She's been cast in Bedlam, so is it unlikely we'll see her on Doctor Who?

Was she ever "in the running" anyway?

great so now until a companion is cast we are going to get a new thread every time a young female gets another job

My niece got a bar job on the weekend, guess she is out of the running now too

That's a shame, your niece would have probably been better than Lacey Turner anyway

Amy Winehouse died earlier this year, that's her out of the running too. Actually, in all seriousness, wasn't she one of many rumoured Christmas guest stars/companions in the gutter press at one point?!

I'm ugly...That's me out of the running.

Im a bloke,thats me out of the running too

I'm the Rani, so that's me out of the running.

I have accepted the job and start filming next year. That's me out of the running.

But I saw Lacey coming out of the Cardiff BBC building on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like running.....that puts me out the running as well.

I saw Mika Rimmer hanging around outside the Cardiff BBC building as though about to go inside on Sunday.

Yeah well I live in town that Steven Moffat's uncle's best friend's cousion once saw in a worst towns in birtain guide.

Oh shoot.........my cover is blown :/ Guys, please keep it quiet, I am the new Companion. But please don't tell the press.

On a serious note, just because she's joining Bedlam does not mean she can't be a companion.I mean surely she would be filming Bedlam now, where as Doctor airs in the Autumn which would mean filming would start around June, she could easily be in both. But still, there are 1000's of people who could be in the running.

I have nothing much going on, does that mean I'm in the running?

Is anyone?


Depends on the flexibility of her current employer.


Yes.


This "who will be the next companion" sloblocks is going to be just as tiresome as it always is.

Would you friggin believe it...I've just been cast as a companion for the next series!

Congrats DoctorQui! Brilliant! Good for you!

Right ... discussion over, everyone.

Anyone who works at the Beeb should check whether auditions are being held for a show called 'Onion Camp', 'Pocamo Inn' or 'Coin-Op Man'.

bahahaha

i quite like the sound of onion camp

I assume her bar job is more stable and long-term than being the companion (just look at Freema and Catherine Tate). I think your niece made the right decision.

I thought Colin Baker's portrayal of AAA was pretty good, actually.

I'd imagine it'll be a relative unknown, whom they can pay less than a 'name'.

I'm Spartacus so I'm out of the running

That'll be on the DS news pages before the end of the day.
