Now that we know who the next Doctor is.. it's time for rumors about his companion.

Who Will Be the Next "Doctor Who" Companion?
January 5, 2009 by Michael Hickerson || Category: TV

Now that we know who the next Doctor will be, the speculation can begin on who will play the next companion to the time traveling Time Lord.

According to NME, the BBC is considering British singer Lily Allen as the new companion for Matt Smith's eleventh Doctor.

Executive producer of the show, Piers Wenger, told the Daily Telegraph: "Having got the casting of the Doctor out of the way, the companion role is where we will be looking next. Someone terribly exciting like Billie Piper, who was at the beginning of her acting career but who had a profile for other reasons, would be great. We are looking for someone whose light can burn brightly."

While it hasn't been confirmed that Allen will be the new companion, Wenger said she'd certainly get consideration if she auditioned.

Also rumored to be in the running are Kelly Brook and Rachel Stevens.

Of course, all of these rumors should be taken with a grain of salt.

I love it.. I have it as my backgroud picture..

I can name about 2/3's of the character...

Here is his comment about this picture.

The piece was done as a two-page interior illustration for Tripwire magazine's 2008 Annual (Which you can read about here: http://rhbfictions.blogspot.com/2008/09/propaganda-reviews-tripwire-annual-2008.html ).
You can still find it at some Barnes & Noble stores or Stuart Ng Books.

Or...you can check out the magazine's publisher's Blogspot here:

...And buy it directly! Look for purchasing buttons at the bottom of the page (and go back through the blog and see some of his wonderful photos of Britain (and Geek culture)!

And last but not least, because you are all so awesome--

Thanks for the links Kenny. I can name all but 2. And its annoying me.

I can name all but the two in the upper right hand corner. Surely he could have squeezed in Sgt. Benson next to the Brigadier.

On the first picture, thats Perri and Ace, Perri was the companion of the 5th and 6th Doctor, Ace was with the 7th.

M-5 · January 06, 2009, 12:03:40 PM

I knew it was Ace, but didn't think of Perri. Thanks HawkeyeMeds!

Feathers · January 06, 2009, 02:56:38 PM

So what can't you name Meds?

I'm assuming we're talking picture 2 here.

X · January 06, 2009, 03:35:25 PM

what no Adric? Surely they could have fit one of the best companions and I think the only companion to die on screen into it.

ha ha ha ha haha, oh hold on you're serious. Did you like Adric? When i was younger i did like him as he was just a bit older than me, but now i'm older he just annoys me. Great episode when he died though.

I know th aliens on the right picture but its the two at teh bottom i cant place. I could look them up but i'm working the brain for a change ha ha
