Samuel Anderson, unveiled as the new Doctor Who companion, a teacher

The news of the day is the announcement of a new companion for the Doctor: Samuel Jackson joins the cast of Doctor who as Danny Pink, a teacher working alongside Clara Oswald at Coal Hill School, where original Who companions Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton taught back in 1963 before heading off in the Tardis for adventures in space and time.

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat said he was looking forward to introducing the  character to viewers, but remained coy about exactly what part Danny would play in the Doctor and Clara’s adventures.
