You're welcome. I was meant to put this up yesterday but better late than never, eh?

Or she is an alien lesbian (or is that lesbian alien?) from the past. Which would be awesome.

Either works.

I think you could also add Canton Everett Delaware III to your sample, couldn't you. He's been on the TARDIS? And there is the TARDIS/IDRIS herself.

So yeah there is a wealth of diverse casting in Doctor Who, and we don't know anything about JLC character so she could be anything...

Under couples, you might also add that Martha was engaged to Tom Milligan (from "Last of the Time Lords"), and Donna with the guy she married in "End of Time 2" (Shawn? Sean? I think was his name). And it's worth pointing out that we've seen three interracial couples: Rose and Mickey, Tom and Martha, Donna and Shawn ( ... )

Nasreen Chaudry is especially interesting in that she gets, essentially, a classical companion arc in two episodes. You know, going from "Who is this lunatic?" to "OMG bigger on inside how?" to "must save the day with the Doctor" to "I'm leaving for something/someone I believe in."

In regards to the original post, I also note that Rory was not advertised as a companion (perhaps so that his reappearance would be a surprise), and that Moffat likes to work with two companions. So it's entirely possible that Jenna's character's girlfriend (or boyfriend) will be a person of color. (I'm kind of rooting for girlfriend, but I'd be cool either way.)
