More A Way Of Life… Look, this is just between you and me

I Suppose I Should Comment

I forgot to mention the official announcement regarding the new Doctor Who companion.

This is one bit of casting that had certainly been doing the rounds, even though the BBC had said that no decisions were made when her name was being linked with the show.

I've generally been pleasantly surprised by the positivity with which the news has been received, expecting a reaction based on her being a pop singer and the Chris Evans connection. I have no particular baggage regarding her, never having heard any of her songs, and not particularly caring who she married, but I did see her in The Miller's Tale last year and thought she did a great job.

That I also have significant faith in Russell T Davies helps too of course.
