"Pearl Mackie has been officially revealed as the new Doctor Who companion. The actress will join the show in 2017 as a character named Bill. Mackie commented: “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.” link

Apart from the fact that she has never met a Dalek before, the scene shows us that Bill is not one to simply accept what the Doctor tells her, and won’t be fobbed off with the Time Lord’s half-explanations. This fits in with what Capaldi has previously said about the new companion: “I think the companion has to be someone who’s not so impressed by the Doctor – she’s not an assistant, she’s not a servant, she can’t be that – she has to be someone who really says ‘are you sure that’s the right thing to do? What are you doing?’” www.cultbox.co.uk/features/opinion/everything-we-know-so-far-about-new-doctor-who-companion-pearl-mackie
