I just can't see Jack in Capaldi's era to be honest and I'd rather we got a new male companion than an old one back.

Really? Isn't it time we had a male companion? For a long time they wouldn't give us an old Doctor, but now the reboot has been running long enough that they felt able to take that risk. Is it still too soon for a male companion?
I'd like a man, partly because it would be more of a change. I could accept multiple companions. Doctor plus 1 female has become hackned.

I'm not sure what that has to do with what we would want. (Also, Moffat lies.)

She'd be gazing in wonder at the *outside* of the TARDIS for half an episode!
Diane's great. Funny, talented....and those big blue peepers. Sigh.
Ahem. Well, she's a red headed actress mainly known for comedy so they'll never have someone like that cast as a companion, I suppose.
Hang on....

There's been lots of male companions, prior to the relaunch and since.
Do you mean isn't it time we had a solo male companion? No, I don't think it is. The Doctor is a male character, so unless the show is going to be male dominated (and I'm aware there are some sections of the audience that would prefer it to be) the companion has to be female. Personally I like women. I don't dream of a return to Victorian society where women were safely ensconced at home while men were out in the world having all the adventure. I don't ever want to see an episode like 'The Deadly Assassin' again where there was not a single female face onscreen for the entirety of the 4 episodes.
Women are great. Embrace them. They're as entertaining and as interesting as men if you give them the chance, I promise you

Ultimately she keeps on going against her off-spring pleas to not go with the Doctor and indeed the part of her head that says not too as-well.. but the pull of the amazing wonders of space and going through time is to much, she gets to see and experience things that no one else does or could even dream of doing, that's worth the risk and its time for her to do what she wants to do, she's brought up her daughter/son who is now going off into the world for themselves, she tried hard to be a good wife and still her marriage failed and caused her hurt, she's fed up with her job where she's not appreciated, so in her mind the risk is worth it to experience a different kind of life a unique life full of beauty horror and adventure...... and then she gets zapped by a Dalek.... and the Doctor has to go and tell the daughter/son what happened (possibly)
Failing that as they are likely to go with a companion(s) in their twenties, as that's TV thinking for you, I would like to see a brother and sister duo travel with the Doctor.”

I really like this idea, especially opposite Capaldi's Doctor.
Being realistic (hence ruling out the likes of Sheridan Smith & Gillian Anderson who are surely too high profile = expensive for the cash strapped BBC now, just like the idea of a couple of years ago of having Sally Sparrow (Carey Mulligan) back), I would suggest someone of the acting calibre (and sex appeal for males) of Anna Friel as a divorced mum with a younger teenage son who attends Coal Hill School to get the younger CBBC viewers interested.
