Not alot to judge things on yet, but anyone else getting a 80's vibe from her clothing? Coupled with her cheeky comments, ignorance of the Daleks and the Doctor talking about 'going back to the future' in 2017...is she from the 1980's? Are we looking at a new ace?
Slighty dissapointed it's another young woman...

Slighty dissapointed it's another young woman... I thought it was always going to be a young woman, so I was expecting that. I too like the costume choices for her and very much get a 1980s vibe thus far. I love the WOW button on her jacket. I once had one of those. Most excellent to have a person of color being added to the TARDIS crew. As I noted in the other thread, I really liked that Bill was introduced with The Doctor already off to a running start. It's tough to make any other judgements based off 2 minutes and change of footage but here is hope Bill annoys The Doctor a lot. Nobody plays annoyance as well as Peter Capaldi. Now I want to know if she is being introduced at Christmas or are we waiting until series 10 beings its actual run in the spring of 2017.

I found the clip pretty enjoyable and I already like Pearl Mackie as the companion. However, I'm a little concerned that we may be in for ANOTHER modern-day companion... I think there's a good chance she might be from the past, judging by what Capaldi says in the short clip about the future, but still...

Yeah if Bill can combine the fire and cheek of Ace, with the vulnerability and ignorance of the Whoniverse that Donna had I think we are onto a winner, and yes, I'm very glad to get more ethnic minority representation. I do hope they bring in another secondary male companion at some point, the male companions usually work better when they have a female co-companion to play off anyway.

A very annoying character, where we get a clip from a future episode, rather an introduction. It doesn't actually state what year where Bill is from, only that this clip/adventure is in the past.

Least a talking cabbage would be different, well done Moffat you deliver yet another 20 something female cockney companion this time she's named Bill, "Bill"(wtf?) She is basically a cross between Rose Tyler & Martha Jones with a sprinkle of Donna Noble. I'm giving up on the new series till it changes hands & stick to my Big Finish Doctor Who audio for my fix.

Nice to see the new companion is as divisive as ever . Hard to judge from the clip, but seen things I don't like so far (like the complete lack of fear when faced with an alien shooting machine, even if it had a problem with its aim!) Possibly another missed opportunity tho'. I think either a male companion (as we've not had a decent one for ages), or an older girl either from the distant past or future would have worked well. Victorian Clara was better than present day Danny/Clara and Zoe was great. Or we could have had an alien (Leela or Romana type). Instead it does appear we have a companion in a similar vein to all the other new series companions. I'm willing to give her a go, I just hope she isn't "important for the safety of the universe" or has some secret that makes her special, we've had too many of them. Just let her be a normal person who travels with the Doctor... Cheers Tony

It would be cool if she was from the 80's I hope they go with that. And the Prince shirt does fit.
Although the actress seems to be a big fan of Prince as well if her Twitter is anything to go by.

I'm just happy to see Capaldi's hair is back to its early Pertwee era height. And honestly folks, how many companions on TV in the past 50 years and how many have been youngish 20-something females? Stop hitting Moffat for doing what every Doctor Who producer has done in the show's history. Instead how about celebrating only the third non-white companion in the show's history? And it's two minutes worth of footage. How about saving the she-sucks until entire episodes have been broadcast?
