Doctor Who is just as much about the development of the Doctor’s companions as it is about his own. He is at his best when he has a strong companion who stands up to him, challenging him to do the right thing. Such individuals have been known to be controversial amongst the fanbase, but are nonetheless vitally important to the program.
To honor this, there are not one, but two fan made videos that each parody Who’s the Boss? by playing the song from its opening credits over a montage of clips from Doctor Who. The first is by SpiffyMarc and features the Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald. The second is by Doug Ellis and features the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble.

Who’s the Boss? was a standard American sitcom that ran from September 20, 1984 to April 25, 1992. I have to admit that it was one of my favorite programs as a child. The equivalent characters to the Doctor and his companion are Angela Robinson Bower played by Judith Light and Tony Micelli played by Tony Danza. It is quite ambiguous, however, as to who would be the Doctor and who would be the companion. I suppose that that is why it is appropriate for the show to be called Who’s the Boss?
