    Arguably the two best companions among those three.

    Near the end of the episode when Clara woke up, she saw The Doctor and he spoke words but were they the words of a good man?:confused:

    In this episode Clara has short hair, looks very nice and in the next episode she has long hair, when did that happen?:confused:

    I've just realised how STUPID I have been

    We see and hear Foxes singing Don't Stop Me Now while Clara and the Doctor discuss that this adventure would be a good one to end it all, to stop travelling ....

    In the middle of the episode Maisie basically tells Clara the Doctor was really bad and mean, but why didn't she stop travelling with him, why didn't she leave the door slammed shut, unless she can't?

    Finally, at the end of the episode, basically Clara does as the song said, she doesn't stop because she is having such a good time ....

    Duh ! Only took one week for me to get it!

    What I liked was how he was on the same wavelength as the Doctor. It would be a welcome change, as far as I'm concerned, to have a companion who was worldly and worked well with the Doctor instead of one who was naive and antagonistic for all but a few minutes of the episode. In addition, two blokes off an adventure would have a greater sense of camaraderie, IMO.

    They were secondary companions really thoug weren't they; the companions of companions. None of them were chosen by the Doctor, they were baggage in fact.

    Agreed. Wouldn't it be a change to have a nice steady companion who may pull up the Doctor from time to time if he gets OTT but doesn't throw strops or get too emotionally involved with him and end up more or less treating him as just another bloke who happens to be a time traveller, as seems to be happening at the moment. And who doesn't save the universe as a side line.

    Yes I should also mention that I loved the rendering of the classic Don't Stop Me Now.

    The thing is, I usually miss all these connections in the programme, only realising I have missed them when I come on here and have them carefully pointed out by those more observant and astute than myself.

    So, having noticed the aptness of the song, I want to get the kudos for it. :D
