I'm not so sure, but we clearly differ on this one and to some extent are looking for different things from the show. for me, Doctor Who is about the Doctor and every second where he's not on screen that isn't plot exposition is wasted.
I've never really liked Doctor + N companions as much as Doctor + 1 companion -- then again "my" era was really Pertwee/T Baker. Multiple companions worked OK with the earlier doctors who were more father figures to the companions; now, it just feels crowded.
The low point for me was Nyssa/Tegan/Adric. I didn't like any of them individually and I liked them less together.
Now I'll admit that the Tyler saga has been done with a certain degree of wit, and Camille Coduri's performance as Jackie improved through the two series, but it's time for the Doctor to go and do Doctor stuff again. All over the Universe with no more than a tasty bit of totty by his side. ;)
