Doctor Who: 8 Predictions For Series 8

By Rebecca Kulik /

4. Clara Will React Unusually Well To The New Doctor

Rose freaked when the Doctor regenerated. She had no idea what was going on, who this guy was, what exactly had happened. The Doctor took her home because she was freaking out, and neither of them were sure if she was going to keep traveling with him. Clara€™s a totally different beast. Clara€™s already known the Doctor in all his regenerations, and was even a regeneration of a Time Lord herself once. She knows the score with regeneration, and she€™ll totally understand what€™s going on. The first thing she€™ll do is probably make him a cup of tea. Maybe her mother instincts will kick in and she€™ll get fussy. She€™ll compliment the new chin. Questions: will the Doctor be helped or freaked out by how calm and focused Clara is about the whole thing? It€™s like when €œbigger on the inside€ doesn€™t happen: it€™s weird for him. Will Clara have doubts about continuing her travels with him?
