The Doctor Who effect: With literally nothing but the announcement that she'd be the next companion, Mackie was #33 in 2016. In the midst of the season, she rises 25 spots.

The biggest, most obvious question in modern television returns as we begin another chapter toward the answer of: Whose line is it anyway?
