potential doctor who companions in an ideal world
- A skilled artist, very much the sort of person who’d be overjoyed to learn about art throughout history… but they’re a cave painter from 6000 BC who’s only just learned what a pen is
- The typical “person who has a monotonous minimum wage job where they don’t realize their potential as a person” but they’re a roman working at one of those ancient fast food places
- Mechanic who’s fascinated by the TARDIS and gets very good at learning the controls/fixing all the weird biotech and the Doctor has to deal with the TARDIS continuously siding with her New Favorite Companion. The pure opposite of the TARDIS not liking Clara.
- K9 again
- Alien historian who wrote their thesis on humans and is really, really delighted to end up in fantastic places like “a small town in wales, 2013″
- Private detective/bounty hunter/etc hired to track down the Doctor and gets tied up in adventures with them instead
- An early computer scientist from the 1940s who nevertheless learns to apply the principles they know to future technology
- A Gallifreyan but they’re just some random working class citizen who isn’t really embroiled in the war politics and has never even seen a TARDIS before
- Birdwatcher here for some very high stakes birdwatching (velociraptors)
we really need to bring back companions that aren’t from modern times
