The Doctor has had many companions join him on his adventures through the years, with some even making an appearance in the revived series such as Sarah Jane Smith.
But what if an older companion was to bump into him again? In fact what if the original companion were to meet her Grandfather again??
According to Carol Ann Ford, Peter Capladi is keen on a family reunion and wants to see the 12th Doctor meet his granddaughter, Susan Foreman! The character was introduced in the very first episode as a student at Coal Hill School back in 1963, before leaving the following year to be with the man she loved.
Talking to Doctor Who Magazine, Ford said: “…they invited us to the studios in Cardiff [during the filming of ‘Last Christmas’]. It was great. It was lovely to meet Peter [Capaldi]. A lovely man. I had seen some of the performances he’d done as Doctor Who and I didn’t like the way they wrote him at the beginning. I thought, ‘What’s going on here? Give him a chance!’ They portrayed him as someone who was so prickly. He started saying, ‘Oh, you should come back!’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’d love to come back!’ He was running around the TARDIS saying, ‘She’s got to come back! She’s got to come back!’”
Ford is certainly more than game to return to the hit sci-fi series, and I’d say theres a good chance we will see her again. After all, Galifrey is still out there and needs finding. Who better than a relative of the Doctor to help show him the way?
Doctor Who returns with it’s ninth series later in the year.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
