Connor Johnston proposes a choice for the next full time companion in the form of Zawe Ashton – aka Journey Blue.
Whether it be next week, next month, at Christmas or at the end of Series 9, the unfortunate truth is that Clara Oswald will eventually depart the TARDIS doors for the last time, and a new companion will in turn replace her. Regardless of when this occurs, the ongoing and never ending speculation and conversations have only been fuelled extensively by the recent rumours regarding this year’s Christmas special. During “Into the Dalek”, we were introduced to a character whom I feel would be the perfect person to fill the extraordinary large shoes Jenna Coleman will leave behind.
This person of course being Lieutenant Journey Blue of the Combined Galactic Resistance, portrayed by the memorable Zawe Ashton. As a Character Now this isn’t to say that Journey is an emotionless robot that can do nothing but follow orders – quite the opposite. As a Companion As a Soldier.

Since the first glimpse of a menacing plunger at the end of Doctor Who’s fifth episode on 21 December 1963, Skaro’s hate-filled mutants have been a permanent fixture in the show’s 51-year history.
Despite some periods off screen, their unique design has always kept them in the public consciousness and any match between the Daleks and the Doctor, especially a freshly regenerated Doctor, always causes a bit of a stir. Over the years, their evil plans have varied between brilliantly bold and dastardly underhand. From duplicates to pig-slaves, time corridors to robotic Doctors, they keep coming back and the Twelfth Doctor has just been closer than any of his predecessors, going literally ‘Into the Dalek’. To celebrate, CultBox decided to count down every Dalek story on screen (cameo appearances notwithstanding) and reveal our all-time favourite… 25. 24.

BBC One - Doctor Who, Series 8, Deep Breath , Deep Breath. All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum. Features Published on August 17th, 2014 | by Alex Skerratt The universe is big and vast and complicated, and sometimes, multiple castings happen and we call them miracles.
Yes, some people may have freaked out when Peter Capaldi was cast as the Doctor, because he had appeared in the Whoniverse before, as Caecilius in 2008′s The Fires of Pompeii and as John Frobisher in Torchwood: Children of Earth. And whilst there are rumours that these recurring faces may be addressed at some point in Series 8, we take a look back at twelve other actors who have played multiple roles in the show’s history, and we ask, Does it really matter if we’ve seen them before…?

For me, I am on the latter side – I’m not opposed to a well-founded explanation, but I don’t really see the reason to make a big deal out of it, and in this article I hope to show you the reasoning behind my opinion. “I remember this… Almost remember.” Let us not forget that this has happened before.

Like their fellow Time Lord actors, William Hartnell and Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and Tom Baker also shared certain genres of film. Both appeared, before and after their time as the Doctor, in horror movies and both worked on Ray Harryhausen Sinbad films. Patrick George Troughton was born in Mill Hill, London on March 25th 1920.
