When Amy and Rory leave (which may be a while), which female companion do you want cast after them?



Personalily, I think Lacey Turner should do it. She is an amazing actress, will do emotional scenes really well (which Karen Gillian is crap at imo, Billie Piper and Cath Tate were brill at it) and probs will work well with MS.

Keira Knightley or Emma Watson.

Oh would most definitely have to be Miranda. They could do all kinds of reaching things in the tardis jokes lol

Lol! I absolutely love Miranda, but NO to her for DW lol.

She would be brilliant. Turns to the camera and rolls her eyes when the Doctor is getting too technical with all his timey wimey stuff

And Penny, Stevie and Gary making guest appearances Penny starts the what I call, Tardis. Lol.


In seriousness, Lacey would be the best for the job imo lol.

Sorry, but what!? I agree about Tate, but Piper is a crap actress, and Karen is one of the most capeable actors ive ever seen. Way underated, with all the emotion she fits into a scene.

No, I dont have a crush on her. Why would you say that?

The Next Female Companion - Who Do I Want Cast?

ME!!!!!!

Never considered Lacey before, but I agree she would be brilliant. I like The Doctor having a 'team' though, so there should be more than two companions, like River, Amy, Rory and Canton in the first two episodes of this series.

Bonnie Langford.

And with that you now need to wash your mouth out with soap, carrot juice and then be banished to a Vervoid hydroponics pod for eternity.

Even before actually reading this thread, I thought of Lacey Turner. She's proved in Eastenders her versatility really well and as you say, one amazing actress. If she did do it though, I wouldn't want her to be like Stacey, I think she would need to bring something different to it to get away from that role.

I never watch Eastenders, but she was in Being Human. She was OK, but I wasn't amazingly impressed.

If only Sheridan Smith hadn't already been a companion to the 8th doctor! She would be perfect!

She was quite good in two episodes of the most recent season of Being Human

I think Amy might be gone by the end of this series.

i would go for Lauren Socha from misfits, she would be great

I'm not so sure about that. I saw her in Being Human and she played much a Stacey Slater character in it. I'm no fan of Eastenders and I may just be too acustomed to seeing her as Stacey (my mum is a massive fan so I always have to endure it when I am at home) but I thought the character was just too much like Stacey. But there you go.


I have to agree, the Doctor rarely had just the one companion and he had both male and female companions before RTD. I am loathed to seeing the old companions back - particularly as RTD brought them back to death. The only one I would ever consider forgiving Moffat for returning would be Jack Harkness as he was/is such a versatile character he would be a good companion for the Doctor, particularly Matt's Doctor. I would like to see him meet River Song - now that could be a very interesting meet. Other than that I guess the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch (who played Sherlock in the BBC adaption) and could make a good contemporary of the Doctor's. Having said that I think Benedict Cumberbatch would make a pretty good Doctor himself.

Tulisa from N-Dubz.

Laila Rouass please

Tilly would be pretty funny.

Doctor: And the way I'm going to save the world is...

*Text received*

Tilly: Bear with...bear with...bear with...



Seriously, I'd quite like either Lacey Turner or Sheridan Smith. Think they'd both be pretty good, though Lacey would work better with an older Doctor IMO.

Joanna Lumley.

Surprised Carey Mulligan's name hasn't cropped up yet actually.

I agree Karen is great, but Billie was excellent too.

My unrealistic dream would be Gillian Anderson...that'd be amazing, and would also appeal to the American audience as well.

More realistically, Amanda Burton (as a slightly older companion would work well) or Anna Louise Plowman (who played Goddard in 'Dalek, Series 1' - she's a capable actress capable of English and American accents Or Lucy Brown (Claudia/Jenny in Primeval) who is also highly capable...she may be my favourite choice.

She was never a companion on the TV series though. There's no reason why they have to treat other mediums as canon, even though many fans regard them as such. I don't see why Sheridan couldn't do it if they wanted her and she was willing.

I'd go for Anjli Mohindra playing Rani from SJA as next female companion, since it doesn't look like SJA will go on after Lis Sladen's death. Failing that, Claire Foy.
