Yes it is. There was even an episode where he changed his stalk of celery.
Reason being that the fifth doctor (fourth regeneration) was sensitive to certain gasses or chemicals in the air, and the celery would react to them so he'd know when he might be susceptable.
Sixth Doc bears an astonishing resemblance to Dominic Mognahan-as-Merry-in-LOTR
Only taller and of a more solid build. Maybe. Not really seeing it though.
And if you need to run anything past, please let me know - though I do also lurk at dwcanon_fodder. :)
And my favourite companion was Romana, who was at least the Doctor's equal in that she was also a Time Lord.
