Published: June 26, 2013, 5 p.m.

b'What would a 50th anniversary celebration year be without some talk of the companions? Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we take a break from our Classic Doctors countdown to chat about the companions who were "modern women" at the time they were on the show. Is Barbara the greatest? What\'s changed about contemporary companions over the years? And has such change been for the better? Are "modern" companions even necessary? Is Barbara really the greatest? We cover those questions and much more. So much more, in fact, that there\'s even a mention of "Doctor in Distress". (Editor\'s note: Click that link at your own risk.
