Who would you want to see as next companion/s for the next series
Weather a male or female or alien so on...
I would love to see a male female platonic friendship join him
or even just a male for a change would love if sarah janes adopted son was to join
or a regenerated jenny and see them look for gallifrey together

(Had to get that in there!)
Seriously though, I'd quite like a plucky, fun character with less baggage with relationships/importance to the timeline, even if they're a one-series wonder. A Donna style character.
I think the problem is, when it comes to coming up with a companion background, the fans have more imagination than the writers. I can understand it to a certain extent, because obviously it is easier to write for a modern day earth companion than anything else, but I do wish they'd take a chance a do something a little different for a change.
Mostly though, personality is key. We need another companion along the lines of Rose/donna in terms of likeability and being down to earth in their manner and hopefully to not see the likes of a Clara type companion or a hanger on as dull as Danny ever again.
If Moffat had done as planned and kept the Victorian Clara, that would've given the variety needed!
"The Master" and "her" in the same sentence - who'd have thought it, eh...
No reason why there shouldn't be 2 companions.
I want a modern day companion with some twist, I'd prefer a small group of people as opposed to one single companion. It'd give room for different personalities and morals which would be interesting when trying to find a resolution one of those ethically challenging predicaments that the Doctor often finds himself in.
The romance angle is inevitable (and was often present in the Classic series, too, and I don't see why people forget that_ so this culture clash could lead to a sweet Ben/Polly style relationship.
As for casting, I always thought that Zawe Ashton would be a good companion, but it's probably too close to her turn as Journey for that, but other people I could see as good fits would be Clare Thomas, Sarah Solemani, Holliday Grainger, Antonia Thomas or Antonia Bernath as the girl, and Christian Cooke (we're faraway enough from Ross, now), Daniel Kaluuya, Tom Hughes, Elyes Gabel or Jamie Davis as the lad.
I personally don't mind them to be honest but I feel they only work well in small doses, which they still are thankfully and hope they stay that way.
That said, I think he'd work better as part of a team with a new female human companion too.
That's his name! Forgot what it was, now I won't have to call him Cyborg anymore!
But if the original died, wouldn't the Zygon version seize to exist and just go back to being a regular Zygon?
I'll keep sowing them seeds!
The female companion could be a historical one, around the same age/or a year or two older than Clara, no child related plots and travels with the Doctor full time, though we do see her time when needed.
The male companion could be working in London but perhaps not actually from it. He might not even be British.
Why does the video game Crash Twin-sanity come to mind

Twins and Doctor Who really don't go well together
