Doctor Who: 30 NuWho Characters Who Would've Made Fantastic Full-Time Companions

27. Shona McCullough

Doctor Who Blink
BBC

Appeared in: Last Christmas.

Anyone who can dance flamboyantly to Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade, is clearly prepped in case a dance-off with the Cybermen is needed to save the galaxy (we've all seen various pics and gifs of them dancing). And anyone who plans on watching Alien on Christmas Day can then impart such wonderful wisdom onto the Doctor, who hasn't even heard of it!

It's a shame that Shona didn't get to enjoy a Wetherspoons Curry Club Thursday with Clara and the Doctor; even more of a shame that we never got to see Faye Marsay as a full-time companion, as Steven Moffat “was eyeing up the possibility of writing the part of Shona as the replacement” for Jenna Coleman, who had planned on leaving at the end of series 8. That Dave better be behaving himself...

The name's Colbourn, James - yeah, doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
