I love Matthew already - I really, really do. A sweet young man who Six decides to show the universe to? I'm in. Oh, their gentle hearts. Given the darkness in the trailer, is Matthew going to make his chronological debut in the Flip and Constance stories, I wonder? Blimey, it's only a few hours since you said you didn't need him. When you fall for someone, you fall fast.

So much of Six's life has been left undefined. The original series still ongoing, the unknown when so much is known, Big Finish putting pieces on the board.... I don't need a linear timeline for it.

We get a companion for a couple episodes, then a new one, etc etc. Lack of consistency especially considering the number of episodes we get per year.

I actually liked that - it made the cliffhanger last a little longer and the reveal in The Widow's Assassin is a joy - and we didn't need to see the goodbye as she ultimately came back (not sure if that was planned or not all those years ago). However I do agree I'm a wee bit disappointed that we're not getting more of Team Quicksilver this year. I'd rather continue one storyline in order and then move onto the next. This is rather like airing Season 5 of a TV show alongside Season 4.

We're already on a Doctor rota. I don't see a problem with a companion rota too.

I really like the unique flexibility they get with Colin. Both he and Sylvester have unique positions as they could have had very long lives. Sylvester is noticeably far older when he regenerates into McGann and with Time Lord age that gives him 100s of years.
We never see what Colin looks like. I personally think he could show up on telly with a mop of curly hair and it be perfectly believable him looking how he looks everywhere else.
I think it's lovely we are able to do so much with Colin. And as an actress I am very happy for him. He's said several times BF feels like his job and he mostly focuses on his role as The Doctor. Obviously one of the joys of acting is to do different characters but developing a character for 20 years straight with regular interpretation is a dream come true for many of us! And I definitely think Colin is a little of both. He clearly enjoys beong The Doctor but he's also a lot of fun when he plays other characters too.
I hope he mentions Steven at least once. Steve and Vickie are my favourite First Doctor companions and I love it when they are mentioned even if it's just a press release.

I don't think the plan ever was to not to have Flip return. Six's guilt over Flip leaving and Flip marrying Jared, after being unsure whether or not she fitted into his life anymore, felt too prevelant for anything but a follow up. Flip's arc wasn't done.
