Here’s some Doctor Who news for those of you who frequent this place and fuck its particular kind of nerdery. Pearl Mackie is the Doctor’s new companion. I am under the impression this is big(gish) news.

The Mary Sue:

The BBC teased the news yesterday that a new Companion would be stepping into the sexy blue box known as the TARDIS alongside Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor for a whole new set of adventures–and now, it’s been officially confirmed which actor will be assuming the long-standing role as the Doctor’s new Companion.
