overated characters
What characters could be villians as well are overated.
I think the silence are overated and I don't enjoy their stories. River Song was overated and I think her only good episode was her first one. |

Jack - his flirting and showing off ruined every episode he appeared in IMO.

Martha- her plot was terrible and the acting was one of the worst I've seen on Who

The Tenth Doctor. He's my least favourite of the three Doctor's and I think he's incredibly dull, and later just hammy.
I would also say Canton Delware. A fantastic actor who did a great job, but the character was never really fleshed out at all and his involvement in the plot seemed totally beyond credibility once the series arc was resolved. |

I didn't like Matt Smith that much found him very irritating at times.

![]() I think Winston Churchill was overrated. Good maybe the first time then became wearisome. |

So this thread is actually 'which characters don't you like?'
For me I never understood the fuss about Sarah-Jane Smith. I put her popularity down mostly to fortuitous timing and longevity. |

Ace. I saw the writing on the wall there when I found out a 'time storm' or something had zapped her across space after she blew up her bedroom with a chemistry experiment. Like that kind of thing happens every day.

She was warm hearted and friendly. She also had a great sense of humour. At the same time though, she wasn't just a screamer and stood up for herself when it was called for. Maybe that's where the appeal lies. As for my own opinion, can't think of too many characters that are overrated but River Song I would agree with because her storyline is a mess and her constant reappearances are bordering on being tedious.

But my top choice would be The Master. You know what, maybe I was unfair to Barrowman, John Simm as the Master really was hammy and OTT. I also never liked how we seemed to be expected to feel sorry for him no matter how much bad stuff he did.I've never seen The Master in the classic series, but I didn't like the Eric Roberts version either. The Cybermen. They're rubbish most of the time. |

Rose - Not sure why, guess it was probably because she was grumpy and moody most of the time

Sarah Jane - way overated as a character and as an actress. Don't get me wrong, Liz was apparantly a very nice person, but I just found SJS so annoying. At times she spoke like William Shatner, all strange, pauses, between, words.

I'm assuming as she is many peoples first companion it's why she is heavily regarded but she wasn't as great as people make her out to be. |

I love the way you rebel against majority opinions!
)I'm not sure I can think of anything that is considered well-liked in Doctor Who that I didn't also like. I'm generally pretty easily pleased at the end of the day

To be fair, it's the point of the thread. If the majority didn't like them then they wouldn't qualify as overrated!

It means you have your own mind and are not swayed by popular opinion.

![]() ![]() Of course that just means I get more pleasure from more things so, all in all, I'd rather be in that minority than the other

Very true. I tend to find myself in the minority for liking things rather than disliking things, though

Well all stories and characters have fans. I'm sure even Adric and Mel have their own fan club somewhere, albeit a very small one......

Over-rated...hmmm...
Only two in my opinion. One was Ace. Don't get me wrong - Sophie Aldred is a lovely girl -but the character of Ace was a bit crap! I hated her to be honest! ![]() And the other - River Song! AAAAGH!!! She was brilliant in that first story in the Library. She was ok in the second revelation....but it got sooooooo tedious after that! WHY keep bringing her back again and again?? It was almost as boring as seeing Rory die every other episode! (This is when I stopped watching DW by the way!). I'll look forward to the next series anyway. |

While some of them were cheated as having occurred off screen, the audience would have felt cheated if the whole relationship had occurred off screen. We needed to have the evidence of all these multiple meetings and of the relationship that developed sufficiently for the Doctor to have confided his closest guarded secret to her. |
