I'd like to cast my vote Shappi Khorsandi. Easy on the eye and I think she would be a brilliant assistant.

For a moment I mistakenly read 'Kardashian' in your posting! I thought clearly not; I would stop watching the show!!!! I can just imagine the 'wookie' one picking up a Dalek and snapping it in half!!

I know who you mean now, and I like her! Unfortunately I think she's a bit 'old' to play a new companion, because Matt Smith is too young by comparison.

He's 900+ years old, if anyone is robbing the cradle it's the Timelord.
Give me a male companion, just a bloke, or a alien like Turlough.
Alien by preference (although under current management, I think we'll almost certainly get a contemporary human).
How about someone not from the UK? Have they done that before? Maybe an American?
P.S. Aren't we a long way from this too? Like 1-2 years??

They've done US and Australian companions before (character nationalities, not necessarily actor nationalities) and as for 1-2 years, that may be so for the Doctor but [spoiler]Moffatt has said that they're pretty much done with the 'Ponds' by mid-season 2012.[/spoiler]
(The above is in the public domain but I don't have a source so I've protected it for the sake of the weak at heart :))
But no non-UK companions at least in the modern (2005+) Doctor Who - right? You must be talking about before I really was watching.
Oh yes, sure - I'm in deep history. :)
Ahh, good! Because I'd be in favor of a certain former Colonial Viper pilot getting aboard the Tardis. But, I might be a little biased. :)
P.S. Or how about Michelle Ryan? I liked her in the "Planet of the Dead" special.
I'm with Meds, it would be great if it were one companion and a man but I doubt they'd do it. They like to have a little "soap opera" element in Who these days.
Peri's character was American, and had quite a few fans during the mid-80s! The character could be quite a bit winy, but left her mark on the show!

She did a passable job with the accent, but used some very British syntax at times, but as easy as she was on the eyes, I can overlook that.
My vote is for alien. Something different would be nice.
You know who would be cool to see on the show is David Hewlett. We know he'd do it in a heart beat if he could as well.
I agree with some on here, be nice to have a male companion, my vote - Alan Tudyk.
I hadn't thought of Hewlett.
Maybe not McKay but as another character he could be great.

I loved David Hewlett on SG: Atlantis, but I think he's a bit too much like the Doctor already. He needs a counter balance to his eccentric nature. If it was a man this time, I'd pick more of an action hero type guy - similar to Captain Jack Harkness. I'd still prefer a female companion. I think it helps have both a male and female in the Tardis. Gives everyone out there someone to sort of identify with. Unless they turn the whole thing around and have a woman Doctor someday and a male companion. But I know Meds at least hates that idea.
BLASPHEMER!!!!!! Get off your forums now Rico for saying such a thing. Lol ;)
Yes, I guess Hewlett alone wouldn't work quite as well but perhaps with another? As I said, his McKay persona wouldn't play (for the 'too similar to the Doctor' reason) but surely a compromise chaacter would be possible?
I'd even go for a older woman, like in Big Finish.

Only if Moffat can work in dinosaurs and his character saying "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

If any one can, the Moffat man can.
I'd make a good companion, just thought i'd say lol
