Who Would You Like As The New Companion?

**Si Hunt** · 2nd Jul 2007, 12:34 PM

We're getting a new companion for all 13 of next years episodes, to be revealed very soon. But who would you like to see join the TARDIS, both in terms of a character (boy/girl/alien/robot dog?) and possible actors/actresses to play him/her/it?

The words "Sally" and "Sparrow" are banned from responses!!

I wouldn't say no to Emma Pierson joining the TARDIS crew... but I think it could possibly be a bloke next.

**SiHart** · 2nd Jul 2007, 12:41 PM

I'm probably alone in this, but I would like a male companion. A strong, capable young man who isn't in love with the doctor, but wants to share the adventure. I'd probably make him in his mid 20s, and probably a norhterner, so that I could cast Neil Grainger from Crossroads version 2 to play him.

I suspect we'll get another female companion thoughm so that there will be a focus on Martha's jealousy when she returns. *sigh*

Given the Mini-Doctor by The Mill , I think the time and technology is right for us to finally have the talking cabbage so beloved of Uncle Tommy B.
The twist is that its slightly psychic too and messes with Martha's head .

**Si Hunt** · 2nd Jul 2007, 12:53 PM

It would seem slightly odd, and a little pervy, to have the Doctor with two women, so I agree with Si in favouring a male companion next. It would be nice to return to the Doctor/Steven/Vicki or Dodo dynamic. Not to mention the fact that lovers of the male form are overdue some regular cast totty!

Well I'd like to see *----- ------- in the role but if not then perhaps a Young chap or older Lady...so long as neither has a crush on the Doctor this time. It's been done to death already! Enough, move on!

It would be interesting if Andrew Hayden-Smith returned playing the character he played before but the version from this universe. That'd get the boy-lovers wet.

*is there a function on here preventing me from saying ----- -------?

**Lord President** · 2nd Jul 2007, 1:38 PM

Sally Sparrow!!!!!!!!! (I laugh in the face of such rules!)

or someone older, in the mould of Evelyn Smythe!

No way! That'd lift the programme to heightened levels of twee-ness!

Lets get Sarah Jane Smith back. Stuff her series.

**Milky Tears** · 2nd Jul 2007, 1:58 PM

Jason Thompson - but only if he "does an Adric".

**Si Hunt** · 2nd Jul 2007, 2:05 PM

What, wears an outfit that you can see his cock through then gets blown up?

Si.

**Rob McCow** · 2nd Jul 2007, 2:11 PM

Somebody who was a teen pop sensation, but has since moved on... our first male companion... has to be Aaron Carter.

**Rob McCow** · 2nd Jul 2007, 2:17 PM

Fortunately, there's no chance* of it being Sally Sparrow as RTD has to have the credit for inventing all the companions.

*Unless I'm wrong.

**Si Hunt** · 2nd Jul 2007, 2:19 PM

Somebody who was a teen pop sensation, but has since moved on... our first male companion... has to be Aaron Carter.

Seconded!

Si.

**Andrew Curnow** · 2nd Jul 2007, 7:05 PM

Well based on the Fendahl theory, we can surely have a reasonable guess at the companion's name, if not the actor playing him/her. Speaking for myself, I'd like to see Claire Goose in the part of Leakey Ransome.

**Simon R** · 2nd Jul 2007, 7:13 PM

Rachel Stevens is the sort.

**Dave Tudor** · 2nd Jul 2007, 8:19 PM

I have no thoughts on the matter.

**Larry** · 2nd Jul 2007, 8:45 PM

Michell Ryan -

**Alex** · 3rd Jul 2007, 12:29 AM

I wouldn't mind Michelle Ryan too, but as she's off doing The Bionic Woman in the US it's unlikely to happen any time soon.

Dave Lewis · 3rd Jul 2007, 12:41 AM

Explicit talk of Jason's pink telescope has ruined this thread for me.

**Milky Tears** · 3rd Jul 2007, 1:19 AM

It's what we've all been waiting for.

The Sun and Paddy Power's List Of W*nk:

Who is Doc's new sidekick?

WHEN news broke that Billie Piper was leaving Doctor Who, we had to learn to love replacement sidekick Freema Agyeman - but now she's off for a break, we've got to get used to someone else!

Here are Paddy Power's odds on who might replace (or join) Freema to star as the next Doctor Who assistant.

David Tennant's character is rumoured to have TWO assistants in the new series.

So who will star as the Doc's Assistant?

8/1 Loo Brealey (Casualty)
8/1 Rose Byrne (28 Weeks Later)
9/1 Jennifer Ellison
10/1 Nikki Sanderson
10/1 Emma Pierson
10/1 Carey Mulligan
12/1 Tina O'Brien
12/1 Rachael Stirling
12/1 Samia Smith
14/1 Michelle Ryan
14/1 Jodie Albert
14/1 Charlie Brookes
14/1 Keely Hawes
16/1 Lisa Hogg
16/1 Rachel Stevens
16/1 Katherine Heath
20/1 Anna Friel
20/1 Olivia Lee
20/1 Rebecca Clarke
20/1 Eve Myles
20/1 Kelley MacDonald
25/1 Amy Nuttall
40/1 Hannah Waterman
40/1 Sienna Miller
50/1 Kerry Katona
66/1 Samantha Mumba
66/1 Charlotte Church
250/1 Coleen McLoughlin (Dr ROO!)
250/1 Katie Price (aka Jordan)

At least eight decent actresses on that list and half a dozen fat bapped slebs.

**Matthew T** · 3rd Jul 2007, 1:24 AM

Kerry Katona? Really?

Pip Madeley · 3rd Jul 2007, 1:33 AM

40/1 Hannah Waterman

Miss Winters' estranged daughter?

**Master_Rose** · 3rd Jul 2007, 2:14 AM

Lea Walker from Big Brother 7 !
