Ah, the companions not taken.... Tom really wanted a talking cabbage as a companion supposedly. Maybe he just got tired of having to bend down to talk to K9... he could set the cabbage on the console. He'd have to take fifteen minutes to try and fail to explain the cabbage to the locals, if he took it out of the Tardis with him.
Other equally suitable potential companions:
Sutekh
The B.O.S.S.
Eldrad
Hobo from Claws of Axos
A Nimon
Drug addict captain from Nightmare of Eden
Rimmer, Red Dwarf
Some more suitable ones:
Toos, from Robots O'Death
D-84
Caleb, Face of Evil
The Other Scarman, Pyramids

I love the hobo! He got his own little sub-plot (before he died), and Happy Hobo Music!
Seriously, I fell into a fit of giggles when I first saw the hobo.
Having a friend over and large amounts of sugar probably played a part in this.

Can I cast a vote for the Nimon?

They should have taken Duggan! Imagine - him going round punching things and poking guns in people and getting patronised by Four and Romana!
I think they missed a trick there...

Duggan! Hey, wasn't the original plan to have him along as a companion? I heard something like that... meh. I would totally fangirl on the talking cabbage, though. LOL
When I first saw "Snakedance", I kept hoping Five would take Chela with him.

Chela would have made an exelant companion. =)
I like the hobo! XD Sad that he died.

I was listening to the Four to Doomsday commentary yesterday and Janet Fielding says that the Doctor's celery should have talked and been a companion. I think that's at least as good as a cabbage.

Quite! I can actually picture that. Oh, the fun we could have with Five talking to his lapel. And would it really be a celery then or just some sort of alien that looks like a celery?
What if one of the companions got turned into a talking vegetable? Would they ever turn back or become a soup?... There I'm getting ahead of myself.
I think Seven's umbrella would have made an amusing companion.

I'm totally picturing Muppet Companions here... a talking umbrella? A little muppet celery stalk with googly eyes that goes "oooooh!". Help!

Now that would be an interesting companion - the Doctor and his Decaying Muppet of Doom. Oh please... Kamelion was bad enough, no muppet/robot/CGI companions please.
Doctor: Come along....don't dawdle...
Companion: Dawdle? I, SUPER-GROVER never, ever dawdle!

"Moisturize me!!!" That's my skin at the moment. Just screaming for me to moisturize it. I tried some cream but I think I am going to react to it. *sigh* |

I am regretful that we cannot think of more things to say about The Talking Cabbage. I do realize that it's difficult to make small talk about an insane Dr Who companion who never existed, except in Tom's admittedly lively imagination. Nonetheless I am still bitter about the lack of stimulating cabbage conversation. It's going to take me several years to get over this.
