Only skimmed the article, but I think it suggests he's a recurring character, rather than a companion?

I thought it would be the floppy-haired guy from The Day of the Doctor.
Samuel and Jenna have worked together on Emmerdale, so maybe they're friends in RL? |

Wow, they actually did a press release for him and all. Is this the first time the new series have done this for a male companion?
Danny Pink - like the name. Actor's rather nice looking too and two teachers in the TARDIS again is great. |

It was expected by a fair few people that given Capaldi's older, they would introduce a younger male actor for some eye candy, and to take any issues out of the Clara/Doctor relationship..

Interesting it's another Emmerdale actor too.
Looking forward to him. |

But I also think his character will give Clara a stronger connection to (modern day) Earth. What little we saw of her family during the Christmas episode was not very exciting, and Clara doesn't seem close to them at all. A friend from work actually seems more likely to have a lasting inpact, and of course the writers can always add a little attraction/tension between the two for the shippers among the fans

The article also said that Pippa Bennett-Warner had been cast but did'nt mention her role, however it claimed that she had been in Death in Paradise but I can't find her listed as being so.

I hope he's learned to act since he was in Emmerdale - he was terrible!

I wonder if Samuel will get his name in the opening credits with Peter and Jenna?

At the very least I think we can expect a mention of Ian Chesterton now that we know that Coal Hill's sticking around. Possibly a cameo, but the 50th surely would have been the time.
Anyway, good news. I like the actor, the name, and the idea.

There was something (can't recall if it was in an actual article or just rumour/speculation) a while back that Moffat intended Series 8 to hark back to the Classic series in a big way.

Good news. Hmm, Danny Pink, Colonel Blue...can we expect a Miss (or Mr) Scarlett in the cast?
