* The Ruth!Doctor was an instant hit in the fandom, with some even saying they prefer her to the Thirteenth Doctor, or wanted Ruth!Doctor to be actually the Fourteenth Doctor, [[TakeAThirdOption or having Jo Martin cast as the Fourteenth Doctor.]]

* The Ruth!Doctor was an instant hit in the fandom, with some even saying they prefer her to the Thirteenth Doctor, or wanted Ruth!Doctor to be actually the Fourteenth Doctor, [[TakeAThirdOption or having Jo Martin cast as the Fourteenth Doctor.]]]] This is especially notable since the Chibnall era and more specifically the Timeless Child storyline in which the Ruth!Doctor was introduced in was base breaking or outright hated among fans. Ruth however is well loved.

* [[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E7TheCelestialToymaker The Celestial Toymaker]]. His only appearance was in ''one'' story in the Classic Series, of which three of its episodes are now lost, but he's still one of the most iconic villains in the franchise.

His only appearance was in ''one'' story in the Classic Series, of which three of its episodes are now lost, but he's still one of the most iconic villains in the franchise. His return in "The Giggle" was met with acclaim, especially because he was now portrayed by Creator/NeilPatrickHarris.

* Kate Stewart, because not only is she the Brig's daughter, she's a Badass scientist and quite the snarker. She even had the honor of being the first character from the revival to show up in the Big Finish 'verse in her very own UNIT based spinoff like her dad before her. To cap it off, she's played by Creator/JemmaRedgrave, who -- perhaps unsurprisingly given that she is a Redgrave -- waltzes away with every scene she is in.

Like her dad before her, she has acted against most of the New Who Doctors: Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen and Fifteen.

Added DiffLines:

* Despite only making one televised appearance ("[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E1Battlefield Battlefield]]"), Brigadier Winifred Bambera is very popular among the fandom due to Creator/AngelaBruce's portrayal of a capable, tough, no-nonsense, authoratative black female high-ranking military officer at a time when such roles were extremely rare. So much so that she would ultimately be brought back by AudioPlay/{{Big Finish|DoctorWho}} decades later for some audio dramas.

Added DiffLines:

* Ashad, the Lone Cyberman who debuted in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E8TheHauntingOfVillaDiodati The Haunting Of Villa Diodati]] became a fan favorite villain not long after his introduction, due to his [[MixAndMatchMan unique design]] and subverting the Cybermen’s frequent defeat via ThePowerOfLove by being a Cybermen without an inhibitor who ''wanted'' to be upgraded. [[spoiler: Few were happy when The Master upstaged him in the Series 12 finale.]]

* The Rani, despite appearing in only two stories, (or three if you count "[[Recap/DoctorWho30thASDimensionsInTime Dimensions in Time]]"), is one of the most popular villains of the classic series, in no small part due to Kate O'Mara's performance. Fans are still waiting for her to appear in the modern series.

* Canton Everett Delaware III from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E1TheImpossibleAstronaut The Impossible Astronaut]]"/"[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E2DayOfTheMoon Day of the Moon]]", partly because it's very hard to forget an ex-FBI agent from 1969 who wants to marry a ''black man''. The fact he's a competent and intelligent American (See AcceptableTargets above) may help.

** Sally Sparrow gained a lot of fans after her appearance. More than once, it's been suggested that she be the next companion. Of course it doesn't hurt that Creator/CareyMulligan, the actress playing Sally, is extremely attractive. It helps that Mulligan has gained more popularity outside of ''Doctor Who'' as a rising Hollywood actress, with an Oscar nomination for her work in ''Film/AnEducation'' and much acclaim for her work in films like ''Film/{{Shame}}'', ''Film/{{Drive}}'', and ''Film/{{The Great Gatsby|2013}}''.
