What I Would Like For The Next Companion

There's no such rule of thumb otherwise Liz Shaw wouldn't be a companion.
Doctor: "You can't just go around burning people at the stake."
Mary: "Why not?"
Doctor: "Because it's not nice."
There was a suggestion some while back that the Doctor should stop off in Scotland, and drop in on Jamie McCrimmon... and leave again, this time with Jamie's son as a companion.
Jamie doesn't know who the Doctor is.
The Timelords wiped his memory.
Why would he give his child away to a stranger?

Shit.
6 actually had a teamup with the 17th Doctor in the 2 Doctors.

That would be grand. though it would mean that he also went back for Jamie and had found the Time Lords/Gallifrey by then (and was again in trouble with his own government).
That and they'd need someone who would pass off being Patrick Troughton if they go that route someday.
Perhaps just before or after being the Valeyard (Six gets all the weird future post-war Doctors)

They didn't wipe his memory of his first adventure. They wiped his memories of traveling with the Doctor.
And given Frazer Hines' age, his son/grandson would hardly be a child. That is, if Frazer Hines were to make a guest appearance.
There was a line about Zoe/Victoria (forget which) being off doing something else, which is why it was just the Doctor and Jamie. So this was not intended to be post-War Games for the Doctor and Jamie.
You didn't like the kid from An Adventure in Time and Space?
They don't need to show a fake Troughton.
Just skip 17, and then have 18 explain some stuff in exposition.
I was thinking about David Warner's line about Ultravox splitting up
(Who the fuck is Ultravox?)
Have someone from the recent past, that we are a few steps ahead of is quite fun.
The 5th Doctor in audioland recently momentarily forgot that Tegan wouldn't have a cellphone. It made me giggle. Tegan was clueless.
This is what they did in the News Room.
2 years in the past, so that they could use real god damned news.
Imagine if he took a companion and someone let it slip that Curt Cobain died, and the companion goes mental "WEHAVETOSAVEHIM!" and by the time HE finally calms down, "okay, okay, I can deal, I can deal, when we're finished, you're going to take me back a day after we left, right? That's the deal? So how long, how many years of his great music do I have until he dies? Whaddu mean he dies the day after I come back?!"
Somehow they get the real Prince Charles to be a companion for a special, and they take him back in time to see Diana one last time, but once he arrives in 1984, he starts running away from the Doctor because he'd rather get another leg over with young Camilla than deal the old trouble and strife.
I think there was an episode of the Goodies, where terrorists kidnapped and ransomed Prince Charles's ears?

Pulling the opposite of the War Doctor and skipping a Doctor onscreen, only mentioning him? That would be cool.
But I am sure Tom Baker can shoot some footage to be used 30 years from now in two small regeneration stories.

I wonder if Tom puts a mirror beside his television when he watches the Leisure Hive to see how close they got it?
That's rather unkind. His RL self doesn't look anything like how he was made to look in that story.
You're reading it wrong.
Imagine I'm not a #### and try again.
By not looking like the hag they turned him into, Tom feels good about himself.
"See that, they got it wrong, they got it all wrong, 30 years later and I'm still gorgeous!"

Okay.
Is a Blake's Seven cross over still off the table?
A night of long knives, where the Federation finally gets what's coming to it, and Servelan dodging blaster fire, not quite sure where she is running to, accidentally ends up in the TARDIS control room.
Then as far as the story is concerned you wouldn't be completely sure if the Doctor is ignorant or if HE is what Servelan is got caming for her (Caming is not a word, but coming doesn't exactly fit.).

No Rose and No Clara.
I liked Shona she seemed normal compared to Rose and some of the other would be companions.
Someone who is not going to fall in love with the doctor. (tired of that trope)
Someone who actually seems to like their family or their family likes them (I am tired of the hateful family members tropes or the "oh god your mother is annoying* trope)
I liked the way they did the relationships in the classic series. Well not the "fetch me tea and or the cry and scream at a noise" part but both working together. No one falling in love with each other (well maybe Barbara and Ian) Both working together to solve the crisis of the week.
But I do like the way they do it now with knowing more about the companion and the doctor.
Oh and I want him to find Galifrey.
A combination of Donna/Amy/River/Rory would be nice.

Clara's grandma seems nice, but her parents were just terrible.
His girlfriends mother is allowed to judge him.
Two ways to avoid that.
No girlfriend or no girlfriends mum.
