Family Feud Nominations, Who is the Best Doctor Who Family

If I've missed a character out of one of the families let me know (within reason, I imagine all these families are massive in the EU, so prioritise tv or significant characters)

Currently, the only rule is no families may inculde anyone who is even ambiguously The Doctor, it'll get super complicated super fast imo

Any characters, eg River, who can link up multiple different families to create a single massive family unit will be treated on a case by case basis. If it is possible to pick one of the smaller family units that they are a part of to include them in while not including them in any of the others (in a way everyone will agree at least makes sense) they will be included in that family only, otherwise they will not be included

Please bare in mind when you are nominating that I am hoping to keep the number of nominations under 64 to run this as a mini-tournament. This is not a hard rule so if nominations do exceed 64 its not a big deal, just something I'd like everyone to bare in mind

[companion-showdown]

The House of Pollard: Lady Louisa, Lord Richard, Margaret, Cecelia, and Charlie

Possible inclusions: Edward Grove, The Sound Creature

isn't Charley, you know, human, wouldn't they just be the Pollards, I think the "House of ___" thing only applies to Time Lords, but yes, I will add them

[companion-showdown]

May I nominate Swarm and Azure?

yep

[companion-showdown]

Can I say Faction Paradox? As their whole deal is weird Culty Family? And that new members are adopted in to the House? If so Faction Paradox if Faction Paradox don’t quite pass then the House of Paradox back when it was still a legitimate family back in Gallifrey.

yeah, sure, why not, I don't know enough to say otherwise

[companion-showdown]

For Lungbarrow can I also add these cousins (who are all of Lungbarrow)

https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Category:Cousins_of_the_Doctor

also Brax who may or may not be of Lungbarrow. And if Brax then Maggie Matsumoto

Ulysses and his Wife Penelope Gate are also of Lunggbarrow and so is the physical House of Lungbarrow. And if they get through then Anna Joyce (Ulysses’s current wife as if the EDA’s and her unnamed daughter)

And to Expand Dvora may I also add Romanadvoratrelundar and the rest of these guys https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Category:House_Dvora_members.

The Imperator is Morbius.

cool

[companion-showdown]

[companion-showdown]

Could i suggest the House of Witforge? Narvin, Lenaris, Helico, Narvin's unnamed dead engineer dad and Rexin, (also just mentioned but he has a name) (he's Lenaris and Helico's dad and Narvin's uncle who was exiled to Low Town (aka the slums) for i think unknown reasons)

great

[companion-showdown]

Can I nominate leela, veega, and Rayo

[companion-showdown]

Could Kassia be added to the Nyssa and Tremas family? For the expanded universe we've got to get Lucie Miller and Auntie Pat (who btw unfortunately comes with a massive spoiler warning if you go searching for her) and the Schofields (Hex, Cassie and Hilda).

yep

[companion-showdown]

Oh also Benny and Susan's families!! For Benny, Isaac and Claire Summerfield (parents), Jason Kane (ex husband), Peter Summerfield (son), Wolsey (cat) and potentially Keith and Rebecca?? (children from a destroyed timeline). For Susan, David Campbell (husband) and Alex Campbell (son). (I think she had a grandfather or something too but fuck that guy.)

yep all good. I vaguely remember Susan having a grandfather too, pretty sure he was only in the show for like five minutes, wasn't he a Doctor or something?

[companion-showdown]

Shouldn't the Pond-Williams group also include Amy's aunt, mum, and dad?

yeah probably, adding to the list

[companion-showdown]
