Continuation of: Spoilers & Information Beginning to Come In (Part 2)



The new companion won't be in it apparently.
That's a shame. Would have liked the doctor to meet the companion whilst on a lighthearted Christmas adventure, so that on episode 1 of series 10 they could be straight off on an adventure somewhere.

It's seem's like a wasted oppurtunity, so now episode 1 will have to be the usual 'doctor lands in 21st century earth where the companionn spends the episode doing stuff that convinces him to take them with him' episode, and we won't get a proper time/space episode until episode 2.

Hmm. First glimpse...not impressed. There's just something about her feet. They just don't engage me, somehow. Already a bit disappointed, frankly.

They look too feisty and unimpressed to me... and yet another companion with two legs.

There's no actually going to be some Doctor Who news is there

It would be nice to see a companion that doesn't fall under the young/mid 20's female (such as Donna) but I don't think Moffat would do that so am fully expecting the actress revealed to be the new companion to fall under the same group....

People with inside knowledge would be betting on this. Pearl Mackie is almost certainly the gal.

Isn't it a bit self defeating for bookies to do who will be the companion bet, as those who know can make a killing out of them

After the latest photo released I'm not so sure.

No they wouldn't, they'd be out of a job faster than the Angel's can move when no one is looking at them.

And by that logic wouldn't Capaldi have been better odds to be Doctor?

He was odds-on before he was announced. It's actually why I started watching The Thick of It.

If it's Rakhee, then you've got an actress in her 30s but I really don't get why people have such an issue with the companions being 20 something characters. They've mostly been that way since the show's beginning and we do get older companions from time to time. I just want them to be well written, engaging and work well with Capaldi's Doctor.

Matt Smith appeared out of nowhere on the bookie's lists hours/days before he was announced.

Capaldi may not have been an odds on favourite (I can't recall) but he was certainly up there prior to the announcement.


So the word does get out one way or another.

I think that's all that anyone wants really, and most people will consider the companion for who they are rather than who they aren't. I wouldn't dislike a companion just because she was in her 20's...as someone in my 20's I suppose I should find it relateable or something? I wouldn't spite a companion for their age or anything, especially when I've not seen the direction they're taking the character in. But in terms of potential, I think there's a lot where an older companion is concerned and I'd love to see it realised. It doesn't make me like Clara/Martha/Rose any less than I do (less a fan of Amy), and it doesn't make me annoyed if they do cast a 20-something again (it is at the end of the day about who is right for the role, and I want it to be as you say well written, engaging and to work well with Capaldi's Doctor) but equally I'm still left wanting to see what they can do with someone who is a bit older.

They did it with the Doctor and it's paid off as far as I'm concerned... and whilst I wasn't a huge fan of The Husbands of River Song, the episode simply shone when Capaldi and Alex Kingston were put in a room together and just given dialogue to work with. Granted it's not about their age, rather than their chemistry, but it certainly didn't hurt having two actors of a similar and slightly older age on screen at once

Betting on Capaldi was suspended the day before the reveal due to people trying to put money on him at any price. Matt Smith came from nowhere to joint favourite the day before his reveal, and that was despite almost everyone online thinking Paterson Joseph was getting the gig.

Richard Molesworth, who was a producer on Doctor Who Live: The Afterparty (the Day of the Doctor post game show) has said on gallifreybase it's not possible to keep reveals on shows like that secret, dozens of people working on them need to know the running order.

It's naive to think there's not insider betting on this. And oh look, Pearl Mackie is the new companion.

Just on this, UK & Irish bookies take bets on the WWE wrestling pay per views every month, despite the fact they're scripted shows & everyone knows the moment the booking meeting where the outcomes of matches are decided is over the WWE employees are putting bets on. On the face of it it's insane, but presumably the bookies make enough from wrestling fans who don't know the results to make it worth their while.

Doctor Who Magazine ‏@DWMtweets 4 hours ago

A new Doctor Who Magazine is out this week, in which exec producer Brian Minchin tells us how they started making the next series in secret!
So Series 10 has begun filming in Secret..

Then they just spoil everything near the airdate anyway.

Making doesn't equal filming.. its most likely just the production stuff before filming.. which is hardly a surprise/secret... unless its in regard to filming the skit to introduce the new companion....

The 'skit' which everyone keeps reffering to as a 'skit' as though it's point of fact, despite official sources such as the bbc themselves actually stating that it is 'an exclusive scene from a future episode of doctor who' which would mean that filming on the series has started in secret for whatever episode this scene is from.

Unless of course, it has been labelled that way by mistake, but then Im sure I saw on a thread the other day that doctor who magazine has also labelled it that way, and if it were a mistake, surely the bbc would have changed the description on the website by now.

But the casting director indicates that it was a specially filmed audition piece... http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-...fresh-and-new/
