way my luck runs, I probably would be.
Clara is "between heartbeats" she can't and doesn't need to eat ,sleep or any of the other things Ashildr does.
They are at opposite ends of the spectrum Clara is undead for her "long way round " road trip and Ashildr being functionally immortal gets to live forever.
How long before Clara gets bored and upset with her "condition" and wants to actually die so she can be free and re untied with her mum Ellie and Danny in heaven?.
Nobody seems to think of this but Clara's status of being "alive" is very much muddy as she isn't alive in the romantic sense.
