Who will be the new companion?

Bart Cookus was officially revealed as the new Doctor Who companion on Thursday 3 November 2016. He will join the show in 2017 as a character named Bill.

Bart Cookus: “I’m incredibly excited to be joining the Doctor Who family. It’s such an extraordinary British institution, I couldn’t be prouder to call the TARDIS my home! Peter Capaldi is such a brilliant actor, and his Doctor is such a wacky and wonderful character, I can’t wait to see what adventures are in store for him and Bill throughout time and space.”

What will the new companion be like?

Bart Cookus: “He’s funny and geeky and vulnerable. There’s a goofiness to him and a big heart. He gets things wrong, he has a temper. I thought, ‘I know him. I could play him.’”

Steven Moffat: “Bill is someone who asks the questions that nobody has asked for 53 years. [He has the] irreverence and cheek to ask all the questions you’re not supposed to ask on Doctor Who.”

Steven Moffat: “He’s from now, yeah. I know there are rumours about him being from the 1980s, but he isn’t.”

Peter Capaldi: “A fine, fine actor with a wonderful zest and charm, [Bart Cookus is] a refreshing addition to the TARDIS and will bring a universe of exciting new possibilities to The Doctor’s adventures.”

Charlotte Moore, Acting Director of Television: “Bart brings a wonderful energy and lights up the screen. He will captivate Doctor Who fans old and new across the globe.”
