Dr Who

I watched the first episode of the new season of Dr Who this evening, it included the debut - as a proper companion - of Jenna Louise Coleman. I think she will make a good companion. The episode was classic Dr Who. I've loved Dr Who throughout the time it has been on TV, which for a sci-fi series is a long time. Every year there is something new to look forward to. The Doctor always has a companion or two. They tend to be female on the whole, although there are sometimes exceptions. I don't think there has been a companion that I haven't liked, some of the special episodes have used one-off companions. I tend to prefer it when there is a lone female companion with The Doctor and they get split up and she is in danger but finds her own way out of a problem even when it looks like she has failed. That mix of beauty, vulnerability but also strength of character are what makes a great companion. The new one has those qualities. The photo below was from the Christmas special when the new companion first became known, there was a Daleks episode in the previous series where she had a small part, but it wasn't widely known she would become the next companion at the time.
