Also Georgina Campbell from 'Murdered by my Boyfriend' could be a pretty good choice.

She looks too much like a Clara clone.

I think she looks quite similar to Jenna too. Maybe it's the dark hair and the cheek bones. Of course it may not be her.
It would be nice if they cast a blonde actress or black actress just to draw a real line under the previous companion visually showing the changes. It's been a while since Billie and Freema now She looks nothing like Jenna. She's got much lighter, longer, wavy hair, lighter eyes, and generally does not resemble her at all!

Forget Dani Harmer, she's pregnant
It might be interesting to introduce a companion who is pregnant at the start, besides which there are ways of filming that avoid showing the bump and practicalities of shooting etc can be arranged around due dates and necessary time off. Why do some people always assume pregnant women are suddenly incapable of doing anything? Some women are happy to continue working as long as they can and return to work as soon as they can. |

So, with her pregnancy announced in January (and due sometime around August/September maybe), it is unlikely that she would want to be involved in the very hectic filming schedule over many long days (10 hours or more) whilst she is well into her first pregnancy (and before she takes maternity leave before and after the birth).The character that she would be playing or whether I believe that pregnancy is a barrier to work (which I don't) has nothing to do with it. It's what is viewed as practical and safe for both the unborn child and the mother by the mother, and what is practical after the child has been born. |

Good. We're agreed then. It's up to the mother-to-be.

I did not think that I had to underline that point, I assumed (wrongly it would appear) that such a point would be pretty much self-evident, especially considering the timing of both events.

I know nothing of the actress, let alone the timing of the event, so I hope you can appreciate how your first post came across.

I did say she looks similar but I didn't say the same. Obviously without seeing her look for the show it is difficult to go beyond broad
similarities right now. I'd like to see a more varied representation of different ethnicities and ages for companions. This world is a big place. Also I don't understand why the new companion needs to look completely different. It should be about the acting ability (hopefully the next one will be a big improvement on Jenna), and the storyline of the character. We could say that one companion with long red hair followed another for example, but Donna and Amy were such different characters. |

I can't act and have no experience of TV work but I'd be up for the role, I'm male and of South African/Indian descent, does that tick enough boxes?

Of course, the thing EVERY pregnant woman wants is to spend the pregnancy filming Doctor Who on a hectic, stressful schedule because being pregnant is EASY and taking on a boatload of extra work and stress on top of it is just a great example of GIRL POWER. Men... |

The implied wisdom I've read in interviews seems to be male doctor/ female companion works best despite our opinions |

According to Peter Capaldi the new companion has been cast and it's possibly someone he's worked with before.
http://metro.co.uk/2016/03/19/doctor...-cast-5761486/ A name has emerged though nothing official yet. It's April Pearson who was on Skins (as was Capaldi), no idea if they ever had scenes together though. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1535380/ Source for the name is the Doctor Who Zone twitter/facebook account. https://www.facebook.com/DoctorWhoShow/ Even if it's not April we'll probably get the official announcement soonish. ![]() Chris Miles was my favourite character. He was great! ![]() I'm sure I'll get to like April, though. I did get to like Jenna a lot, and I hadn't seen anything with her in before hand, apart from a few clips of her in Emmerdale on YouTube. |

![]() At some point it would be nice to have 2 unconnected companions again, a male and female. I can't see Moff introducing 2 companions in his last series though, that's something for Chib to decide. Indeed, the big options to me are 1) If Peter is staying for S11, then Chib won't want to inherit a Doctor AND Companion, so the Companion is likely to have a short stay 2) If Peter leaves at the end of S10, then the new Companion will be there for the regeneration and S11 |

No way are we going to get just the Doctor and a bloke but we should for Capaldi's last series have a male companion added mid way into Series 10 to freshen up the dynamic and have him NOT be the love interest of the female companion.

![]() Nooooo ! The cringey scene of a naked Doctor in Time and the Doctor scarred me enough I think. No more, no more!

Why can't you enjoy what we have You can speculate about the show's future while still enjoying the present as well. I like Peter's Doctor but I honestly suspect that Chibnall's era will be a clean slate/fresh start in every way possible. |

Why can't you enjoy what we have I generally don't think it's good for people to say 'when are they leaving' about a doctor when they've just started, but for one Capaldi hasn't just started, and secondly with all the changes happening for the 2018 series, there are tangible reasons at this moment why people would understandably speculate such a thing, rather than just for no reason, and it's no more or less of an educated guess to stay you think he is leaving than to say you think he is staying for now. |

She looks nothing like Jenna. She's got much lighter, longer, wavy hair, lighter eyes, and generally does not resemble her at all!
