Tom to return with the 12th Doctor?

[Newspaper Taxi]

Tom, of course, being the male teacher Clara spoke to in Day of the Doctor, and not that other bloke. i09 seems to think there's a chance that Tom will be a male companion to the 12th Doctor, or at the very least there's a chance he'll come back.

And yeah, I totally made that topic title misleading. You know you want some more Tom Baker.

 

[Spocktapus]

You certainly got my hopes up for a second, despite my just having read the io9 article minutes earlier.

 

[Gov Kodos]

I'd love to see him as a recurring character for a season or two if he's game for it.

 

[P0sitr0nic]

Id love to see more of Baker. Even just small appearances in the gallery room, once in a while.

That sounds more like he is just hopeful of future appearances.

 

[The Mirrorball Man]

That would be a nice way to introduce a new companion, actually.

 

[Guy Gardener]

MIckey seemed like a throw away character at first.

What if they have always meant that after 12 regenerations a Timelord is supposed to have a re-naming ceremony?

 

[sttngfan1701d]

With the regeneration and "her" Doctor gone, they might give Clara that guy as a potential love interest. It'll be like the two schoolteachers that were with the First Doctor, too. If it happens, of course.

^Yeah I was thinking it does seem increasingly like Moffat is (softly)rebooting the show, an older Doctor, two school teacher companions...if one of the first things Capaldi does is take a trip to post Dalek Apocalyse Earth to pick up Susan it's irrefutable!

 

[Mr Awe]

^ We can only hope!

 

[Lonemagpie]

Didn't I see somewhere a few months back that Jenna will be leaving halfway through the season?

And also, wasn't there the same rumour about Martha's "Tom" a few years ago. Which never happened.

 

[Tom]

Anyone named TOM always gets a bad wrap!

Since he told Clara about his granddaughter in Rings of Akhaten, it would make sense.

That was an unsubstantiated rumor. I hope she isn't, anyway.

 

[Nerys Myk]

A couple of teachers as the Doctor's companions? What a silly idea.

 

[The Mirrorball Man]

If Moffat is really thinking about creating an echo of the original TARDIS gang, I hope he keeps a character like Ian, one of my favorite Companions, who was never afraid to take issues with the Doctor's reckless attitude.

 

[BoredShipCapt'n]

If this does happen, I hope Ian at least gets a look in at the new TARDIS.

 

[Mr Awe]

I've been watching the very early Hartnell stories and I totally agree. Ian was a great character. If what Moffat says about the Doctor being more "difficult", we may very well see this dynamic arise again. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Clara who put the brakes on the Doctor's recklessness!

I would love going back to more then one companion. Although I think I´d prefer someone who has already been established as one.
