I can see why someone would pick her as a companion.

So wait...is this Doctor Who or Ultraviolet?

I think that David Tennant said that he'd like to appear in the film/s, as it wouldn't take up as much of his schedule as the tv show would (partly the reason why he left the show was he didn't want to hang around until he no longer enjoyed it, and he had other jobs he had to do in the meantime, like a production of Hamlet).

My god she's 12' tall!

And damned gorgeous too.

According to IMDB she Karen played a Soothsayer in the Doctor Who episode “The Fires of Pompeii “ in season 4.

Wow, the average age of the TARDIS crew just dipped to like 12.

Oh, and Tennant's also appearing as the Doctor in two episodes of the upcoming Series 3 of The Sarah Jane Adventures. He's doing so much Doctor Who that he, y'know, might as well stay on. :-/

I'm not having good feelings about the new Doctor or companion, but I'll wait and give 'em a shot.

I was under the impression that all British people were "rather pale."

I'm having a good feeling in my pants looking at her right now. Next year will be worth watching.

I was actually hoping they'd fill the hiatus with more animated shows, since The Infinite Quest was a hell of a lot of fun. I'll gladly take a new one.

Anyway, a Tennant-starring movie would be neat, but it might not be good for Matt Smith's tenure if Tennant keeps hanging around the background in higher-profile stuff. Better to make it a clean break.

(And lord knows the BBC won't be able to do a Doctor Who script without going back to the tapped-out Daleks as the bad guys. Yes, we get it, they're cultural institutions in the UK... but enough already.)

I may need to start watching Dr Who.

I would like to take a moment to thank the United Kingdom, and in this case Ireland (I would guess) for their contribution to the world of beautiful women. Thank you ever so much, Brits.

If I ever end up single again, I'm finding and marrying a British woman and moving in with her.

please don't let russell t davies anywhere near the productions or script,.. he makes it really camp and overly gay.

I hadn't heard about the companion yet but on first glance I really don't like her.
Which is unfair of course, as I've not seen her act.
Though I do think the Doctor is way overdue for a steady male companion. (Not like Jack, like Turlough or something.) Have the female companion as well of course, but really now, it's been much too long, and frankly a Doctor as young as that needs another young male to provide him company :s

What does pale skin have to do with anything? Would you have said Freema was "rather dark"?

So to draw attention away from a young and pale unknown Doctor, they cast a young and pale unknown companion? That can't possibly not work.

She is cute though.

I have a feeling I'm not going to stick around after Tennant leaves. I'll give it a fair go.

If they're considering messing up actor continuity so they can have a Tennant feature can we have an Eccleston feature instead?

Hell, if they're going to do a movie then why not have multiple actors play the Doctor for a real multi-Doctor aventure. That should help make it seem like more than a 90 minute episode.

she's pretty cute

God damn it, can we have a (human) man or a interesting alien in the TARDIS. Not Jack, just god damn, can we have a sci-fi story without the love interest.

@ Why you hatin' on white people?

No. I'd have said Freema was mocha-licious, and I would be the first to volunteer to slip some cream into her coffee.

Freema's just about the perfect chick, if you ask me.

I think she's rather striking.

I'd love to see Tennant in the film role, but perhaps that's a bit unfair, considering I've not seen how Eleven does yet.

Can we make requests for FFF?

What? I'm just asking.

If this keeps up , The Doc and his companion will be the same age as Sara Jane's companions.Anyone up for "Who babies"."The Children of Who"."Gallifrey High".

long as it dosent turn into some sort of twilight version Doctor who im ok with it.
