Following the tragic death of Jenna Coleman's character, there's an assistant place up for grabs
It was a big night for Doctor Who fans on Saturday (21 Nov) as the main man’s assistant, Clara Oswald, met an untimely and particularly gruesome end. But grief doesn’t hang around for long in television and already there have been whispers about who could be Clara’s replacement.
Who will be the new person standing by the side of Doctor Who?
The latest reincarnation of Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi, added fuel to the fire when discussing Jenna Coleman’s assistant with Graham Norton.
He refused to be drawn on speculation about Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams taking the coveted role.

He said: "She’s been in Game of Thrones since she was 12.
"I was doing a shot with her and when they called ‘action’ she slightly pulled me back. When I asked her what she was doing, she said ‘you’re in my light’.
"But she’s lovely."
Capaldi also revealed how sad it was when Clara died in her final episode but confirmed that she may not come back to the series.
He said: "Sometimes people can’t come back. Sometimes things happen that they can’t come back from."
