I really like Evelyn. She's a great foil for the Sixth Doctor because she is old enough and smart enough not to be impressed by him!
Wilfred was a fun companion, but I didn't like him breaking down and crying at the end. An old dog like him wouldn't cry. Lady Christina was very cool in her appearance. He doesn't count, but I also really liked the guy from "The Next Doctor," who would have made a fantastic actual Doctor, I think!
