I actually am looking forward to her! I have seen the adverts as her role of Magaret Thatcher, she is such a good actress.

Great post, however I always imaged the Doctor's newer companions as being in the twenties or thirties like Rose, Martha and Donna but we will see. She might be a sort of Barbara figure?
