It seems it will take a special someone to replace Jenna Coleman and The Doctor has teased new details.

It’s official. The Doctor Who team have “had talks” about new new companion.
When Jenna Coleman confirmed she would be quitting the BBC One series as she teased an “emotional” goodbye to the TARDIS , every actress under the sun was linked as her replacement.

And despite the likes of Faye Marsay being ‘poised for next Doctor Who companion role’ , nothing has been confirmed about the new position…. until now.

Peter Capaldi has teased that they’ve had talks and they’re looking for someone “different”.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com, he said: “We’ve just had some brief talks about it, we haven’t actually chosen someone yet — that I know of. Perhaps someone has been chosen but I would expect that I would meet them before we finalised all that.

“So we’re looking for someone different ,” he added with a smile, while reportedly emphasising ‘different’.

Mark Gatiss previously revealed that Coleman’s replacement on Doctor Who could be played by a man.The 48-year-old writer thinks it would be “very interesting” for the Doctor, currently played by Peter Capaldi, to have “a male companion” once the 29-year-old actress, who plays Clara Oswald, leaves the sci-fi series after its current season.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the Attitude Awards in London, he said: “I’ve always been a fan of the boy/girl partnership from way back when.

“It would be very interesting if the Doctor had a male companion… but then it would be a very male show.”

Mark thinks Peter, 57, who succeeded Matt Smith in the role in 2013, has really “grown into” the part.

He added: “I love the way people have responded to this series, and I love the two-parters as well.”
