Why do they have to mess about dissecting the match? We want to know who the new companion is, not listen to some boring football waffle.

Too short to formulate an opinion really. Although it seems to be the interchangeable sassy companion at first glance. Still, give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

The BBC have only harmed this show with that reveal. If they were going to announce the new companion in front of such a large audience, they should have cast a name actor. Now people are just going to be wondering who on Earth the new companion is rather than actually looking forward to the series.

I don't see how they've harmed it. They're going to watch it or they're not, I don't think a big name would make much difference. Besides, Freema Agyeman, Karen Gillan and Jenna Coleman weren't exactly big names when they were cast, and whilst Billie Piper and Catherine Tate were reasonably big names, they weren't known for acting before Who IIRC.
Anyway, she looks like she could be a good choice, only time will tell. I just hope she's not another modern day companion.

So I watched it on twitter and it was pretty much the best I hoped for, a little minisode with an introducing caption at the end. is that all their was on air? no studio stuff?

A bit dramatic, and i doubt that non-DW fans would watch it regardless of who the new companion is.

I am pretty sure the only people who will pay attention and be excited were already Doctor Who fans & there are plenty of us. As the companion is the next most important cast member besides the Doctor I understand why they made a big deal of this. Although an announcement is hardly the biggest deal ever.
Anyways I like the little I've seen of her. She seems fun. Closer to a Donna or a Lucie but I'll withhold judgement until we see more of her.

Ditto on not seeing how any harm was done to the show, the franchise or the actor in announcing it the way they did. I'm glad that it was a mini-episode and not done in the style Capaldi was introduced. Literally give us the Doctor and his companion off to a running start. Nice. It's really good to have the TARDIS once more not be so lily white. I really like the costume choices for her. Hopefully there is good chemistry between Pearl & Peter. Paul, nice to see snap judgments based on two minutes of footage. Way to go on the open mind and the most predictable response to the new hire I will see all day. Really, why do you bother?

Cast a teenage(?) working class newbie for viewers to go on a journey with?
