The TARDIS has closed its doors for another year but, for the first time since 2009, there will be a vacancy aboard it when they finally reopen at some point in the future.

Jenna Coleman bid farewell to her role as Clara Oswald at the end of the last series which means that the Doctor will have to find another BFF to join him on his universal escapades in Series 10. We already know that the new companion will be “a little more Earthy” than their predecessor, but the identity of the actor/actress who will be taking on the coveted role remains, for the time being, a momentous mystery.

Luckily, Doctor Who fans are very good at speculating. Like, seriously. We deserve a medal. With that in mind, we thought we’d open this discussion to give you a place to share all of your companion theories and wishes, since you’ve probably been thinking about it already. What sort of person should accompany the Doctor through time and space? Are there any actors/actresses who are perfect for the part? And are there any characters we’ve already met who deserve the opportunity? Steven Moffat has already revealed that the show’s new co-star will be “someone new”, but a Whovian can dream, right? Have your say below…
