The New Doctor Gets His New Companion

I'm still weirded out by how young this guy is.

When actor Matt Smith takes over the iconic role of Doctor Who next year from David Tennant, he'll be bringing all sorts of other changes to the show with him.  There's been talk of a new Tardis interior, new villains and of course . . . a brand new companion.

 

After all, what would the Doctor be without some beautiful young companion on his arm that he has to rescue from certain death every five minutes or so?  This new Doctor is no different.  Travelling with him will be 21 year old actress Karen Gillian, who has officially been announced by the BBC as the 11th Doctor's new travelling partner.

 

When asked about her, the show's Executive Producer and head writer Stephen Moffat had the following to say:

 
He described her as "funny, and clever, and gorgeous, and sexy. Or Scottish, which is the quick way of saying it".

 

"A generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too," he added.

 

She certainly is beautiful, but will she be smart and feisty and adventurous as all of the good companions of the Doctor's have been?  Only time will tell, but now that the Doctor finally has his new companion, we can finally get this show on the road.  Let's get to filming new episodes folks.  I can't wait to see new Doctor Who.
