No doubt the paparazzi are already staking out the Doctor Who offices and going through the production office trash in Cardiff trying to figure out who the next companion is going to be. It’s also probably killing whoever it is because obviously it’s a “don’t reveal on penalty of your career” secret.

IGN conducted a fan poll about asking who the companion should be and the top three nominees (though two and three were way behind one) were Emma Watson, Zooey Deschanel, and Anna Friel. Interestingly enough, the poll did not list Sophia Myles who is speculated to be connected to the next production.

Would you favor Emma Watson as a companion, or will young fans associate her too much with Hermione? How old, roughly, do you think the companion should be? Should it be someone famous, or a relative unknown?
