8 Doctor Who Companions Who Should Make A Return

6. Romana

Romana was a fellow Time Lord who travelled with the Fourth Doctor before becoming the Lady President of the Time Lords. Due to the fact that she's a Time Lord, Romana has the ability to regenerate and therefore her different incarnations are differed by numbers by the fans. In canon there is Romana I, Romana II, Romana III and Romana IV.

Romana IV has never been seen, so when it comes to casting her, anyone could take a go at playing the iconic character. If the writers wanted, they could even re-introduce Romana as Romana V! While it is suggested that Romana suffered in the Time War just as many other Time Lords, it's entirely possible that Romana found a way to escape the events of the Time War and is now in hiding.

With all the revelations about the history of the Time Lords and the Timeless Child, it may be time for Romana to return to the show to assist The Doctor. What would Romana think of a female Doctor? Perhaps Romana won't find it to be that un-ordinary. Even still, her return would be sure to offer some exciting story possibilties.
