Hmmmm, if memory serves Eddie on Outpost Skaro claimed a long while ago that Matt's companion would be a Scottish maid from late Victorian times so I wonder how accurate this will turn out to be.

Maybe having a character who is a little more composed and dignified than the run we've seen so far will help detract away from the HollyOaks in Space vibe.

up until now no-one in here knew who she was or that she was in that episode.
I did. But only because i'd seen her in something else and thought she was so hot that i just had to see what else she had been in.

I know nothing about the actress, but i do feel very proud to say that i DO remember her in Fires Of Pompeii....one of the Sisterhood, i definitely remember her kneeling on the floor on worshipping the Pyrovile. No idea why, I guess the red hair stuck out as kind of odd in ancient Italy!

Will have to see how she is, hopefully she'll do a good job as what Moffat is saying sounds promising.

Oddly enough I was thinking JUST an hour ago when browsing DS that we should be getting conformation of the new assistant soon...

The actress may be 21 but I'm sure the character will be in her late teens. Maybe even a sixth former or a gap year student.

Here's a longer clip with her in. Shame about the script mind you.

Or a victorian Scottish maid. (The BBC did carefully put a 'not in costume' disclaimer next to the released picture.)

I hadn't read that rumour, sounds good. Kirstie McCrimmon has a nice ring to it!

i really hope this companion lasts more than 1 season, i'm getting fed up of companions jumping ship at the end of a season.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you crazzyaz because you make a very valid point, but it does sound a little as though SM is getting in there first as if he knows he will be criticised for her age perhaps and is pre-empting that???
Oh, I dunno. The old formula used to be older doctor, younger assistant, platonic relationship. It's a pretty old-school decision IMO, I can't see him taking much flack for that casting (unless she turns out to be awful, of course).

And as others have said, she sure is mighty pretty.

Aww, she looks cute

"Me likey, velly much" as Krusty the klown would say.

New console room, new companion and new Doctor... now excited by two out three developments (sorry Matt )

I have a feeling this Doctor/Companion partnership could last longer than just one season.

Well given how she looked in FoP at least we won't have to have any comments about being related to previous characters.

So no:

The Doctor: From Scotland are you?

Karen: Yep

The Doctor: Not got any Italian blood in you then, as you're the spitting image of someone I met in Pompeii?

Good Luck to her.
