First look into Series 7 episode 11 of Doctor Who.
We may have found out the name of the next companion after The Ponds!
Jenna Louise Coleman’s first pictures as next Companion Clara.
To me she looks sort of unhappy with The Doctor in the first picture and it looks like this theme of this episode is possibly Victorian days?
Notice also, the doctor has a new costume change? O:
Costume hunting away!
Dem costumes. I’m so excited!
WELCOME, NEW LADY-FRIEND OF DOCTOR!
AHH HELP MATT IN SPECS AND A FROCK COAT. And yay, excellent, our companion has a name! HELLO CLARA. :D

Top Ten: Martha Jones is Flawless
2. Journey’s End (4x13)The moment is easily one of my favourites ever, not just for Martha but in the whole Doctor Who series. Martha was in love with the Doctor, but when she shows up to help save the world and sees Rose, she’s just happy for them. No jealousy, no cattiness, just ‘oh my god, he found you,’ because Martha Jones is strong and so infinitely classy. After everything that she went through, after all the heartbreak, feeling like she was second-best, the year that never was - after all these things, Martha is just completely happy for him. To me, the amazingness of this scene was nothing to do with Doctor/Rose and everything to do with Martha Jones being one of the classiest and most flawless characters in Who history. It must have hurt her to see them together but she’s not jealous - she’s simply glad they found each other. Not many people are so wonderfully selfless and empathetic.
The thing some people don’t seem to realize about Martha Jones is that she bears no ill will towards her romantic rivals. Oh, yeah, she gets angry—at the Doctor, for sticking Rose up on a pedestal and using her as an excuse to snub Martha in completely unrelated situations. But I can’t think of any place where Martha lays in on Rose herself.
And for fuck’s sake, look at the way she interacts with Joan Redfern. She has every reason to resent Joan—she’s heartbroken that the fobwatched Doctor is falling in love with Joan and not her, the addition of romantic complications makes Martha’s job a hundred times more difficult, and Joan is constantly being a condescending douchebag and trying to keep Martha ‘in her place.’ And Martha? Doesn’t even appear to consider venting her spleen on Joan herself. She hates the entire situation and the Doctor’s failure to plan for it; why bother to take it out on some poor woman who’s fallen in love with an artificial creation?
And that’s Martha all over. She’s all about the task at hand. When the romance interferes with that, she’s not pleased. When the romantic unpleasantness is because Ten is a dick, she’s doubly displeased. But she has no instinctive bitterness towards the other women themselves.
I also just want to state for the record that I love how this scene features Rose’s instant Martha Jones Appreciation Society.

The Community writers rule so hard
(Of course it’s obviously also a reference to every other time this happened in a television show/movie, such as lost in translation, but I felt this was the most fitting)
omg.

a-high-functioning-hufflepuff:
The Avengers’ names written in Circular Gallifreyan.
I demand an Avengers/Doctor Who crossover. NAO.
Oh good lord. I’m dead. How about that?
As DoctorLongscarf once said on Twiter:
“Ancient Gallifreyan Motherfucker, Do You Speak It?”
I…*chinhands*
So…um…hey H, do we have any good colored markers?
HA, @filiabelialis and I were just talking about this!
I believe it went “Loki and the Master both try to summon ~POWERS BEYOND MORTAL COMPREHENSION~ and each of them ends up summoning the other, they play ridiculous mind games trying to subjugate one another. Then each of their respective good guys shows up and offers to Help Defeat This Uncontrollable Evil You Have So Unwisely Unleashed while making puppy eyes of reconciliation, and so Thor goes and beats the crap out of the Master while Loki and the Doctor have an epic Trickster vs. Trickster battle. (Which somehow ends up involving horses, lots of bondage, and off-label uses of the TARDIS swimming pool, none of which could POSSIBLY be a gratuitous excuse to get Loki chained up and soaking wet.) Meanwhile, all the Avengers and assorted companions are munching popcorn on the sidelines and becoming the best of bros.”
For NuWho companions, I believe the bromances were Amy-Rory-Natasha-Clint (though obviously River and Natasha would also get on like a house on fire, maybe literally), Donna and Tony bickering each other to death and loving every minute of it, Martha and Bruce as underappreciated science bros, and Rose and Steve being terribly earnest at each other.
There’s probably also an eyepatch joke in there somewhere involving Nick Fury and the Brig. UNIT and SHIELD totally get into a helicarrier drag race.
And the Doctor, bless him, is stupidly, secretly gratified to once again be hanging out in a motley crew of weirdos with ‘the’ in front of their names.
