Let's not have another character who could have been lifted straight out of EastEnders. The companions shouldn't all be ersatz cockneys, let's have a bit of variety.
Doctor Who... Page 273
Yes if it's her it'll just be the same old Rose/Martha stuff. Boooring.
God, I'm almost past caring about the next series. Bleh.

Oh god, you're right.
Oh, that's so obviously what they're going to do.
Oh dear. 
Quote: Griff @ January 21 2009, 2:20 PM GMTWell Michelle Ryan wasn't a Cockney in Merlin or the Bionic Woman so there's no reason she would be in Doctor Who.
Yes there is: all the assistants in Dr Who since 2005 have been straight out of Eastenders. Even the counterfeit Dr in the Christmas special had a cockney assistant!

True, with Tom Baker...
Griff - yes, I'd like the Tardis to go to other planets and not keep coming back to London to visit the assistant's mum. That's been done to death.
I haven't seen her in EastEnders or Bionic Woman, but if she's a professional actress, why not hire her.
No ones actually said it is Ryan yet. I'm just saying. They said it was Lilly Allen last week. And Kelly Brook.

I am totally past caring.

I think there's two reasons for that, firstly money. It's cheaper. Though they could pretend it was Manchester, or wherever. Secondly, the family aspect helps attract a wider audience, I think.

Bionic Woman was quite fun. But she really is quite wooden.
If they want a young woman, why can't they bring Sally Sparrow back? She was good.

You two fickle people boggle my mind.
Quote: Griff @ January 21 2009, 2:20 PM GMTNow they've brought attraction into it there's only one combination left I think?
Or mutual hatred but a grudging acceptance that they work well as a team and need each other in order to survive?

More so than Martha?!
