[highlight]49. Rose Tyler[/highlight]
PLAYED BY: Billie Piper
ONSCREEN: 2005 - 06, 2008, 2010
RATING: 67.76%
Very surprising result, I think.
When Doctor Who returned to our screens in 2005, Billie Piper's Rose was fundamental to its success. The first regular companion to be openly in love with the Doctor, Rose was much more than that. Fun, warm and, perhaps most importantly, normal, Rose won over the hearts of the nation and was particularly important in that she introduced a more appealing side to Doctor Who for many young girls; something which had perhaps been previously lacking. Rose witnessed the Doctor regenerate and was eventually trapped in a parallel world, which she returned from briefly to help the Doctor and the other 'Children of Time' save the Universe from Davros and the Daleks.
REMEMBERED FOR: Being in love with the Doctor. Her smile. Her mother. The Bad Wolf Bay scene.
What do you think? Should Rose be much higher than this, or this position right for her? Let me know!

I would have to agree with you there!
Me too - I think gwalker is a bit of a tease! At this rate it'll be Christmas before we find out who number 1 is!
Glad you're enjoying it!
Could the OP give us a few more details about his survey, so we can make a bit more sense of it
1) How many people voted in it?
2) How did you come up with the 67.76% rating for Rose, what does it actually mean? How could 67.76% of people vote for Rose and 67.75% of people vote for Tegan?
On the plus side, your site is very well designed and a treat to view
This
It says at the top of the "number 48" post
Rose epitomised contemporary youth - (not too) streetwise, opinionated, savvy and sexy. It was this character that placed the doctor and his weighty history into the relevant sci fi drama of the day.
Rose Tyler less great than Sgt Benton or the doctor that battled a monster made of liquorice allsorts?
I agree with you completely
