It's the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death on Saturday, so it must be Anne Hathaway biggrin.gif

Because football fans are obviously the biggest purveyors of sci-fi.

I didn't realise we'd have an announcement so soon! Looking forward to seeing who they've gone for.

Pearl Mackie is The Doctor's new companion. She is currently starring in the West End production of 'The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night Time'. She's got limited TV/film experience, with her only roles being a bit part in the British film Svengali & like all Equity members, an episode of BBC soap Doctors.

Character's name is Bill! Not sure on that name but the character and acting seemed good in the short clip they showed, excited biggrin.gif

She seems like she could shape up an interesting character! Would be nice to have another companion with a similar personality like Martha I think.

She reminded me of ace in the short clip, a bit sassy and street. Hmmm...

In terms of her character, I think that clip will have put more people off than attracting people. I'm hoping that they might be trying to achieve something similar to Donna though so I will withhold my personal judgement.

It's good though that its clear from the offset that she'll be different to Clara. I'm just not sure, based from that clip, if she's suitable for Peter's Doctor.

Still exciting nonetheless and its great that they shot something special for the reveal!

Not sure if the Peter's doctor and her could look although I'll wait and see what happens there.

True tho ph34r.gif

From that clip, she looks really annoying :'( I can only hope they do something interesting with her that doesn't make her the standard ditzy comic relief character (although something other than 'most important woman in the universe' that's been used for EVERY companion would also be nice).

I'm sure they're just trying to immediately show that she's different to Amy/Clara and highlight some personality, which can be quite hard to do in a 2 minute clip. I am holding out for a Donna-style development as I remember being so annoyed when I heard that she would be joining Series 4 but, the fact that she brought something different to the classic everyday girl meant she became one of my favourite companions!

The clip for those yet to see!:

She looks interesting, like a combination of Donna & Martha. Looking forward to Series 7!

lead companion rank:

1 Rose Tyler
2 Donna Noble
3 Clara Oswald
4 Amy Pond
5 Martha Jones

can't judge Bill much from the clip but it looks like she'll be different to Clara which is good, hopefully I'll like her. Not a fan of the name Bill though, sounds like a man's name.

Severely underwhelmed... hated that clip.

I fear she is going to fall into Martha territory and no-one is here for that
