Yes, we know that the actor playing the new companion is Jenna-Louise Coleman, but what we didn’t know, and may not yet know for sure, is the character’s name. Apparently location shooting has begun with the new companion for Doctor Who, and people who have been near the site have been able to snap a few pictures and caught the companion’s name, or think they did.
The shoot is reportedly for the 11th episode of the new season. We already knew that the new companion will debut on the Christmas special, so that makes sense. Wait til you see Matt Smith‘s great look in these pics. Ready?
