Doctor Who News: And the New Companion Is... · 8:08pm Apr 23rd, 2016
Pearl Mackie as Bill!
Well, we've finally been introduced to the new companion and I have only one thing to say: I WANT MORE! In just these two minutes of footage, I instantly took a liking to Bill. Her chemistry with Capaldi's Doctor is different from Clara's but equally as entertaining. I think Bill is going to be a very worthy companion to follow in the footsteps of the fantastic Clara Oswald. It's also great that we're finally getting another non-white companion. It's hard to believe that we haven't seen one since Martha Jones.

Awesome! I was wondering who we'd get!
So, she's a girl named Bill?
Either way, I agree. She looks fun. Can't wait to get me some more Doctor Who.

I imagine "Bill" is probably her nickname. Similar to Ace and her full name being Dorothy Gale McShane. I'm sure we'll learn her full name when she's officially introduced in the show (which I imagine will be during this year's Christmas Special). Gah! It's aggravating that we have to wait so long for the next season of Doctor Who. Thankfully, there's plenty of stuff to keep me occupied until then like the rest of MLP Season 6, Captain America: Civil War, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Ace Attorney anime, and a bunch of other shows and movies.
