With The Syndicate Masterplan having a one-off companion and with The Key To Time having a one-off companion in Romana I, I do wonder if we could get another new companion for Tom, slotted between them?
Now I realise that Ann Kelso was developed with Jane Slavin in mind because Tom got on so well with her, otherwise he might not have been so receptive to the concept. But Sharron has been introduced as another non television companion who either fits between Sarah Jane and Leela or in this period between Leela and Romana, but is their room for any more?
What type of character would you like it to be?
Whether in a full series, a mini series (8 episodes) or in a shorter duration.
My initial thoughts were
1, have a non contemporary human companion. An alien such as a female Draconian.
2, have a companion that K9 doesn’t like, at least not initially. Most people like K9 and K9 seems to like most people, but an alien would not have the same affinity to dogs us humans do. Would it work having two companions of the Doctor in the Tardis that don’t get along?
3, have a companion that links to New Who to tempt in new listeners for whom New Who is really the only Who. In the past I have suggested Lady Christina as a past companion for Tom being the reason the Tenth Doctor didn’t take her on, but with her having her own series and meeting the Tenth Doctor again on audio I think that ship has sailed!
But then with all those thoughts still in mind how about a Catkind companion. I could see either a male or female character working.
I can practically hear The Doctor telling his two companions to stop fighting like cats and dogs!
