Doctor Who: 5 Reasons Clara Should Stay (And 5 Reasons She Shouldn't)

5. Familiarity

Peter Capaldi Doctor Who Time Of The Doctor Clara Twelve One of the reason's Clara Oswald should stay is also, in the same vein, a reason she should depart Doctor Who. Since the revival of the show, companions seem to have a shelf life of around 2-3 series. Clara has completed two of such thus far and, in keeping with an unwritten tradition, she should be phased out of the series with this coming Christmas Special to make way for a new companion to travel alongside the Doctor in Series 9. While Clara is, arguably, the most important companion to the Doctor to date, her time has come and gone.
