I think he'd do well opposite an Evelyn Smyth style character. Maybe someone who has had but has lost their Joie de Vivre, or who (like Leela, K9, Romana and Adric) are an expert in a field that the Doctor is a journeyman (albeit an innately talented one). It might be interested to give him a "21st century companion" someone who has a life outside their travels. He had an elderly companion (Mrs. Wibbsey) in the BBC's Nest Cottage trilogy.

combined with Katy's tweet that she has been recording audio with a surprising leading man for a top secret project to be announced later this year it does appear that either Iris or Jo could be the mystery companion!!!!! Matt Smith? Roy Atkinson reprising his Doctor in an unbound series? Well the photo on bafflegabs account was Tom Baker - admittedly I'm putting two and two together, they could be unconnected. Maybe Tom guest stars in the next Third Doctor box set?

Seems more like an Iris featuring an alternate 4 maybe, however KM and TB at full throttle could be a laugh riot.

well David Benson has confirmed he was also recording, so it's either Iris and Panda as the new companions or Tom guest starring in the next Iris set. Actually Panda would be awesome as a companion for four, he's one of my favourite spinoff characters of all time. combined with Katy's tweet that she has been recording audio with a surprising leading man for a top secret project to be announced later this year it does appear that either Iris or Jo could be the mystery companion!!!!! Matt Smith? Roy Atkinson reprising his Doctor in an unbound series?

Matt Smith? That would be brilliant. The 11/Jo Grant pairing in Death of the Doctor worked pretty well on SJA.

David Benson did say it wasn't a Big Finish, didn't he?

I interviewed Katy at 10th Planet's UNIT Day on Saturday and there was more than one thing she was clearly bursting to tell us. BUT DIDN'T.

Drat! She must have been getting muddled. In depth conversations are difficult to hold via twitter! The asker phrased it along the lines of 3doc v2, and her reply was "we've done 3" so I guess she didn't realise they meant a second volume of third doctor adventures. So when is that recording? (innocent expression)

An Older Male or Alien companion would be interesting i.m.o.

Personally, I wish Big Finish would give Mr. Baker a brooding Shakespearean inspired story, WITHOUT a companion. The first volume of Philip Hinchcliffe Presents proved superior to any of the 4DAs. Hmm... What's Rob Shearman's workload like these days? That got me thinking...I don't think Tom's 'talking cabbage' idea for a companion (I was never entirely sure whether it was a joke) would work full time on audio, but in Shearman's hands a maleficent, anthropomorphic vegetable plot could prove a terrifying adversary...

I'm picturing something horrendous like Flowey from Undertale. This. Very much this.

Wicked Aunty Iris on TV? ONLY if her companion is Panda, voiced by BRIAN BLESSED.

(innocent expression) so the more I think about the wording of the tweet, the more I think she meant they'd recorded 3 stories. so I'm betting a new Iris box set, they tend to be three discs. Having Tom as the guest will be doing for Iris what they did for Benny in the New Adventures range.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, and I should emphasise I have no idea what this is (not in itself unusual, if I'm not working on a BF project I often don't know about it in advance) but wasn't this a Bafflegab tweet? Saying 'here's what we've been working on today'. With that and no BF tweets, my guess would be it's a Bafflegab production and not a BF one.

Wasn't Katy in the Dorian Grey series? Perhaps a reprisal of that is on the cards.
